Spencer Boyd
Spencer Boyd recently joined Kyle Beattie Racing for the 2010 Legends Young Lions season. We are all very excited about the addition of Spencer Boyd to our race team. Spencer comes from a family of racers who have proven themselves time and again in the IKF and WKA road course series. We started Spencer out at several private tests with KBR to make sure that he was up for the challenge and he has impressed us from the first time he stepped into a Legends car. Spencer has already shown us what he can do with a top five qualifying effort in only his second race.
Humphreys and Beattie Win at Orange County
Cody Humphreys dominated the Young Lions devision on Saturday at Orange County Speedway. Cody set fast time in his group and was third quick overall in qualifying ( Behind Kyle Beattie and Daniel Hemeric ). Cody went on to lead every lap and dominate the feature event. Spencer Boyd ( A new addition to KBR ) in his first legends race took home sixth place at the fast 3/8 mile track. Kyle Beattie took the victory over Hemeric in the feature. The two drivers battled back and forth but at the end of the race it was Beattie with an exciting outside pass for the win. Cody is primed and ready to go for the big race on Thanksgiving weekend at Dillon Speedway!
Remembering Steve
Steve came to Kyle Beattie Racing around three years ago with Jesse Bunnell. As our relationship grew on and off the track, Steve and Kathy quickly became family members. Steve always gave his all racing his ABS Masters #96 machine along with his ABS Thunder Car #96 machine. Not only did Steve race, but he also gave full rides to Jesse and Kyle, something that no one else was willing to give these two extraordinary drivers. Jesse and Kyle both run the ABS Pro Legends Division. Jesse brought home the 2007 KOTO championship for ABS Thunder Car, making Steve the proud owner of a Champion. Jesse also runs the ABS Street Stock at Concord. Kyle had the privilege of running the ABS Late Model at Concord. No matter if Steve was racing or watching Jesse and Kyle run, he was truly happy. Steve will certainly be missed by his big smile, and the way he giggled when he was happy with his car and the way he ran. I know I am going to miss his big bear hugs I got every time I saw him. Everyone has special thoughts and moments that they shared with Steve that make them smile. Through this hard time we all must remember the great times we had with Steve on and off the track. Not only did Steve enjoy racing, but also spending time with his two dogs, Gracie and Fannie Mae, and his cat, Freddy Mac. Kathy would like to see memorials be made in Steve’s name to the Union County Humane Society.
We would also like to thank the racing community for standing behind us through everything. In the last couple days, everyone has rallied around KBR to help. Dan and Tim Snyder made special In Memory decals for all the cars. Adam Welch won his Thunder Car race at
