Kyle Larson can't leave good enough alone. After winning his second NASCAR Monster Energy Cup race of the 2017 season on Sunday at Michigan Speedway, he grabbed the trophies on nights three and four of the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions (ASCoC) Ohio Sprint Speedweek.

These wins came one week after he captured his first World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory of the season at Eagle Raceway in Eagle, NE, on June 13. That win was also the first World of Outlaws for owner and fellow NASCAR Cup driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in a car that paid tribute to Bryan Clauson, who died last August from injuries he suffered in a race accident.

On Monday night, Larson advanced from eighth position to the lead by lap 13 at Wayne County Speedway in Orrville, Ohio. He took the lead from West Virginia's Cale Conley. This was his fifth career victory in the ASCoC competition and second at the track.

Fellow NASCAR veteran Kasey Kahne and Chad Kemenah found themselves rounding out the podium when Tim Shaffer and Caleb Helms made contact while racing for second with less than two laps remaining.

"I got to traffic, and I started to worry a little bit," Larson said. "I thought I saw the guys racing behind me creep up on my inside a little bit. I saw a 4 and 10 on the scoreboard, and I thought Kasey and Chad both started pretty far back, so I knew they had to be pretty good. Luckily, we hung on those last few laps and got the win."

His second sprint car victory of the series came Tuesday night at Sharon (Ohio) Speedway when he started sixth and moved past leader Rico Abreu on lap four. Larson kept his lead through traffic and takeover attempts by Abreu and Carson Macedo. This was Larson's sixth ASCoC career win.

The only caution came on lap 22. Larson was able to hold his lead on the restart and propel himself to a two-second advantage. Macedo made one late lap attempt to pass, but Larson crossed the finish line 1.25 seconds ahead of him and the rest of the field.

This was also Larson's 10th win of 2017, a feat that he hasn't accomplished in a several years.

The Arctic Cat All Stars raced Waynesfield (Ohio) Raceway Park on Wednesday night, and Shaffer got his revenge by winning over series regular Danny Dietrich. Larson was not in attendance.
