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.
