January 6th, 2012 - The team had originally planned to open their 2012 campaign at the 21st Annual Ice Bowl at Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Alabama) this weekend, but due to unforeseen circumstances as well as increased rain chances they have decided to not take part in the event.

November 5th, 2011 - The team concluded their 2011 season over the weekend in the 5th Annual Gumbo Nationals at Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) as a $7,000-to-win/$700-to-start purse was posted for the 70 lap event. Kyle began the weekend by qualifying sixth fastest in his group to earn the third starting spot for his heat race. Early in the race he would slip back to the fifth spot before mounting a late race charge to battle for a transfer spot. His efforts would fall just short as he finished fifth, and with only the top four cars moving onto the feature, he was forced to run a b-main on Saturday night.

Kyle would start Saturday night by winning the b-main to lock into the 18th starting position for the 70 lap finale. In the feature he would advance a handful of positions before ultimately retiring late in the event to an 18th place finish. Full weekend results are available at www.PRODirtCarSeries.com.

October 29th, 2011 - After a three week break, Kyle resumed the 2011 season over the weekend with the 8th Annual Southern Belle Cotton Pickin' 100 at Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi). A stellar field of 66 Super Late Models entered the event, and Kyle would find himself behind the eight ball early in the weekend as he was able to manage only the 30th fastest time in his group, which left him starting tenth in his heat race. He would advance to an 8th place finish in his heat race, which left him short of a transfer to the feature, and he was forced to start on the fifth row of a b-main. In the b-main he passed a few cars, but still did not earn a transfer spot to the feature as his weekend came to an early end. Full results are available at www.MagnoliaDirt.com.

October 8th, 2011 - In what has been the theme of the year, Kyle once again battled heart break in the season finale for the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) on Saturday night at Riverside International Speedway (West Memphis, Arkansas). With 35 Super Late Models entered into the $2,000-to-win/$400-to-start event, Kyle had his sights on making up a 24 point deficit to series point's leader, Brandon Smith. In heat race action, Kyle started fourth and was up to the second position early in the heat, when he jumped the cushion in turn two causing him to drop to the fourth spot. That's where he would finish in the heat, and with only the top three cars moving on to the feature from the heat, he was forced to run a b-main.

After winning the b-main, he started 14th in the 35 lap feature, and as the race went green he began marching his way forward. By the race's midway point he was up to the third spot, but disaster would strike a few laps later, when the motor expired in his entry relegating him to a 14th place finish at the checkered flag. He finished second in the final series' standings. Full results and the latest standings are available at www.COMPDirt.com.
