However, with just a handful of laps left a flat right rear tire ended any hopes for a top finish. Appearing to rebound in the second night of the Duel at Dodge City doubleheader, Larson drove from 14th starting to battle for fourth when contact with a lapped car sent the 18 year old into a spin and resulting lazy tipover.

Calistoga, California. September 5 and 6, 2009. Seventeen year old Kyle Larson, of Elk Grove, California, shed the wing on top for the first time and tried his hand at traditional sprint car racing at the big and wickedly fast half mile of Calistoga Speedway. Larson’s lack of experience at this type of racing would not allow the youngster to be intimidated as he ran with the leaders on both nights and impressed many veteran onlookers with his standout performances. Unfortunately, late race mishaps with the race track cushion on Saturday and an incident with the leader and another driver on Sunday led to disappointing finishes in the final results.  Kyle Larson Racing Press Release

While Calistoga ended on a downer as the 16 year old driver could not compete on the second night due to a stubborn car that would not fire, making the B-Main event at the Gold Cup had to be considered as another rung up the ladder in the development of the youthful driver.

Third At Placerville Civil War Keeps Larson In Title Chase
Another run from deep in the pack for birthday boy

Placerville, CA. August 2, 2008. If passing points were a component of the Hoosier Tire California 360 Sprint Car Civil War Series Kyle Larson might have a pretty comfortable point lead at this point. With previous Civil War runs at Placerville (C-main to A-main), Calistoga (19th to sixth), and Petaluma (17th to fifth), added to last Saturday’s charge from 15th to third at Placerville, Larson is quickly earning a reputation as a driver who will find a way to the front. And despite point leader Sean Becker taking the win from third starting, Larson, who celebrated his 16th birthday two days prior, was able to stay solidly in second place in points after round 10 of the season long 15 race series. The soon to be high school junior is now trailing by eight points.

The fifth place finish, combined with late race misfortune for series point leader Sean Becker, allowed the soon to be sixteen year old to close within four points in the 15 race championship showdown.

Larson First To Repeat In  Civil War With Another Win At Chico
Chico, California. July 18, 2008. 15 year old Kyle Larson became the first driver to score a second win in the 15 race Hoosier Tires California 360 Sprint Car Civil War Series during round number eight at Silver Dollar Speedway last Friday night. Both wins in the series for the youngster have come at the Chico speed plant. Although Larson comfortably led most of the race, an excursion through a treacherous rut in turn one while attempting to pass lapped traffic allowed defending Civil War champion Andy Forsberg to take over the lead until a blown head gasket ended his race six laps short of the finish...

Run From Tail Of B Misses By One For Larson At Mark Forni Classic
Placerville, CA, July 12, 2008. Unless a driver is coming out of the C-main, the prospect of running a B-main event is never the desired way into a night’s feature race. Too many unknowns can derail even the best drivers on their way to a transfer in the final race. At Saturday’s third annual $5,000 to win Mark Forni Classic race at Placerville Speedway Kyle Larson found that out first hand as a rare miscue on lap two of the B-main event led to the young driver missing his first main event of the season.  ParkerStore article

Larson third in Petaluma Civil War
Petaluma, CA. July 5, 2008. In a return visit of the Hoosier Tire California 360 Sprint Car Civil War Series to Petaluma Speedway, things proceeded in much the same manner for Kyle Larson as they did in round number two for the traveling series last April. Then, as well as Saturday night, Larson held third place in the main event only to lose the spot at the midpoint, but just like the previous Petaluma event, fought back to make a late race pass to take a podium finish.

Passing Aplenty For Larson Until Quincy Civil War Ends With 16th Place Finish
Larson dejected after uphill battle
Quincy, CA  June 21, 2008. Although he would not have won the hard charger award as he did in the previous Hoosier Tires California 360 Civil War Series event at Calistoga Speedway, Kyle Larson put on another impressive passing exhibition as the touring group made their first ever visit to Quincy’s American Valley Speedway. After losing his original fifth starting spot in the main event due to being involved in a lap one skirmish, 15 year old Larson twice came from the back on the pack, making 18 green flag passes on a very narrow, mostly single file race track, in the span of the first 23 laps. Unfortunately, while challenging for sixth with six laps remaining, the Dave and Debbie Vertullo CRV Racing Products/Eagle/Kistler mount was trailered early after contact with another driver, placing Larson 16th in the final rundown...

Larson 19th to Sixth At Calistoga
Moves into third in Civil War Points
Calistoga CA, June 14, 2008. Kyle Larson shook off the effects of a dismal qualifying effort by rebounding to take a very satisfying sixth place finish at one of his favorite tracks, the picturesque Calistoga Speedway, as the Hoosier Tire California 360 Sprint Car Civil War series held round number five of their 15 race schedule this past Saturday night. Larson, the winner of the previous Civil War race at Chico’s Silver Dollar Speedway on May 25, was able to stay in contention for the Civil War title by earning his fourth top six finish in five events of the highly competitive Civil War Series...

New Sprint Car Fans At Calistoga Speedway 

Kyle with 1st time sprint car fans Rob & Corina Duran.  Both were in the area working on a film project "Bedtime Stories" starring Adam Sandler & Keri Russell due out in December.  Corina is the make-up artist for the film.  They were looking for something to do and found the Civil War Sprint Cars at Calistoga Speedway.  They were pretty amazed with their 1st experience.  We think they are hooked!

Chico, CA.

Larson Scores 4th And DNF In Chico Pair

Chico, CA. May 16 & 17, 2008. Despite record breaking heat in Northern California, Chico’s Silver Dollar Speedway attracted large car counts for two nights of 410 sprint car racing highlighted by the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial race on Saturday. Kyle Larson and the Dave and Debbie Vertullo Racing Team made their second appearance of the season during the opener Friday night at the weekly point series on the quarter mile oval and the 15 year old charger found the track to his liking as he nabbed fourth in the feature event, while the next night saw the first DNF of the season due to throttle linkage problems....

Larson’s First Chili Bowl
Ends With Flip

Tulsa, Oklahoma, January 11 & 12, 2008. Although Kyle Larson’s first attempt at the Chili Bowl ended with a spectacular finish, it wasn’t really the kind of conclusion the 15 year old from Elk Grove, California wanted. After earning a spot in one of Saturday’s pair of F Main events, misfortune struck for Larson as he could not avoid a slowing car just ahead of the checkered flag. As the flag waved Larson climbed the right rear tire of Andrew Felker of Carl Junction, Missouri, and launched into a wild flip across the finish line... ParkerStore Article
