Kyle Larson runs away with High Limit win at Red Cedar

MENOMONIE, Wisc.—In front of a live television audience on FS1, Kyle Larson displayed arguably the most dominant performance in Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing history Wednesday night at Menomonie, Wisconsin's Red Cedar Speedway.
Officially, the Elk Grove, California native will go into the record books with the fourth-largest margin of victory coming in at 3.411-seconds. However, before a Lap 24 caution set up a six-lap sprint to the finish, Larson's lead over the field stood out a surreal ten-second advantage as he seemed poised to lap inside the top-five order.
To get there, the defending NASCAR Cup Series champion beat pole sitter Brent Marks off the line and took the race lead from the green flag. He quickly reached lap traffic on Lap 4 before the first of two cautions in a 12-minute feature halted his intensity.
During the 19-lap green flag run, the Silva Motorsports #57 was on a tear like no other - slicing through traffic at nail-biting angles and bouncing off the cushion in the most controlled, out-of-control environment you'd ever see.
Surviving the final restart with ease, Larson crossed the finish line in front of a packed house at Red Cedar Speedway to make it back-to-back victories in the Roto-Rooter Midweek Series - backing up Monday's Iowa Lottery Duel at Davenport win. It was his fourth Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing win of the season and the 13th of his career.
Attention is now turning to when will Larson lose. "Yung Money" plans to follow Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing through Gondik Law Speedway (Thur) and I-94 emr Speedway (Fri) - giving him a chance to record the first-ever four-race win streak in series history.
Behind Larson, Brent Marks kept his impressive run of runner-up results alive - finishing second for the third consecutive night. "The Myerstown Missile" continues trending towards that first Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing win of the season.
After them, Justin Peck and Rudeen Racing rounded out the podium for their sixth-straight top-10 effort - the longest active streak with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing.
Closing out the top-five was Tyler Courtney in the Clauson-Marshall Racing, NOS Energy Drink #7BC and Giovanni Scelzi in the Spire Motorsports, Chili's Grill & Bar #77.
Finishing out the top-10 in Menomonie was Tanner Thorson, Rico Abreu, Brenham Crouch, Ayrton Gennetten, and Kerry Madsen.
