Rico caused a caution so he should go to the rear. Kyle, regardless of his position as series sponsor/administrator, becomes a competitor when he gets behind the wheel and should be treated as any other. He stopped on the track, restarted and should go to the rear. 39 won that heat.

That's one of the stupidest thing I've ever seen in racing! Who cares if he is part owner of the series! When you are a driver he shouldn't be making officials calls from the driver seat , especially when in a good one for your best friend! Lots alot of respect!
KL has got to know, when he is in the seat, he doesnt make rulings...dont care what he saw or thinks...The series will collapse if competitors think he is going to put his finger on the scale every time he wants to. He needs car counts, and before you make that long tow, you have to know you are going to get a fair shake. Nice job 39 team!
At the very least it really took a lot for both Brad and Kyle to come talk to you about it, I've been around a lot of tracks and sanctioning bodies that will blow a call or fluff it for the favorite and then act like nothing happened, or even kick people out for questioning calls. Still a bad fucking call, but at least they owned it.

Oh brad and Kyle fluffed it for their buddy Rico. They just got caught.
I love the insight you give us fans with setup talk etc. Appreciate the videos keep them coming!
I'm just glad he didn't flip after that initial contact in the feature. There is a nice big crease in the cage tubing on the left side.
The production of your videos are really good!
I’ve been missing your content over the last month hope to see more soon.
I always loved it as a half mile Kevin your dad won alot of races there, I remember when Buckwheat went outta turn 1 and literally destroyed that car. We ran sprints and late models on the half. The shorter track isn't as hard on motors but you can still destroy a car. You guys always look fast bud I wish I was 40 again to keep turning wrenches and doing setups. I love seeing the winged sprints at tri city along with the modified mania they have. 🇺🇸🏁🤙
I love al of your uploads

This is as basic as sprint car racing. You caused the yellow; you go to rear: there is not a blending rule. When Larson stopped under yellow, he would restart at the rear. The rule about yellow flag would not have to be ‘thought out’. Both 24 and 57 would be sent to the rear! Larson did not stop because of Safety reason such as seat belts unlatched!

What’s fucked is sanders didn’t get to draw for a spot in the dash started 9th complete bullshit
That was a bad call all around. Rico brought out caution and Kyle stopped on track. Both should of went to tail. You cant change rules in middle of the race.
Great show as always.Lot of talent out there.Now Kyle knows better than to stop on the racetrack,you keep rolling ,hold your position,and wait for the Green Flag.Kyle wouldn't do something like that on purpose,but he did it and the official should have taken a moment,thought it over,discussed it with the person in charge and then make a decision,but he didn't.
If Kyle Larson is going to race a sprint car in the series, he needs to shut his yap. He’s a driver he’s not an official that was absolutely wrong for him to say anything especially to come to us to a stop and talk to an official is absolutely wrong. They better get this shit straightened out really quick if they want a successful series.
Thats why you run till the yellow light comes on. Kyle and Justin never lifted. And Rico about collected both, therefore a caution was thrown and Rico was the cause. Mistake or not he was the cause. Also I seen Ricos Trailer kinda calling out the "fans". Everyones ire was directed at the call not directly Rico. Was gonna get all 3 kids diecast cars and Rico was gonna be 1. Not now after the "fans" thing.
This is why promoters should promote and not race.
I dont understand it but I FUCKING LOVE that you guys talk about set up and car attitude; it great behind the scenes.
Thank you for these videos. I am sure there are times that it is hard to post these, especially when you have a mediocre night BUT it makes me appreciate your effort all the more. Racing is f'n hard work and videos like this one remind of that fact and my own experiences long ago. Seems like you guys are making good inroads and I look forward to seeing a fast SpeedLabs car at the next High Limits Race. And hopefully, less operational promoter drama.

