- Interstate Batteries High Limit Sprint Car Series teams were in action Wednesday night at Wisconsin’s Red Cedar Speedway.  What followed was a stomping rarely seen in the series.

Kyle Larson took the lead at the start and proceeded to run off and hide. At one point, he had a legitimate 10-second lead (at a track where  laps during the race were around 14 seconds) and lapped up to eighth.

A late caution set up a six-lap sprint to the finish. No one could prevent Larson from taking his fourth win of the year.

Larson won by 3.411 seconds over Brent Marks. Tyler Courtney was third, then Justin Peck and Tanner Thorson.

Rico Abreu finished seventh and takes the points lead by just one point over Aaron Reutzel, who cut a tire early and recovered to a lap down in 11th. Giovanni Scelzi is third, then Thorson and Courtney. 

"I think it’s just the first time that any of us has been really put in this position to lose a current driver that is racing with you each and every weekend right now. We all felt a major loss when Greg Biffle passed away, but he wasn’t in the garage every week. To have somebody like that, you’re talking on the driver intro stage, or the week before we talked for 30 minutes at the Dover airport after the All-Star Race about old times, about energy drinks, about what the sport’s going to look like in seven or eight years, how the cars are driving. I mean, we talked about anything and everything, about Brexton racing, and so it hit us all hard." - Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on the overall state of mind in NASCAR after Kyle Busch's death.
