Larson again schools USAC regulars

Kyle Larson

Kyle Larson won his eighth straight race over the past 12 days by winning his 3rd USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget race in as many nights.

After starting 15th at Lincoln Park Speedway, Larson passed Tanner Thorson for first on Lap 22 of 30 and led the final nine laps.

A bounty is out on Larson who now has three straight wins in the 16th annual Indiana Midget Week – winning Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Thorson was second while Cannon McIntosh, Chris Windom and Shane Golobic rounded out the top-5.

BOUNTY POSTED FOR KYLE LARSON FOR REST OF INDIANA MIDGET WEEK

Richard and Jennifer Marshall of Priority Aviation have posted a bounty on Kyle Larson for the remainder of 2020 Indiana Midget Week June 17-21, starting with round two, Wednesday night at Gas City I-69 Speedway.

The Marshalls have posted the first $1,000 of the bounty. If Larson doesn’t win the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget feature on a particular night, the winner of that night’s feature will collect a minimum extra $1,000. If Larson does win the Midget feature, the money will be donated to the Indiana Donor Network in Larson’s name. This will continue all throughout the ensuing five nights of Indiana Midget Week Wednesday at Gas City, Thursday and Friday at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Saturday at Lawrenceburg Speedway and Sunday at Kokomo Speedway.
