Can-Am’s Kyle Chaney Sweeps
ERX Double Header
Lucas Oil Midwest Short
Course League • Rounds 3 & 4 • ERX
Pataskala, OH (7/19/2018) -
Can-Am/XPS Lubricants/CT Raceworx driver Kyle
Chaney swept both UTV Pro Modified races during
the Lucas Oil Midwest Short Course League doubleheader
at ERX Motor Park in Elk River, MN. The two victories
moved him to third in points.
Chaney shook off bad luck from the opening rounds
at Crandon and was at the top of the speed charts
all weekend. He qualified first for Friday’s race
and, after starting on the second row due to the
invert, he set out to run a smooth pace. However,
with caution flags waving several times early
in the 20-minute event, he quickly took a more
aggressive stance, took the lead, and went on
to win.
“The car worked really well in qualifying and
I left the setup the same,” said Chaney. “I should
have switched to my dry setup because the car
was hooking up almost too well in the corners.
I just wanted to take my time and work my way
to the front, but we had so many cautions that
I had to start getting aggressive. I cleared the
field a little bit and opened up a big gap. I
held on the last couple of laps.”
After again qualifying first for Saturday’s race,
Chaney started on the pole. He took the lead at
the start and was never seriously challenged during
a perfect run.
“I just hit my marks and ran a smooth pace,”
said Chaney. “I don’t think I made one mistake
all race. The Maxxis Tires gave me too much traction,
which is a good issue to have because it’s easy
to fix. The car was awesome all weekend. The Fox
Shocks and G-Force Tune helped me tie everything
together for a perfect weekend.”
Chaney is quickly in the thick of the points
battle heading into the final two events. The
next event is being held at Bark River in Michigan.
He’s looking forward to continuing his win streak
at his preferred track.
“I knew I had the speed and the machine this
year,” said Chaney. “My goal now is go for race
wins. We accomplished that goal this weekend,
so hopefully we can keep the streak alive when
we get to my favorite track at Bark River.”
Chaney is looking to again put his Can-Am X3
at the front of the field as the Midwest Short
Course League next heads to Bark River International
Raceway. The doubleheader weekend is scheduled
for August 10-13 in Bark River, MI.
