Kyle Larson once again plays double duty this weekend, running both a marquee sprint car race in Iowa and a NASCAR race in Virginia.
Kyle Larson will start on pole at the Knoxville Nationals for the second year in a row on Saturday. Larson secured 490 points during his Thursday night qualifying, tied with the No. 69k of Daryn Pittman, and secured the pole on a winning tiebreaker.Larson will attempt to win his third Knoxville Nationals title in four years from the pole. Just as when he ran the Indianapolis 500, scheduling conflicts with NASCAR could have made that a challenge.
Depending on how the track works out on Saturday, the competition will have a hard time stopping Larson from doing it again. That is scary effectiveness from a team that only runs a fraction of the sprint car season. Larson and Silva Motorsports have notably fewer laps over the course of a season, but they pull out results.Road Track caught up with Larson before qualifying.'Our success in the past week and forever with Paul is great being a part-time team,' Larson told RT.
