Larson dominates Lucas Dirt season opener at All-Tech

By Series PR

LAKE CITY, Fla. - Kyle Larson scored the victory in the first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event of the season on Saturday night at All-Tech Raceway in Lake City, Florida.

The 28-year-old California native earned his second career win in a dirt late model. On his way to victory lane he took the lead from Tyler Erb on lap 14 and proceeded to lap up to the eighth-place finisher, eventually winning the race by a stout 15 seconds.

There was a tight battle for the lead for the first 14 laps as Larson, Erb, and Devin Moran battled for the lead. Larson started sixth and passed Erb for the point, completely dominating the rest of the 50-lap race which went caution free. Moran moved into second on lap 16 and stayed there the rest of the race. New track record holder Mike Marlar came home in third followed by reigning series champion Jimmy Owens in fourth, and Brandon Sheppard in fifth.

“I have been asking a lot of people how to run the bottom,”said Larson. “I have been really bad every time in a late model about moving around. I can run the top good but moving around I haven’t been very good. So, I just tried to be a lot smoother. Gosh, my race car was so fast. I could go anywhere I wanted.”

Tyler Erb, Gregg Satterlee, Blairsville, Georgia’s Jonathan Davenport, Kyle Bronson and and Evans, Georgia’s Brandon Overton rounded out the top 10.
