DNF at Lincoln and 19th at Big Diamond in PA Speedweeks so far. Didn't look so good last night. Seems like he's having trouble keeping up with the PA boys. Grandview won't be any easier Tuesday night. Just sayin'.

I'm sure that's it. What a bum. At least the NASCAR teams are being shown where the real talent is. Can't wait to see the PA guys racing in Cup soon.

It was a new car, the bugs were not worked all the way out of it yet, as you saw the car was not working correctly. Give it a race or two to work out all the bugs. Yeah, after the first spin, he tried too hard, which lead the to other spins. Why was the track reworked right before the main? That only makes the track one groove in the main. Did it help, or was the track still garbage half way through?

Whew... you had me scared. "Isn't doing well" would be more accurate than "Not showing up"

A few weeks ago, there where a bunch of post warning Central Pa " Kyle is Coming" ... "Look out Central Pa"!!!! he gets hear, and shows everyone, he is no different than any other driver on the track!!!
He still puts his uniform on one leg at a time!!!! He could still spin out!!!, he still could run up over someone and flip!!!!!
Thing id there are a few people you can't talk bad about on hear, I guess kyle is one of them!!!!

Show me specifically where anyone said exactly this " Kyle is Coming" ... "Look out Central Pa". You can infer whatever you want but that doesn't make it true gospel ya know...
Cheers!

As a Pa. Posse sprint car fan , I am very thankful for Kyle and his team taking the time to come to central Pa. and support the Speedweek Series. The kid just competed in the Ohio Speedweek Series, the Truck race at Kentucky and now comes all the way east to compete against the posse at 7 different tracks in 8 nights of racing..I am sure he has read and watched highlights of how tough the weekly competition is here in Pa. and more than anyone wants to have an impressive showing ! No matter what his final results are here in Pa this week, I applaud him (and all the drivers ) for making the effort and making that 20 dollar a night entance fee to get in alot more worth it !!!.......Daniel A. Coleman Jr.

For his first ever visit to PA to tracks he's never watched racing at in person let alone raced at with what now amounts to a newly assembled car with a non wing crew, I'd say he's doing fairly well considering. Nobody but a moron would think he would show up and "dominate" anywhere least of all in PA where the competition is good and depth of cars is large. He is learning though and if you've followed his career at all it doesn't take him too many times anywhere to figure it out. I say just enjoy the show and let the chips fall where they may. He can still surprise you as he is not done racing in PA just yet.
Cheers!

Yep! Is it the same car he drove in Ohio Speedweek? Looking at his website, looks like he won features consecutively in midgets, non-wing & 2 winged 410s.
We'll see... thats why they run the races, no?

thanks for the "intelligent" post here Jeff. most of the pa guys are, well, you know!
the kid is the real deal and really doesn't need pennsylvania to prove himself. he loves racing of all kinds, it shows..
Ascot was the greatest of all time..
West Capital wasn't half bad either..
Life is good...

I'm a Posse fan but a win for Kyle in Pa. would shut up a lot of people. Gotta respect the talent... I hated Larry Bird till the day he retired, then as a guy who loves basketball, how can you not love Bird?

I agree, but those goofs who said Pa Guys can't win out of our home state. Now know what it's like to see someone you know does well not fair to well away from home. All these other Posse Blow holes do is make the rest of us Pennsylvanians look bad. We're not all that way. Hope the rest of the week goes better for them. Glad I am getting the chance to see this kid race. Now if only Rico Abreu would come east I'd be a happy camper.

Rico might be there, somewhere. He just caught a plane ride somewhere, wouldn't be surprised that he shows up.
