Kyle Larson Wins First USAC Midget Feature In Two Years At Placerville
Kyle Larson Wins First USAC Midget Feature In Two Years At Placerville
Kyle Larson held off Logan Seavey and Buddy Kofoid to win the Friday prelim portion of the Hangtown 100 at Placerville Speedway.
Kyle Larson estimated that it had been the longest he’d gone without winning a midget race in his illustrious career.
As it turned out, the ingredients that made up his last victory just two days shy of two years ago turned out to be the same mix that led him to victory lane during Friday night’s Hangtown 100 opener at California’s Placerville Speedway.
Although Larson’s time spent behind the wheel of a midget is fewer and far between these days with all his other obligations, this was one he had long coveted, and of course, winning never becomes old hat, even for Larson.
Winning Quote From Kyle Larson
“It was a lot of fun and it’s cool to get back into victory lane in a midget, Not that I race them a lot, but it’s been a couple years since I’ve won a midget race. I’ve run 10 or 12 midget races over the last couple of years and that’s probably the longest I’ve gone without winning a midget race.”
