Kyle Beard Finishes 5th at Springfield; Cotton Pickin’ 100 Next
Trumann, Arkansas (09/21/16) – Kyle Beard overcame countless adversities on Saturday night to record a Top 5 finish in his #86 Black Diamond/ Kuntz & Co. Racing Engine Super Late Model at Springfield Raceway in MARS action.
“I can’t remember the last time we had this much bad luck in one night,” laughed Beard. “We had a couple of flats and even had to go to the back of the feature after being involved in a caution. Luckily we had a really good car and were able to bounce back to a 5th-place finish.”
On Saturday night Kyle Beard traveled to Springfield Raceway (Springfield, Missouri), where he piloted both his Super Late Model and Open Wheel Modified.
Competing in a field of 29 MARS DIRTcar Series Super Late Models, Beard logged a 7th-place finish in his heat after suffering a flat left-rear tire. After gaining eight positions in his B-Main, Kyle fell back to an 8th-place outing after losing yet another tire, while running 2nd. Earning a spot in the main event through a provisional, Beard would have to persevere through more challenges. After advancing several spots early in the feature he was involved in a caution, which sent him to the tail. He would rebound to ultimately storm through the field 19 positions, posting a 5th-place finish behind Jesse Stovall, Brad Looney, Justin Asplin, and Scott Crigler.
Following a heat race win from the 6th-starting position, Kyle rolled off from the pole for the Modified feature. Landing a podium spot, Beard notched a 3rd-place finish behind Jackie Dalton and Jody Tillman with Johnny Bone Jr. and Dean Wille rounding out the Top 5.
Full results from these events are available at www.MARSRacingSeries.com and www.SpringfieldRaceway.com .
The upcoming weekend will find Kyle Beard making the trek to Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) to compete in the annual Magnolia State Cotton Pickin’ 100. The mega-event is highlighted by a $20,000-to-win, $1,200-to-start, 100 lap finale. For more information on the event, please visit www.MagnoliaDirt.com .
