Actually in the long run it worked out great.
I wouldn't bet against him winning the thing. That kid can wheel a racecar no matter what kind it is.
There's no doubt he is a very talented driver. Good on you Kyle!!
Now, if the roles were reversed, is any Indy Car or F1 driver getting in a Cup car and capable of contending in their first race?
Personally, I don't think so.
Larson really need to run in traffic. that's going to be the learning curve
Yeah let’s see how he does in a crowd:-) Quote from Days of Thunder
GO LARSON !!!!!
Awesome job. Good luck and I will be watching both races
giving the kid more than one time to bust a lap to qualify is dangerous for the field
Go Motor Mouse 17
This is VERY fun to watch!!!!
Que orgulho TK, você é foda !
Reunião de lendas, incrível !
Larson é um ótimo piloto da para ver como ele é dedicado … mas irei torcer aqui do Brasil pelo Hélio Castro Neves
So much hype for such a boring outdated form of racing. Race for whom is best at only turning left.
Reserving being impressed with Kyle when he wins Mid-Ohio, or Laguna. He's a bit of a diva. You race NASCAR dude, it's not rocket science.
Go getem Young Money ❤😎💪
Ryan preece is a better driver👌
Just ask him ☝️
Imagine when he learn how to use the tools in the car 😮😮😮😊
The best racist, I mean racer, or did I?
Three professional at work!!! How cool is that😎😎
If he stays within himself I see a top 5. He’s got a great team behind him.
I wonder how many people understand how huge this is. Very few Indy rookies qualify in the top 12, let alone 6th fastest. If the conditions are right he could potentially take the pole today. Keeping his nerves calm and staying focused is going to be what makes it happen for Kyle. The support and team behind him is what he needs. Maybe Hendrick should consider running an Indycar team next year. They already have a driver that can get it done.
Interesting, it seems like Kyle Larson is the big story at Indy this year.
Yung money is just incredible so calm and then says he not going fast enough wow this kid blows me away
Poor TK. Great driver but he definitely does not have the best driver in this race.
Kyle Larson is the Goat.
Can Kyle hand his car off to Tony Kannan ,during RACE?
