5/24/12- It was a great night of ASCS National Tour/Warrior Region racing for Kyle last night at Valley Speedway in the Jerry and Jeff Smith Racing #86. Kyle started 6th in his heat and had a great start and was in 3rd by the end of the first lap. The rest of the heat race he battled hard with Jonathan Cornell for 2nd trying to pick up one more spot but ran out of time forcing him to settle for 3rd. With enough passing points, Kyle was in the redraw and drew the pole position for the 30 lap A-Main event. Kyle got out front and got the early lead and was looking strong but it just wasn’t enough as Tony Bruce Jr. and Brian Brown got around him after the first 3 laps. A couple of close calls with lap cars caused him to lose a few positions during the race but Kyle managed to fight back for a well deserved 3rd place finish, marking a career best finish with the National Tour and putting him only one point out of the Warrior Region points lead. Kyle would like to thank Jerry and Jeff Smith for letting him race their car, his parents for all their support, his fans, and all of his wonderful sponsors who make this all possible: Jeff Smith Racing Engines, Christian County Collision Repair, Tiger Towing, Schure Built Suspensions, Albright Heating and Air, ColorVision, and PPG.

5/26/12 – LA Raceway, La Monte, MO (ASCS WARRIOR REGION)

5/9/2012 - There were 29 cars that competed last Friday night in the Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region match up at Sapulpa, Oklahoma’s Creek County Speedway.  Kyle started 3rd in his heat race and finished 2nd, which gave him an A Feature starting position of 8th.  He made a few early passes on the small ¼ mile and finished in a hard fought 7th place with a bent front axle that occured in a late race collision with Jonathan Beason.

Saturday evening Kyle raced the Smith Racing #86 in the second ASCS Warrior Region competition at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri. Kyle started 4th in his heat race and finished 3rd.  With minimal passing points that placed him on the pole for the second B Feature.  He wheeled the #86 to an easy first place finish which transferred him to a 16th starting position in the 25 lap A-Main.  He put on a good show for the fans in the A, steadily moving forward through the field and picking up an impressive 5th place finish to mark his 2nd top 5 in 2 Warrior Region races.  Kyle is currently 3rd in Warrior points, only 10 points out of the lead!

This Friday and Saturday night Kyle is looking forward to competing with the ASCS National Tour in the Kyle Bellm Racing #14k at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Arkansas. 

5/1/12- There were 34 cars that competed last Friday night at the ASCS National Tour race at the Salina Highbanks Speedway. Kyle started 2nd in his heat race outside of Danny “The Dude” Lasoski and finished 2nd. In the feature Kyle started 12th and finished 12th in a very stacked field of cars managing to hold on to a very free race car despite a tangle with Sean McClelland early in the race when his motor blew.

This Friday Kyle will head to Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, OK to compete with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region and look to pick up his first Sooner Region win. On Saturday, with hopes to finish what he started last year when he lead nearly all 25 laps of the A-Feature before running out of fuel,  Kyle will strap back in the the Smith Racing #86 for an ASCS Warrior Region race at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO.

4/25/12- Kyle raced at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, AR this past Saturday. The night appeared to start out well with Kyle easily winning his heat race but even with the victory, Kyle said the car did not feel comfortable. Some changes were made for the feature and Kyle went out ready to charge to the front from his 5th place starting position. As the green flag flew Kyle knew something was wrong and was struggling with forward and side bite. Despite that Kyle still managed a hard fought 9th place finish against a tough field.

On Sunday we tore the car down to check everything out and sent the torsion bars and shocks to Schure Built Suspension to get checked over. We found an issue with the front axel and also found we had 2 bad torsion bars and a blown LF shock. All these issues will be corrected this week in time to head to Oklahoma this Friday to race the Salina High Banks with the ASCS National tour. We’re hoping for some better luck!
