“We’ve been good in the Modified so far this year, but we’ve been a little off in the Late Model. Thankfully, we finally put a whole night together on Friday at Poplar Bluff,” Beard said. “We had a lot of family and friends there with us and that made the night even more enjoyable.”

Beard made the trek on Friday evening to Poplar Bluff Motorsports Park (Poplar Bluff, Mo.), where he was competing in both the Super Late Model and Modified divisions. In the Super Late Model ranks he led every lap of his heat race and his feature to score the $1,000 win. Robby Moore, Chris Jones, Scott Tracer, and Adam Elliott completed the Top-5 finishers.

After winning his heat race in the Mann Motorsports No. 86 Modified, Kyle started fourth on the feature grid for the $1,000-to-win feature. He went on to advance to a runner-up finish behind Shawn Knuckles with Brandon Walsh, Austin Rettig and Chad Tilley completing the Top 5.
