Kyle Larson scored his first NASCAR win in the Slack's Auto Parts 150 at Gresham in Jefferson, Ga. Kyle is an ace open wheel cat who has built on last year's incredible year to again be one of the winningest drivers in racing. Another former sprint car driver Cale Conley set fast time and led 145 of 150 laps before Larson passed him on the last restart with 5 to go. It was a proud day for those of us who love our open wheel racing. As a side note, this was my first visit to Gresham after it was re-done from the old Jeffco/Georgia International/Peach State Speedway, when my team raced there. The Gresham's and Dan Elliott and Co. have turned that place into one of the finest short tracks I have ever been to.

Congrats to Kyle Larson and congrats to Dan Elliott and the Greshams for turning the old Jeffco track into a showplace and providing great local short track racing. Need more of these places.
