Kyle Larson thrills fans with last lap pass after spinning through the infield (Video)

Well, this is one you have to watch…

On Friday night, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series unloaded for another weekend at the races. This time, the national sprint car tour landed at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Watch the River Cities Speedway video below.

Kyle Larson would start the feature from the 2nd position. David Gravel took the pole.

Larson jumped out to the early lead. On a restart, Gravel took a shot at Larson and he instead lost 2nd in the process as Logano Schuchart moved to 2nd.

He quickly opened the gap. Larson looked to be heading to an easy victory.

With just 5 laps to go, Larson worked heavy lap traffic. Ahead of the leader, lap cars run both the top and bottom lanes on the narrow race track. Larson needed a hole.

Larson spins through the infield

With four to go, Larson and Schuchart both went for the bottom and the leaders continued to be held up by lap traffic. In the process, Schuchart clipped the rear bumper of Larson.

The race leader was sent sideways through the infield. He stepped on the gas anyway and threaded his car between a tire barrier and ATV. No caution.

Schuchart led by Larson was out of the infield and coming quick.

With 2 to go, Larson kicked it to the cushion and found a new line. At this point, Schuchart led by 10 car lengths, just short of the white flag.

Final lap, Larson nailed the exit of turn four and the entry to turn one. He closed the gap to just three car lengths on Schuchart.

Heading into turn three for the final time, Schuchart elected to run the bottom but a lap car did the same. Larson stuck with his newfound lane, he nailed the cushion and throttled up the 410 sprint car.

Schiuchart slid off the bottom and to the top as they exited turn four for the final time. Larson already had the momentum, he cut it off the cushion, cut to the bottom and drove right by Schuchart just a few hundred feet short of the finish.

As they should, the crowd absolutely erupted in North Dakota. Watch the video highlights below.
