Kyle Beard To Debut New Car at 21st Annual Ice Bowl

by Ben Shelton
Trumann, AR (01/04/12) – Looking to put behind him a tough 2011 campaign, "The Silent Assassin" Kyle Beard is eager to start a new season and will do so this weekend in brand new #86 Beard Motorsports/GRT/Samuels Performance Racing Engine Super Late Model in the 21st Annual Ice Bowl at Talladega Short Track.

After a 2011 season that saw Beard endure more than his fair share of bad luck the team has made several changes for the 2012 campaign. The most notable change is that he will be piloting a brand new GRT this season. He makes the change back to the Greenbrier, Arkansas-produced chassis, which saw him pick up several wins early in his career. The team is also refocused and reloaded as they look to make some noise throughout the southeast this season.

Kyle Beard will open the 2012 campaign this weekend, January 5th-8th, in the 21st Annual Ice Bowl at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Alabama. Kyle has made the feature twice with a best finish of 15th in 2010. Kyle has his sights set on a top five finish in this year's edition of the event, which will see Open Practice on Thursday and Friday with time trials and heat race action on Saturday. Sunday will be highlighted by b-mains, and the $6,000 to win finale. For more information on the event, please visit www.TalladegaShortTrack.com .
