Larson wins Davenport sprint, pledges purse to Kyle Busch fund
After his Iowa Lottery Duel win at Davenport Speedway, Kyle Larson paid tribute to Kyle Busch — who had died 11 days earlier — and pledged a portion of his purse and Angel Donor funds to the Kyle & Samantha Busch Bundle of Joy Fund. Larson had jumped into Paul Silva’s No. 57 sprint car after racing in the Cup Series at Nashville the previous night and won the 30-lap feature. He started third, executed a three-wide move around Brady Bacon and Brent Marks to reach second, then traded sliders with Aaron Reutzel to seize the lead on lap 7. A late restart with 20 laps remaining allowed Larson to pull away; he won by 3.275 seconds and lapped competitors as far back as the top 10. It was Larson’s third Whiskey Myers Victory Lane of the season, his 12th career CASM Safety Products Win Sticker in High Limit Racing competition, and his fifth Roto-Rooter Midweek Series win. Brent Marks finished second and Giovanni Scelzi finished third. Rico Abreu had eight Roto-Rooter Midweek Series victories — more than Larson’s five. Larson is scheduled to continue the High Limit Racing swing at Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie, Wisconsin; Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wisconsin; and I-94 emr Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
