From Kyle Steckly on his first win:

We had a great day at the track yesterday! We started out strong and had a good starting position for the first feature starting in second. I got the lead on the start and lead every lap on to win the feature. The second race wasn’t as easy as I had to start at the back of the field. But we made our way up to the front and got the lead bear the end of the race! It was a great night and I learned a ton again about passing and the cars. Thanks to all of you for your support. We will be testing and getting the car even better and be racing on august 7th.
