Kyle's a racer. That's all there is to it. Excited to see how he does next Sunday
Lately in Cup he's admitted to some unforced errors, and in an unfamiliar discipline, well, let's just keep our fingers crossed! I am definitely a #5 fan, HMS fan plus TK, Kurt etc.
@@roberthevern6169 as the fan of the other Kyle (Busch), i gotta agree that despite his recent troubles, Larson's talent is good enough to have a ton of faith in any kind of Racing Category, as people say with Sebastian Vettel, give him an engine, 4 tyres and a steering wheel and he would make it fast
Same. This could be history in the making
Umm…all race car drivers are racers.
Spoiler: He was very fast!
I firmly believe Robin is looking down on us all right now. He knows Kyle is here at Indy, and he's watching with an ear-to-ear smile
Me too!!!
who is that
@@SV-tj7mm Robin Miller. A former racer, a journalist that covered Racing, and one of the Best Friends the Indianapolis Motor Speedway ever had! He is really missed. Particularly this time of Year.
I watched Kyle in my little heck town when he was 16. He was bad ass then and he's bad ass now. Good luck Kyle..
NASCAR and Indy get all the glory , but the real racing is on our west coast short tracks .
Hick town dude
As a nascar fan how cool would it be for this young man to win both races. He would definitely be in the history books I'm pulling for him 1000%
He would stand alone if he won even 1 of them. If he finishes every lap, that would make him 1 of 2 people
I like your name sounds familiar I've seen it befour
That's not going to happen. I'd be very surprised if he even does as well as Tony did.
@@bigelile07 He posted the 2nd-best single lap at 234.271 mph. today. And his best 4-lap qualifying simulation run is 232.549, which would be good for 10th.
@@shaynejenkins446
That's all fine and dandy, but he is going to be racing against full-time drivers that are not only IRL champions, but drivers that have won the Indy 500 more than once. Turning laps and actual racing are two different things.
Love how honest and unfiltered Kyle is in interviews. Even after "the incident" he'll still drop a casual f-bomb or something in an interview lol. Always sounds like he's talking to the interviewer the same way he would to a friend
Not to mention saying the N word and is loved by everyone. What a guy! Smh
@@godisgood1359 I mentioned that in my comment. I forgave him for saying something dumb and moved on, like most people. You should try it too
@@godisgood1359 I can't say it because CZcams will freak out but let's say Me (white guy), Kyle & Bubba are walking down the street. If someone yells out 'HEY HONKY?' Will any of us turn around? No. If someone yells out, "HEY JAP?' None of us will turn around. But if someone yells out "HEY (that word here)?" We all know which one of us will turn around and it ain't me or Kyle. So get over yourself.
Never been to Indy........................but I can say with certainty I have never seen ANYONE go through the corners at Calistoga faster without a wing in a sprint car then Kyle Larson. He drove that place like a man possessed and with a fearlessness beyond his years. It was a spectacle I won't ever forget.
I saw him race at the Bristol night race in '21...he would powerslide through the corners, slide into the grooves, and Harvick tried to put him the wall and he just was sideways across the front straight and hung on to it! Easily the baddest driver on the track!
I went to the 2008 "500" to watch my close friend race in it, what an experiance! Beats any European racing easy!
Same when he was at Petaluma🤘🏻
Please Mother Nature no rain at this year's Indy 500!
No rain for INDY but rain for Monaco please haha
@@AGHowardCaliwhy would you wish rain for Monaco!
@@roberthevern6169 so its interesting
@@roberthevern6169Because rain would actually make Monaco a much more interesting race than the usual "Follow Verstappen Parade." 😴
@@roberthevern6169have u SEEN THE RACE LAST YEAR?
Kyle's final comment about Le Mans was spot on.
imagine they have like 6 garage 56 nascars ran under toyota ford and chevy yk that would ne neat
@@itzfinka that just sounds stupid
Holy Shit David! I’ve watched you for years, and have seen your humble beginnings and just how far you’ve come!! Really happy for you!! Well done on pursuing your dream, and being successful at it! Home run interview! I wanna see you interview Lewis Hamilton, or Fernando together now!! Something to shoot for!
