07.30.22 LANGLEY SPEEDWAY RECAP:
Qualified: 8th
Race 1: 10th
Race 2: 4th
The KFR team went into race day on Saturday, hoping that all bad luck would be worked out and the team was beyond ready for things to simply just go right at the track. From motor issues to electrical issues, it felt like if it could go wrong, it was going to go wrong for KFR. When Kyle was asked his thoughts on the season so far, "Honestly, it has not started the way we hoped or even planned but that's racing. I'm thankful to have the team and partners behind me that make giving up impossible. We have taken every obstacle thrown at us and worked harder to overcome it." It was this mentality that lead his team to thru yet again another troublesome night at the track.
Practice showed that the team was in the right direction and the driver backed it up at qualifying. Starting race one in 8th, Kyle would have thirty laps to work his way to the front. Ultimately, he would not find his way to the front due to the hub assembly coming apart and bad luck showing up, again. The team quickly got to work assessing the damages and coming up with a plan to get it fixed to avoid missing the next race.
Race two would be a shake up with a top 8 invert, KFR would start p10 and unable to take the cone the entire race due to not completing the required number of laps in the first race. This penalty would mean that the driver would have to charge hard to make every lap count to get through the field. That's exactly what Kyle did, finishing the race in 4th place. Bringing home the first top 5 of the season, and what we all hope is the beginning of a new chapter for this team.
