In his last six dirt races, Kyle Larson has now racked up an impressive five wins and a runner-up finish. It’s been an impressive run, and it continued with another victory on Saturday night as Larson swept the weekend events at Knoxville Raceway.
Larson started from the fourth-position in the 30-lap feature, but it wasn’t until lap 22, when the dominant driver in the event — Daryn Pittman — made contact with David Gravel while trying to lap him. The contact sent Pittman around, and Larson assumed the lead.

The 27-year old would not look back and he would cruise to the win by nearly three-seconds over Brad Sweet.

The California-native, who was a fixture on the NASCAR circuit until an unfortunate slip of the tongue during an iRacing event in April, has been on an incredible roll — even by his own standards — on the dirt.
