Congratulations, Kyle! You are a natural in any racecar. I believe this was Kyles first time in a midget, and also in an open wheel car on asphalt. Job well done!

Any owner would be fortunate to have Kyle behind the wheel!

Best of luck to you, Kyle! You're a first class driver :thumb

Way to go Kyle! :applaud:Keep that hammer down! :thumb

:moon:How much is this gonna cost???? If it cost him as much as it did the first time, he could BUY his own midget!!! I guess the people that own the team need more money for this racing season? If you look at all the names of the drivers that participated in this "driver search", the team is BANKING!!!! Well i guess who ever gets the ride will have plenty of money from the other poor saps that think they have a shot a getting the ride. Im sure the drivers they had last year will be in the cars this year. What a way to fund their drivers! RIP OFF!

The drivers from last year will not be in the cars. That I will attest to but that is it.

Exposure cant be a bad thing. Perhaps his curiosity of running a midget on pavement was a personal goal. All the drivers signed up knowing what benefits they might reap. Whatever their reasons, I am sure they weighed in the financial factor, and what they may gain personally from the experience.

There is good and bad to this. Good he got the shot. Bad, he may not be at Haubstadt as much this year. He is a show unto himself. Go get'em kid!:thumb

Way to go Kyle. You will represent the state of Indiana well against those west coast guys. According to the press release there were 10 drivers invited back to compete for the ride. Second trip is all expenses paid. Good Luck!!!!!

Best of luck Kyle! :thumb
