Elk Grove, CA- Kyle Larson, the 12 year old ParkerStores pilot put his QRC Factory Kart in Victory Lane again this past Saturday night at Cycleland Speedway. Larson picked up the win in the 125cc class. Larson qualified third quick with a time of 11.273 in a field of 18 karts. He started outside of the second row in the 6 kart dash. On the start he jumped into 2nd and quickly began to close in on the #80 kart of Brian Southers. On the third lap Kyle was overtaken by the #8X Dillon Silverman coming out of turn four. On lap 7 he reclaimed the second position and quickly closed on Southers during the eighth and final lap. Coming out of turn, the ParkerStore standout dove underneath Southers and raced him to the line for the win. In the 20 lap A Main event Larson started inside the third row. By the second lap he had faded to sixth position and started his mission back to the front. On lap 11 Kyle inherited 3rd place when #25X Jonny Lentz spun in front of him bringing out the caution flag. At the drop of the green flag Kyle began to apply pressure on 125cc point’s leader Mason Moore, finally overtaking him on lap 14. He then set his sights on race leader #55S Sean Martin, before making his tactical move for the lead on lap 16. Kyle proceeded to pull away from the field and capture the win. He has now moved into the second position in the point standings, trailing Moore by just 28 points with two events remaining. In the Open Intermediate class Kyle struggled with mechanical failures, including a broken chain as he was pushed off for the qualifying session. In the 20 lap A-Main event the floor pan of the MAJ1K Motorsports entry caught a mound of clay destroying the pedals, tie rods and steering shaft of the ParkerStore kart. Fortunately, he was uninjured, and credited with an eleventh place finish. MAJ1K Motorsport will be in action again on September 25th at the Cycleland Speedway |
