Kyle Berck dominates the action at
Park Jefferson Speedway

Jefferson,
SD
-
Kyle Berck pulled double duty as Patrick M
Pinney Contracting presented the racing
action at Park Jefferson Speedway.
Berck would run in both the IMCA modifieds
as well as the SLMR late models in hopes of
pulling off a rare double. Berck’s run
would come up short with the modifieds, but
the late model race would be all Kyle Berck.
Other feature winners on the night were Mike
Hansen, Glenn Wynia, Chris Weatherton,
Marlis Boggs, Austin Pinney, and Rusty
Montagne.
The main event of the evening was the SLMR
late models, but it was readily apparent
that this night was going to be the Kyle
Berck show. Berck would dominate his
heat race and would jump to the lead from
his fifth starting spot at lap four and
never look back. At various points
Berck would have an almost half lap
advantage over second place. Late in
the race, the fastest car on the track was
Ed Kosiski. However, at that point,
Kosiski was too far behind to make any kind
of challenge. At the line, Berck would
still have a full straightaway advantage
over Joe Kosiski, Ed Kosiski, Mike Collins,
and Craig Prebble.