Yes, he really 'landed' the interview.....
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves...
But, as a fan of DL now in my 4th yr, you are spot on!
Robin is smiling like the rest of us !
David one thing is for certain. You are going to get a ton more engagement on your videos this month. Such a wide range of takes from the "NASCAR is easy this guy sucks" to "Larson is the best driver on planet earth" crowd. I love that we have a guy down to do the double and i respect the hell out of his talent AND willingness to get in and drive anything and everything.
Kyle Larson is a great driver sure hope it don’t rain he is always smiling has a great attitude ❤
I can definitely tell he's a lot happier
He truly is a happy guy! Your comment gave me pause, as it was incomplete. Guess you were distracted...
He’s a lot happier as apposed to what lol
I’m old enough to have watched A J and recently been a big fan of Larson. The Indy racing is so big because of advertising and the 300,000+ in the standgrands . The whole atmosphere is wrapping around you, the actual performance is boiled drown to Money. I’m overwhelmed at Larson’s skill at so many different levels! I got those same feelings when Chase Elliot drove in latter road courses, his shifting technique was so precise, it amazing how good today’s Top drivers are.
Kyle’s a true American Indycar driver on the inside that just happened to win championships in Stockcars, Sprints, etc ha. 😉🤙He deserves to be there and I hope he has a good race. Respects Kyle, Miller is up in Heaven ecstatic root’n for ya bro. Great coverage as always Land. So stoked we have you out there to ask the questions all of us want to hear. MERICA! Indy 500 baby!
💪🏎️🏁🇺🇸
I am sure glad you didn't say True American hero. Someone that uses the N Word can never be a True American hero in my book
First time I was there was 83. Our seats were in turn 4. I can still remember to this day, when the full field came out of turn 3, straight towards us. It was mind blowing. You definitely think THERE'S NO WAY THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS TURN, NO WAY! Had the biggest goose bumps ever. An amazing race. Everyone should experience it at least once
David you do a great job
Yes he does!
Larson's an honest guy, seriously those IndyCar drivers are something different, it's manic out there!
Go Kyle
The thumbnail was Kyle Larson's reaction to meeting David Land.
"It's a Kyle Larson Videoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo🇺🇲🦅🍻🤪
If only I could comment like that....
Well, time for my meds!
Great interview David. Perfect questions.
Went to practice/qual last year. Seeing them going thru turn one when you see the track for the 1st time is insane.
Great interview David! Glad you got this one
AJ, Tony & kyle a few of the true racers in our world!!!
You the man, Kyle! I wish I'd got a chance to run against you in the sprint cars before I retired from racing.
Hope your career in racing was good, Mr
Gator! I'm confident Kyle is living his dream! Just as you once did!
Kyle will go down in history.. he’s mannerisms are so out standing. GO LARSON
This man will always be a dirt racer at heart…. I met him at a local dirt track…. I was a fan before Hendricks motorsports
What Larson is doing, hasn’t been done since Foyt but for now he’s the best. Still young and if he doesn’t wipe-out at Indy May go on to set hundreds of records !
I think Tony Stewart might take exception to that even though AJ is his hero. Smoke ran everything Larson has run and then some, has an IRL championship to go with his three Cup champions, along with the USAC Silver Crown, plus he did the double twice.
@@ljc1224I was gonna say…
David, need more Larson coverage!
Awesome interview! Love Kyle’s honesty and humbleness
Some of these questions were really good. Good stuff from the journalists
Awesome interview. How about doing a Robin Miller life story? Thanks for the great content.
Don’t think many people will watch that
Good luck Kyle, ill be watching
Kyle is just a phenomenon.
The best American racecar driver on the planet
That's a real stretch has he won five championships in a row has he won seven championships has a won 200 NASCAR races in a year I'd say there's a couple other race car drivers on the planet that can top him and his statistics is corn flakes got a little soggy here last Sunday best race car driver on the planet he couldn't beat SVG in Chicago who came to America first race and beat him😂 keep dreaming
@@driverslqqk7940you’re speaking like Shane is just some average level driver and managed to win a cup race in his first try, street courses are his bread and butter, plus he’s been successful in any machinery he’s touched, Open-Wheel, Rally, GT, and Stockcars
@@driverslqqk7940 200 NASCAR races in a year??? Are you fucking hearing yourself???
