Larson extends winning streak at Thunderbowl

TULARE, Calif. — Being 32-years-old, Kyle Larson has somewhat grown out of his "Yung Money" phase. It's worth mentioning because at least for one month of the year, he should undoubtedly be called "Mr. August."

The hottest Sprint Car driver in the world did what he does best on Thursday night when Kubota High Limit Racing raced in the state of California for the first time ever - he won.

Pouncing on his brother-in-law Brad Sweet late in the running - shades of their epic 2013 Trophy Cup battle - Larson led the final nine laps and cruised to yet another Thunderbowl triumph, this one worth $25,000.

After a dismal July, Larson and car owner / crew chief Paul Silva flipped the calendar to August and have since gone lights out. They literally have not lost. This is one of those rare instances where the use of literally is quite literally accurate.

Six races. Six of the toughest races in the country. Six wins. Zero losses. All in less than two weeks.

It started with an I-55 score over the World of Outlaws from 21st. Then he completed the Ironman 55 sweep, winning that from 12th. He went up to Osky and rode the curb to a Front Row Challenge belt from 13th. Then he snuck his way to a Knoxville Nationals preliminary win. After that, he led all 50 laps of the Knoxville Nationals for his third title. Tonight, he made it six-for-six striking late in the running at Tulare with High Limit.

There should be no selling short this surreal stretch the #57 is on. They've beaten the best Sprint Car drivers in the world, at some of the toughest races of the year, night after night after night without faltering even once.

Behind Elk Grove's Kyle Larson was St. Helena's Rico Abreu and Grass Valley's Brad Sweet completing a California podium sweep in High Limit's first-ever California event.

Rounding out the top-10 at Tulare was James McFadden, Cole Macedo, Tyler Courtney, Brent Marks, Zeb Wise, Chris Windom, and Parker Price-Miller.
