Kyle Wins Las Vegas 1/4 Mile Feature!
Kyle led all 20 laps at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway 1/4 Mile Track to score his first feature win.
The field of 13 Bandos was divided into two heats. Kyle's heat consisted of 8 cars, 7 cars in the other heat. Starting position for
the heat was determined by draw. Finishing position in the heat determined starting position in the main.
Kyle started in the 6th position. On the second lap he was passing on the inside for the lead when the other car forced him
down. When his left wheels touched the grass, around he went sending him to the back of the field.
He drove his way back to the lead winning the heat race.
Starting on the pole Kyle jumped out to an early lead. After the midway point the #98 car of Jackson Smith challenged on
several occasions and passed Kyle at one time, but it was short lived as Jackson spun after completing the pass, bringing out
the yellow flag. The final two laps were exciting as the 01 car of Nicholas Thigpen dover under Kyle entering turn 1 and cleared
him. Kyle had a run out of turn 2 and passing Nicholas underneath. They drove the entire next lap side by side as the white flag
waved. Nicholas got loose out of turn 2 and Kyle was able to stretch a 2 car length lead and hold on for the win.

February 14-15 2009
The last two road course races made for an interesting weekend filled with drama!
On Saturday Kyle started up front in the heat and spun while leading. The result
was a mid pack start in the main. He drove hard and finished second while Mike
Hiliker, his competition for the title, also spun and finished further back. After the
dust settled, no pun intended, Kyle held a 2 point lead for the Championship. On
Sunday the three top cars started the heat toward the rear. Kyle Started the main
from the fourth spot. After an awesome start Kyle took the lead on lap 2, just in
time to spin on lap 3 with Smith and Hiliker in hot pursuit. A full course caution put
Kyle to the back of the field while Hiliker was running second behind Jackson
Smith. Kyle restarted 13th, if the front runners stayed the same Kyle had to reach
3rd with 7 laps left to win the title.
With one lap left Kyle pulled into the third spot to capture the Championship!
Jackson Smith overcame his troubles from earlier in the series for the race win,
with Mike Hiliker second.
It was a great series with lots of good clean racing!

Kyle's luck ran out on Friday night when Aaron Anderson spun in front of him. With
nowhere to go Kyle and Aaron were sidelined for the main. With a 13th. Place
finish (DNF) that all but wiped out our chances in the Havasu and River Cup points
races. The crash necessitated repairs that were completed with the rising or the
sun on Saturday.

This was a good night! Qualifying 2nd and starting on the front row allowed Kyle to
take the lead on the first lap and lead wire-to-wire in a caution free Feature. Kyle's
car was fast in the dash and the main being the only car to dip into the 16 second
zone!

Another good run! Kyle won the trophy dash. Another fast car but a second place
finish. A little luck kept Kyle from t-boning Alex Morgan when he spun on the third
lap. The good news is Kyle and Alex spun with no contact but Breanna Nelson
collected the wall attempting to miss them. With Kyle and Alex re-starting in the
back, Tommy Kelley was gone by the time Kyle moved to second, where he
finished.

April 25, 2009-Havasu 95 - Feature Win!
The main event was a dogfight for the first few laps! The initial start began with a
turf war between Shelby Orozco and Kyle Niquette on the front row. Shelby wanted
to keep Kyle up high on the track, while Kyle was determined to hold his ground.
They were banging on each other before the pace car even left the track. On the
initial start Alex dove under Shelby and Kyle, while Tommy was swinging to the
high side resulting in 4 wide down the front stretch. Just as things were starting to
sort out Tommy spun bringing out the caution and a complete re-start.
The re-start saw more contact between Shelby and Kyle on the front row. It was
an exciting run to the first turn with Kyle emerging out front in the first turn, while
Tommy, Shelby and Tommy ran three wide for several laps! Kyle checked out
while the pecking order was established. It was amazing that there was no
accidents or cautions throughout the start, as well as the entire Main Event.
