Kyle Larson was right on the doorstep of the leaders for the better part of Friday’s 50-lap Super Bowl of Racing A-Main, but couldn’t quite secure the lead, at least until the final pair of laps where everything came together.
The all-around motorsports superstar completed his drive to the front with the aid of a lapped car taking the inside lane from Ricky Thornton Jr., taking the No. 6 around the high side in route to a victory in his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series start of 2023.

Larson even tried to throw a NASCAR twist on his celebration at the end of the night, and banged the car up a bit in the process.
