TRUMANN, Ark. (May 8) - Kyle Beard and Beard Motorsports will once again be in action this Friday and Saturday, May 9th - 10th in a pair of events in the state of Arkansas with the AMP Super Late Model Series.

Kyle was slated to compete in a pair of events over the weekend, but rain won on Friday night at Batesville Motor Speedway in Locust Grove, Arkansas. As a result, the team only competed on Saturday night at Poinsett County Raceway in Harrisburg, Arkansas. Kyle's bad luck continued to follow him early in the night as his left front shock fell off on the first lap of his heat race forcing him to the pits. Via his heat race DNF, Kyle was forced to start 5th in his b-main. He was able to advance to the second transfer spot, which earned him an 18th starting position for the feature event. In the feature, while many of his competitors opted for the low line, Kyle headed upstairs to the very high side of the track and charged to a 4th place finish and won the Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger Award.

Kyle's Dad, Gary, was also in action and came away with a 14th place finish in the Super Late Model feature.

This Friday and Saturday, Kyle will return to action behind the wheel of his #86 GRT By Frye/Samuels Racing Engine Super Late Model. The weekend gets underway with a $1,500 to win/$200 to start event at Beebe Speedway in Beebe, Arkansas. On Saturday night, Beard Motorsports will travel to Central Arkansas Speedway in Plumerville, Arkansas for another $1,500 to win/$200 to start event.
