He found a way to do it again.

In what is being compared to some of the best runs in dirt track racing history, Kyle Larson maintained his dominant start to Indiana Midget Week, winning the night’s feature event at Lincoln Park from the B-Main for the second night in a row.

Once again, the driver nicknamed “Yung Money” streaked to the front in a heartbeat, and utilized cautions to pick up quick passes on restarts through the 30-lap feature. It’s the first time any driver has won three-straight Indiana Midget Week events.

The win is Larson’s eighth-straight dirt track feature victory, stretching back to his three All-Star Circuit of Champions wins last week and his sweep at the World of Outlaws Brownells Big Guns Bash at Knoxville over the weekend.

Tyler Courtney transferred from the B-Main along with Larson, and actually beat the 27-year old in the semi-feature. He finished the race in 12th and maintained his USAC Midget Points Standings lead over Chris Windom by three points.

The USAC Midgets will return to the track for another Indiana Midget Week event on Friday night at Lincoln Park again. It can be seen on FloRacing.
