Every time we attend a race, we hope to see something special – an amazing move to take the lead, a memorable duel, someone overcoming the odds stacked against them, or pretty much something you don’t see on a regular basis. These are those eight moments from the 2020 USAC National season that drew us out of our seats and made us say “wow!”
8. Larson Duels With T-Mez At The Burg
Oct 28, 2020
A one-race “losing” streak was more than enough for Kyle Larson to endure as he got back on the winning track and returned to victory lane on June 20 in the penultimate round of Indiana Midget Week at Lawrenceburg Speedway.
The Elk Grove, Calif. native had won eight features in a row across USAC, World of Outlaws and All Star competition over the past couple of weeks prior to finishing as the runner-up the night before at Lincoln Park Speedway’s Indiana Midget Week event.
Larson’s impressive victory at “The Burg” came on a late-race restart with four laps remaining as he slid by leader Thomas Meseraull for the pinnacle position to earn his fourth Indiana Midget Week score in a five-night span and his ninth career victory at IMW, tying him atop the all-time list for most IMW wins with Bryan Clauson.
