Kyle Larson secured yet another victory in the World of Outlaws at the Jacksonville Speedway, marking his third win out of six attempts this season. Starting from the sixth position, Larson rapidly ascended through the ranks, taking the lead from Carson Macedo on lap 16 with a well-executed slider. By the time the chequered flag was waved, Larson had impressively lapped up to the 11th place, showcasing his exceptional driving skills.
This victory adds to Larson’s remarkable record, as he has clinched six wins out of his last nine races in the World of Outlaws dating back to last year. The competition remains fierce, but Larson consistently proves himself among the best Sprint car drivers in the world. Notably, the three races he didn’t win this year still saw him finishing on the podium, underlining his competitive edge and skill behind the wheel.
Finishing in second place was Brady Bacon, along with the TKH Motorsports crew, who overtook Macedo in the closing laps to earn his fifth career podium in the World of Outlaws. Bacon’s performance demonstrated not only his talent but also the hard work and determination of his team.
Kyle Larson, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion, is currently gearing up for his second consecutive Indianapolis 500 race. In a recent practice session, he clocked 11th on the time sheets after running 67 laps. However, Thursday’s practice took a turn when Larson hit the wall in turn 1, breaking the right front suspension. This resulted in a loss of control, leading him to crash in turn 2 as well.
Last year at the Indianapolis 500, Larson started from fifth but finished 18th due to a late-race speeding penalty that pushed him deeper into the pack. He aims to improve upon that performance in this year’s race. The latest updates from NASCAR continue to provide fans with thrilling news, particularly as Larson’s career unfolds in both the World of Outlaws and NASCAR series.
