Lonnie Wheatley, NIXA, Mo. (October 15, 2015) – After a pair of idle weekends to refresh, Nixa, MO, racer Kyle Bellm is ready to finish off his maiden voyage with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour aboard the PPG Automotive Finishes/Colorvision No. 14k Sprint Car.
The final pair of events of the season for the series’ leading Rookie of the Year contender begins with this weekend’s Devil’s Bowl Speedway Winter Nationals in Mesquite, TX, on Friday and Saturday before wrapping up with I-30 Speedway’s “Short Track Nationals” in Little Rock, AR, on October 28-31.
“I’m excited to get back going,” Bellm says. “We’re looking forward to a strong finish.”
It’s a season that has Bellm ranked seventh in ASCS National Tour points with several podium finishes along the way.
And now the driver of the Schure Built Suspensions/Christian County Collision Repair machine takes to a pair of tracks at which he has enjoyed success.
Devil’s Bowl Speedway is the site of Bellm’s first ASCS National Tour triumph during the Spring Nationals of 2013. And his lone start of the year atop I-30 Speedway’s high-banked, ¼-mile clay oval aboard the Bybee Lawn Care/Dynotech Racing Engines machine resulted in a podium finish.
The ingredients are in place for Bellm to finish strong in the Scheaffer’s Oil entry.
“We had good speed in the last race at Wheatland, that should give us some good momentum going into Devil’s Bowl this weekend,” Bellm explains.
The half-mile of dark clay in Mesquite, TX, can be fickle at times, but Bellm knows the key.
“If we get a good pill draw, we’ll be really good,” Bellm says.
In command of leading Rookie of the Year honors with the ASCS National Tour, Bellm still has a chance to climb another rung on the ASCS National points ladder to sixth over the next pair of events. And it begins with this weekend’s Devil’s Bowl Winter Nationals.