@@driverslqqk7940200? Are you serious?
AJ and Mario are still alive
Kyle is such a professional. So many dumb questions he doesnt need to answer but yet he makes them all seem important. Back in the day A.J. would say "F#$@ this,I got s#@$ to do"!
They don't call him money for nothing and he gives a good thorough interview.
I'm sure he will learn alot from this and maybe next year he can pull it off to win
Impressed with Kyle at Indy so far! Kinda expected though with such the talent that he is.
Great interview David! Haven't seen you at Meijer in a while!! :-)
Great interview David. Nice shout out to the bus driver. One of the many heroes confidently standing in the shadows cast by their stars spotlight.
While I agree with your sentiment, a bus driver isn't a "hero" simply because they drive a bus.
Unless they pulled over on the way to the speedway to save a family from a burning wreck, you may want to use a more apt description...
One of them, they are many now for sprint car drivers, oval racers and being an American, too. Good drivers.
This guy never looks at the next challenge in racing as surreal. Like mountain climbing, new and different mountain, new adventure.
I want more sprint car drivers race at the Indy 500 and more drivers at all oval tracks and road courses.
Kyle is the man!!!! Let’s go champ!
Parabéns Larson!
I love the Kyle interview. He's hysterical!
I'd love to take a second to warm up but you can't. IVs make me pee??? 😂
It's a Kyle Larson video!
I hope Kyle gets more practice in because it’s really important for him. I can feel a bit of nervousness in his body language and that’s a bit worrisome from my part.
Closes nascar driver to F1 deal was Jeff Gordon
Good job Dave
Goat !
I have been to Indy once years ago with a group of friends in a motorhome. We watched from the grandstand for a while but couldn't see much of the track. Since we had the motorhome parked against the fence we got on top of it to watch. It was so hot we were messing up the roof coating so were ended up inside of it with the a/c on and watched the rest of the race on the tv which was a much better view with the race cars flying by the front not too many feet away. Hey we were they, had a great time but I have no idea now who even won. If Kyle gets some seat time to get the feel of this totally different critter than he has driven before I look for him to finish in the top ten. Of course I want him to win, that would be historical. He can drive anything I just hope he gets enough practice laps in to get the feel of the car in the seat of his pants. Go Kyle go, behind you 100%.
Big Jay signing on
Sprint car drivers, Good you all know Al Unser the best I seen and I seen many.
Go k y l e Larson. Good luck god bless and please be safe
Let's all oval track fans and all fans of Indycar support more sprint cars race at the Indy 500 and all ovals and more. Hear us RP and Indycar help them. They are capable like the drivers before, AU, BU, AJ, MA, JR, EC and many more. It will help Indycar, the Indy 500 and more tracks.
Love Kyle! Let’s Go #17
Best driver ever
SPPPPEEEEEEEEEEDDDD
Kyle is a born racer, put him into any seat and he will be fast right out the gate.
Go get it you can do it you are the best
That kid has a shit ton of talent. Dude can drive anything that goes fast! Great cup driver hands down. Would be fking bad a** if he won this race!
Triple Crown !
I’d like to do LeMans in a real racecar. 😂😂. Gotta love this guy.
Pretty sure a modified Cup car, is a "real" race car. He even explained that he'd prefer to do it in a class that wasn't simply an exhibition...
P.S. If it wasn't a "real" race car, how was it out lapping many of the other REAL race cars at LeMans?
@@codymoe4986 in the lower catagory. And because it wasn’t in a “race” it was driving casual for 24 hours. Super cool parade.
@@codymoe4986 to beat someone you need to compete within their specifications. Just building a car out of spec for any level and acting like it’s an accomplishment is a joke.
My guy is going to win the 500 and 600..
