Round 12 Sparks Nv

Fri, 14 Sep 2012 22:26:11 +0100

This has been an exciting year for Kyle and he's quickly racking up his first places finishes and working his way closer and closer to the Pro 4 Championship at the end of the year. If the team only knew that Saturdays race was a glimpse into the future of Sundays race. Qualifying in the top spot seems to be a trend this year as well as being inverted into the third row on the starting grid. Kyle planned to move through the pack of Pro 4s as smoothly as possible and finish the race in order to gain maximum points and keep himself in the lead. It seems that Reno had different plans for him altogether. Again Kyle would have mechanical problems with his rear shocks and took another beating throughout the majority of the race. Coming into the last lap of the race in sixth place was not good enough for Kyle and he managed to pass two other trucks with broken shocks and all and ended up taking forth place, just one position shy of the podium. Kyle was able to maintain his points lead although he was a little banged up after the weekend.

Round 11 Sparks Nv

Fri, 14 Sep 2012 22:14:32 +0100

It was the first Lucas Oil Off Road race that the fans in Sparks Nv have seen. This track was entertaining to say the least with its huge down hill jumps and level changes throughout. Although this new track was exciting for everyone the set up was unbearable for the Pro 4. Qualifying fastest for Saturdays race was was an awesome start to the weekend although Kyle was inverted to he third row for the stating grid. The Pro 4 was fast in Reno and although Kyle's rear shocks gave him mechanical problems and a hard beating, he was still able to come out on top of the podium taking home the first place trophy.

Round 10 Glen Helen Ca

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 20:21:14 +0100

The sun was setting at Glen Helen Raceway but the races were just getting started. Starting in the third row in the sixth place position, number one qualifier Kyle Leduc was able to work his way up to the second place position before the first half of the race was over. Kyle and Eric Baron battled for the second half of the race until the end, Kyle finished second and received fastest lap as he tried endlessly to get around Eric.

Round 9 Glen Helen Ca

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 20:10:19 +0100

Glen Helen was a real scorcher but the fans came out and endured the heat. Kyle qualified 1st for Saturday and Sundays night races. Although he was the number one qualifier he started out on the outside of row three after the inversion. Saturdays race seemed to be playing out well until an incident with Eric Baron took Kyle out of he race and left him with a broken right front axel. Kyle was able to limp his truck around the track to finish the race and gain what few points he could.

Round 5 Surprise Az

Mon, 28 May 2012 20:31:50 +0100

Keeping his winning streak alive, Kyle qualified 1st on Friday for Saturday's race. Although the weather was 100 degrees plus for rounds five and six that didn't change the teams spirits. Kyle had a few problems during Saturdays race after hitting the wall and bending his wheel and his breaks. Although his truck wasn't 100% he was still able to battle it out and receive the top spot on the podium.
