Larson started sixth and won the 30-lap feature over Tanner Thorson. NASCAR Cup driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished third.
Larson now has won the past six feature races he’s started, including a sweep of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car weekend at Knoxville Raceway last weekend.

“I’ve been waiting a long to come here to Paragon to get my chance to race,” Larson said after winning in his track debut, according to Richie Murray of USACRacing.com. “I’m glad I could add my name to the winner’s list here.”
The victory came in the opener of the 16th annual Indiana Midget Week, which will continue tonight at Gas City I-69 Speedway.
With his 20th career USAC National Midget Series victory, Larson tied the legendary A.J. Foyt on the all-time win list.
