Beard banks $5,000 Comp Cams victory at Rocket Raceway Park
Kyle Beard picked up his third win of the 2023 season on Saturday night in his Gary Beard Trucking No. 86 Mann Motorsports / Black Diamond Race Cars / Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.
The $5,000 COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) victory was claimed at Rocket Raceway Park.
"I was nervous earlier when we first got here (Rocket Raceway Park), because I didn’t know if this place would be my style or not, but it all worked out. I felt like my car was getting a little faster as we was going one (in the feature)," Beard said in Victory Lane. "I was waiting for Cade (Dillard) or somebody to come blow by me, but I guess it all worked out."
Friday night saw Kyle Beard return with the Comp Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) at 67 Speedway of Texarkana (Texarkana, Ark.) for the $5,000-to-win weekend opener.
In a field of 32 Late Models, Beard’s second-place performance in his heat race positioned him on the third row the feature. Moving forward two spots in the 30-lap affair, Kyle raced to a third-place finish, which came behind Kyle Beard and Timothy Culp.
Drawing 32 cars to Rocket Raceway Park (Petty, Texas) on Saturday, Kyle clocked in third-fastest in his group before placing second in his heat. Tracking down early race leader Billy Moyer Jr. on the 17th circuit of the feature, Beard ran away with his third win of the season and 24th career CCSDS triumph. He bagged a $5,000 payday ahead of Cade Dillard, Timothy Culp, Kip Hughes, and Moyer Jr.
