Kyle Dingwall Battles Back From Lap One Crash to Score Top Five Finish at Brockville Speedway on Double Points Night

With double laps, double purse and double points on the line at Brockville Speedway on Saturday night, Kyle Dingwall has hoping for another solid finish at the BOS.  His consistent finishes in 2012 leaves him as the only driver to finish in the top ten each week, and for any shot at the 2012 BOS championship, he would have to continue that streak with double points up for grabs.  Dingwall also had a 100 lap Canadian Nationals Series race at Cornwall Motor Speedway on his weekend agenda as well.

In his qualifying heat race at Brockville, Kyle started from fifth place, but would only advance one position to finish fourth.  He returned to the pit area and made some adjustment to the car hoping to get it dialed in for the night’s 60 lap feature.  Kyle rolled off the starting grid from 12^th place, and at the drop of the green flag, problems developed at the front of the pack, bottling up the rest of the field.  Kyle had damage to the right front of his car and would have to return to the pits under caution for repairs.  After quick work by Dingwall’s crew, he was back out on the track in time for the restart, and would have to come from the rear of the field.  A couple more early cautions helped Dingwall, and by lap 16 he was back inside the top ten.  Kyle remained patient with plenty of laps remaining.  With 40 laps complete, he was starting to move forward, he was up to seventh and looking for more.  Over the final the next few laps he moved into sixth and took over the fifth spot with only four laps remaining.

“It was a hard fought top five finish tonight.  After getting into that wreck on lap one, I wasn’t sure where we were going to end up”, says Dingwall.  “It wasn’t looking very good, but we were able to fight our way back”.

At Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night, Kyle was ready for battle in the 100 lap Canadian Nationals Series event.  However, a late afternoon downpour forced track officials to postpone the second round of the series until Sunday, August 19^th. 

His fifth place finish at Brockville puts him third in points in the battle for the 2012 Modified championship.  He is just three points out of second place, and 44 points out of the lead.  With the rainout at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday, Dingwall remains fifth in points, only 18 out of the lead.
