Late Model - July 16, 2010 - Mid-Nebraska Speedway, Doniphan, NE
            Friday night the KBMR team loaded the Dorothy Lynch /Strobel Construction sponsored Lazer chassis and head to Doniphan, NE to compete with the NCRA series.  Kyle started the night  in the second heat third row inside and he would go on to win the heat.  Kyle would lead the passing points which started him on the pole for the 30 lap A feature.  Kyle  would quickly set the pace on the rest of the field and  would lead the first five laps but would quickly get a challenge from Kelly Boen. On lap seven while battling for the lead, both drivers would get together coming out of turn two causing Kyle to slow with a flat tire. The KBMR team would make the tire change and get Kyle back on the track where he had to restart at the tail end of the field.  Kyle would make a great come back and finish 5th!! Top 5 were - 1, Kelly Boen. 2, Denny Eckrich. 3, Delbert Smith. 4, Corey Zeitner. 5, Kyle Berck.

Late Model - July 17, 2010 - Mid-Nebraska Speedway, Doniphan, NE
            Saturday night the team was back in action at Mid-Nebraska Speedway competing with the NCRA.  Kyle started the night in the third heat on the pole.  He would go on to easily win the heat and start the 40 lap A feature third row inside.  On the drop of the green Kelly Boen paced the field while behind him, two-time and defending series champion Kyle and Denny Eckrich waged a spirited battle for the runner up position as all three drivers quickly distanced themselves from the rest of the field.  All three drivers had lapped up to the tenth place position by the races midway point with Kelly Boen continuing out front.  With 7 to go a caution came out and would bunch the field up.   On the restart Kelly and Kyle would battle hard taking the same groove on the track and bumping into each other several times allowing for third place driver Denny Eckrich to get around both cars and take the lead.  Unfortunately, Kyle would fall to a disappointing 3rd place finish.  Top 5 were - 1, Denny Eckrich. 2, Kelly Boen. 3, Kyle Berck. 4, Travis Dickes. 5, Delbert Smith