If he does it'll be a moment in history for sure
Not a Hendricks fan or Little Kyle fan. I just think they make Nascar boring. BUT I'm pulling for him here. Get that man a Steak!!! 😂😂😂 🐄
Glad Larson is open when his full time career is coming to a close to jump into a car at Le Mans. I think by that time, he will have the weight an Andretti or Foyt had coming to France for the biggest endurance event in the world.
I think I understand you...
This guy is kool.... reminds me of former National Number One motorcycle racer, Mark Brelsford
Sh---it... once in a lifetime, someone comes along and just throws everything you thought you knew... into chaos. Your looking at that person...in my opinion, thank you.
Take a shot every time Kyle says "You Know"
I alread b dib that Aidan kind wjabd oh yes!
Better than “Let’s Go “
Okay, Mr Perfect....I bet you're fun to live with....
@@roberthevern6169 your mom would know!
@@jerwatson79 aha. We found the thin skinned child. Congrats, you win today's dirty diaper award.
👍👍
I really hope Larson falls in love with IndyCar and Jeff Gordon just adds an IndyCar team for him...I think he'd love running a series with less BS and real cars that aren't totally restricted on horsepower.
IndyCar is a spec series, with a spec chassis, and 2 engine options, both of which are most certainly restricted to a set HP limit.
New Carl Larson fan 👍
Look David this is cool and all but we interviewed Kyle first ❤
"What is your bus drivers name?" I would have loved for him to say "Otto Mann from Springfield, not sure which state."
Hope he does better than the last Nascar driver.
I almost said beating Kurt Busch’s finish would be great but then remembered Jimmie raced INDYCAR, unfortunately that’s how forgettable his stint was.
@@masterdan39 Jimmie was so bad.. and the psychotic hero worship from people like Marshall and other big names was just wtf..
I mean the last driver to do the double finish 6th in the
JJ had one decent race @ Iowa.
@@1320crusierJimmie Johnson sucked in IndyCar and wasn't even good on road courses in NASCAR...what the hell was he thinking switching to a mostly road courses series when he wasn't so good at them!?
is indy aware of how they are seen / not seen outside the US?? great job tho David
I'd be in favor of moving the 500 to the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend instead of Sunday- that way you get two built-in rain days, Sunday and Memorial Day.
I think it should always be Sunday imo
No.
Nah
Indy has always been on Sunday! You wanna move something, move nascar to Saturday. Either way they pull both off with no issues for years!
@@MowersNBlowersNo the 500 hasn't always been on Sunday. Up until 1973, the race was run on Memorial Day itself.
You only see a driver with Larsons talent once in awhile
Often wonder how far Davy Allison would have gone
I don't dislike Larson, props to anyone willing to step into an open wheel car at Indy. That said the hype is over the top, like Danica mania for neckbeards.
IT'S A KYLE LARSON VIDEO
Dixson was very lucky!
Hope Kyle wins, but want him to be safe. Those cars are way faster then what he drives at NASCAR.
👍. truly, an national treasure
07:25 💣
That 2nd reporter lost all credibility when we called it a "Nascar" and not a stock car.
Kyle will win the Indy 500 in 2024.
He’s not nervous at all..
❤❤ cool as a cucumber ❤❤
hope he wins
I was in the infield pitting for the great Gary Patterson the night he died and I seen GP race with A.J. Foyt in and their never been anyone greater until now in my eyes. Do it Larson pull off a GP and win Indy. Shock the world.😀 no
So when i met him his parents were there after I got his autograph i asked his mom and dad for theirs, they asked why i wanted theirs i said because you are his parents
“You know… you know”
NO I DON’T KNOW
Back marker Darrell should wash Larson's car
There’s your winner! He is going to make all those guys look bad
The odds of winning the Indy 500 are crazy. The odds of winning both races on that day are astronomical. Every single driver wants to knock him out of that opportunity. He's got to earn it, and have incredible luck all the way. After the persecution he suffered at the hands of the woke, his comeback has been like a rocket that is still going...
In NASCAR they'd want them to go out and qualify and race with no practice
He should do better than Jimmy! Jimmy set a pretty low bar though.
