Kyle Larson pays gratitude to his midget car owner and builder: "Huge thank you to Paul Silva"

After bagging the biggest payday in Australian sprint car history last month, Kyle Larson continued to show his dominance in the dirt track world by lifting his third Golden Driller trophy, driving the #1K for Silva Motorsports.

Speaking to Floracing in the post-race interaction, Larson gave a special mention to his car owner and builder, Paul Silva, for helping him achieve this coveted trophy at the 'Super Bowl of midget racing.'

"Yeah, it was really cool, and huge thank you to Paul Silva, because we were really bad on Monday, and he went to work and he got us better and got me more comfortable and I think the track too, you know, opening up and running about the cushion kind of played into my hand a little bit," Larson said.

The No. 5 Chevrolet driver, Kyle Larson, will now head to the season-opener race at Daytona Beach, Florida for a chance to kickstart his 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season with a win at the esteemed Daytona 500 race.
