Kyle Larson of Elk Grove, Calif., continued his dominance of the High Limit Sprint Car Series on Tuesday at Eagle (Neb.) Raceway, overpowering his nearest competitors once again for a third straight victory on the tour worth $28,023.

For the second straight week, it was Rico Abreu of St. Helena, Calif., that stood as Larson's greatest challenger. Abreu led the opening 18 laps and finished on the losing end of a thrilling head-to-head battle in the final laps that riveted Eagle's packed house. Abreu finished 0.489 of a second behind Larson at the checkers, while 17th-starting Giovanni Scelzi of of Fresno, Calif., delivered an all California podium.

Larson led the final 14 laps, assuming control when mid-race leader Brent Marks stunningly flipped after catching a rut in the curb-building racing surface through turns one and two. It's the second race in a row Marks, who led laps 18 through 26, wrecked while either in the lead or making a move for the lead.

Buddy Kofoid of Penngrove, Calif., the night's overall fast qualifier, finished fourth and Anthony Macri of Dillsburg, Pa., the fastest qualifier in Group B, finished fifth. Kofoid, Dusty Zomer of Brandon, S.D.; Macri and Tyler Courtney of Indianapolis, Ind., won the heats while Abreu won the dash.

Kasey Kahne, Jake Swanson and Carson McCarl were among drivers that failed to qualify for Tuesday's 40-lap main event.

Winning Quote From Kyle Larson

“I hope you fans enjoyed that. (Eagle owner) Roger Haden, they did a great job. I was worried when we saw it so fast in the heat races. But, man, that track was great. Thanks to everybody at Eagle Raceway; everybody in the pits, everybody in the stands to get back here and watch some 410s. I'm glad Rico and I could put on a show."
