The name Kyle Larson might not be well known in the drift crowd, but maybe it should be.

Today Larson is a rising star in the NASCAR Sprint Cup, but back in 2011 he was establishing his reputation as a dirt track prodigy. Larson was 19 here in this sprint car video put up by Ross Wece.

Not only was Larson sideways, he was fast. He qualified fourth with this run and went on to win the race.
