SUPERIOR, Wis. — The Roto-Rooter Midweek Series presented three opportunities at Davenport Speedway, Red Cedar Speedway and Gondik Law Speedway this week — and Kyle Larson dominated them all.
As Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing visited Gondik Law Speedway for the first time on Thursday night, the Elk Grove, California, native kept his hot streak alive and secured a hat trick with the series — sweeping all three events through Iowa and Wisconsin.
After taking Wednesday’s win at Red Cedar in out-of-control fashion on a fast and tricky curb, Thursday’s triumph at Gondik Law required much more patience and finesse across a slick and slow surface.
Coming from the third spot in the 30-lapper, Larson followed Daison Pursley across the line on the opening lap before taking control on Lap 2 and never looking back.
Larson did have to fend off a slide job attempt from Justin Peck on the final restart, but managed that with ease and drove off to a 1.503-second margin of victory at the checkered. The win marked his fifth score of the season and brings him to 14 career wins with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing.
Tomorrow at I-94 emr Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, Larson and Silva will have a chance to record the first four-peat in High Limit history.
Previous opportunities for Brad Sweet, Rico Abreu, Aaron Reutzel, and even Larson himself, have always stopped at three.
Monrovia, Indiana, native Justin Peck kept the Rudeen Racing No. 26 at the front with his second, second-place finish of the year.
ennsylvania’s Brent Marks ended his runner-up streak by falling one position, finishing third for his fourth consecutive podium with the series.
Closing out the top five were Tanner Holmes and Aaron Reutzel.
