Re: Kokomo ISW
What really isn't being mentioned is what put Kyle in a position to challenge for the win. His qualification run. It was late in the session and times were starting to slow down some. Clauson went out a few before him and was second quick, but that's Bryan Clauson, one of the great qualifiers in USAC history. And one who has won at Kokomo many times. Kyle rolled out last and laid down a lap that didn't really look all that smooth, he was sideways quite a bit and when the time was announced, he had replaced BC in the runnerup position. There were quite a few people around the pit grandstand, where I was standing who's basic reaction to that lap was "Wow!" They knew they had just seen a driver go out there, lay it on the line in a big way and deliver when he needed to.
