Kyle Hammer
Top-five finish with MARS Championship Series at Highland
For a pair of events with the MARS Championship Series, Kyle Hammer and Brent McKinnon Racing invaded Tri-City Speedway (Granite City, Ill.) on Friday evening for the Gary Gerstner Memorial.
Starting the opening night feature in 14th via a fifth-place run in his heat, Hammer muscled forward three spots in the 30-lapper to place 11th.
In a field of 29 MARS entries on Saturday at Highland Speedway (Highland, Ill.), Kyle squeezed into the $5,000-to-win A-Main with a fourth-place finish in his heat. Wheeling his way into the top-five, Hammer passed seven cars in the 40-lap affair to register a fifth-place finish. He trailed Jason Feger, Bob Gardner, Mike Harrison, and Cody Laney in the final rundown.
