Kyle Larson came out on top a thrilling battle with Jonathan Davenport to win the Kyle Larson Late Model Challenge on Thursday night at Volunteer Speedway. Larson, who was a co-promoter of the event with FloRacing, kept the $20,000 winner's check for himself after winning the race. 

Larson and Davenport swapped the lead multiple times during the 50-lap feature while bringing fans to their feet at the Bulls Gap, Tennessee dirt track. Larson took the lead back from Davenport for the final time with 14 laps to go after throwing a huge slide-job in turn one. From there, Larson beat down the boards and drove his car to victory lane with a flat left rear tire. 

Dale McDowell made his way by Davenport in the closing laps to steal the runner-up spot. Defending race winner Mike Marlar and Chris Madded completed the top five. 

NASCAR Cup Series stars Kyle Busch and Chase Briscoe accepted promoter provisionals to start the race. They finished the race 16th and 18th, respectively. 

Winning Quote From Kyle Larson

“I think with Jonathan out in front of me it makes you want to win even more because he's so damn good. What a hell of a race there. Every freakin' late model race I've been in this year is wild and fun."
