Some highlights of the past few years…

2007
Kyle moved back to Indiana to give it a shot with USAC Non-Wing Racing. Things fell apart with his ride soon after the move back east. Kyle has since joined up with Harley VanDyke. Right out of the gate, they won West Coast's most prestigious 360 Race, the 3000.00 "Family Chevrolet Tribute to Al Hinds" at Placerville Speedway. He is looking forward to finishing out the year strong getting as many races as possible both in 360 and 410 while working toward his goal of going USAC Non-Wing Racing.

2006
After a great 2005 season Kyle teamed up with Dennis Wright and put a team together to take on the 2006 season. Kyle won the Mark Forni Memorial $5,000 to win at Placerville Speedway and prelim night at the 360 Fall Nationals at Silver Dollar Speedway for the 2nd year in a row. He also got to spread his wings and run both 360 and 410 non-wing on the west coast with a 8th place finish his first time at Perris Auto Speedway.

2005
After a great rookie year Kyle and his parents decided to take on the Golden State Challenge series. Kyle captured his first ever Golden State victory at Santa Maria Speedway.