Such a shitty call.. I was screaming at the TV. Had a buddy over watching his 2nd sprint race…. Couldn’t explain it to him lol
Hey Boys, I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now down here in Oz and I know this may sound funny/weird but it’s like I know you guys but I don’t…. I was watching this live on Flo and yeah there was a F up with the stewards but it happens and Rico should of been put to the rear and it was the WoO he would of been!. Glad to see you in the dash and good finish, it’s only a matter of time and you’ll get a feature win!! Keep digging boys!.
Rico caused the caution, to the tail you go.
Great job thanks for posting
Mistakes are mistakes.. but if u been racing any longer then 3 days… u race to the checkered…to bad if u eff up… thats on u.
The blend rule is how you get guys spinning like tornados in the middle of the track and tearing others shit up. If the cautions for you you should go to the back.
Good to see Justin on the national stage he deserves it!
i think Kyle is finding out it is not a good idea to race in your own series. If he wins, the other racers will think he cheated. And you cannot officiate while driving. Not workable
They made the right call on Rico. The flagman screwed up, not Rico. If that was the 39 leading and slowing y'all would see this differently.
@RegularJoes

The video clearly shows the white flag out, not the checkered. A common mistake by drivers and Rico made it too. Rico to the rear. Kyle to the rear for stopping on track not for a safety reason. And I'm not a fan of Sanders
I freakin love Larson .... but ..... would rather him stay out of on track stuff (if and when he is racing) I get it but Rico messed up but thats on him , kind of a free hand out. FYI love the decals ... looks sick. Keep pushin.
DYLON GETTIN SWOLE
rico got bailed out. can’t dwell on it, just hope it doesn’t happen again. hearing the official say he should’ve put rico in 2nd is just mind boggling, especially after the “57-39-24” call
Kyle stopping proves that the series isn't legitimate nor fair. Obviously the rules do not apply to Kyle & his friends. If they do this out in the open for everyone to see what are they doing behind the scenes with tire doping, traction control or other car rules? I DO NOT trust that the High Limit series rules are they same for everyone now. To be honest, I didn't before either but we all the saw the proof. A scheme for the rich to get richer is a fair argument in court

2 Mistakes were made 1 by Rico and 1 by the officials. however, they did try to make it right by putting you I the Dash.
Don't agree with that call at all. You race / keep speed until the yellows come on after the checker in Australia and I believe same applies in the US. Rico should of been ROF.
Larson should have gone to the back for stopping on the track.

100% yes
Who's the guy in the wheelchair?
Just my opinion, but thought Sanders should have been on the cushion and trying to rip the lip instead of running the bottom.
Kevin should be pissed. Such a bad look for the high limit series
Kyle saved his buddy.
16:10 100% Justin's fault there. I know its hard to see & pulling tear offs and all that but must always control your car & stay in your lane. That really stinks cuz I love this channel, Justin & Swindell Team. Its racing tho & accidents happen but for sure Justin's fault.
I know guys who would've loaded up and left and not come back to their event. Whether or not they were points racing or even in top 3 in points.
Nascar.....does not define holier than thou . Larson shoulda went to the back of the bus
Definitely a f'd up situation. In my opinion whats even more f'd is Brad Sweet arguably one of the best sprint drivers in the nation is at the track and not allowed to race
Kyle and Rico should have been put to the rear, it was BS all the way around, I gained a ton of respect for Brad Sweet for admitting it was a chicken S h i t call
I am a huge Kyle Larson but seeing him officiate from the seat wasn't and he knows it.
Mistake or not, mistakes cost any team, player, and drive a win, this mistake by Rico shouldn’t have gotten him a win unless it came from the rear of the field with 1 to go.
If Kyle is going to race he needs to stay out of the race day decisions. If Kyle wants to be race director he needs to get out of the seat.Rico should have gone to the tail, what a way to screw over the field. Lost a lot of respect for this series.
I don't get it. Why are people so upset with Kyle and Brad and Tommy Estes? Mistakes are made. That was a baby mistake. What about Buddy Kofoid? Why aren't people mad at him? Quitting Crouch Racing has to be the biggest mistake of the season.

This incident was an awful look for the High Limit series. At the very least Rico should've blended and Larson to the rear. Not because I'm a hater but those are the rules. That is unless you stop on the frontstretch and make rules on the fly. Also nobody is talking about the shitty restart after. What the hell was that??

Doesn’t matter if it happens again. Rico’s night was saved and instead of being in the B Main where he should have been he winds up in the Dash. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the monetary affect this has on both this nights events and the seasons points. IMO, it’s borderline criminal to do what Larson did with this being a sanctioned event for money.

And for the record Rico would've been blended at worst 5th, at best 2nd with the blend rule, so he still would've qualified, not that it matters. Justin didn't get to draw for a spot, but was still in the dash for the laps and the opportunity to move forward. It wasn't an ideal situation, but saying it's borderline criminal is delusional.
