Kyle Smith Drives to his First 2022 Sportsman Win Season at Grandview Speedway

Kyle Smith drove from his 13^th starting position to take the lead on lap 21 and drive into victory lane for his first 2022 win of the season.

Michael Burrows led for 19 laps until the first caution of the night waved for a spinning Steve Young.  On the restart Kyle Smith moved from 5^th into 2^nd but caution again flew when Zach Steffy ended up in the turn 4 wall which also brought out the red flag.  On the second and final restart Kyle Smith took the lead and took the win by a 1.5 second margin of victory over Michael Burrows.  Brian Hirthler finished out the podium in 3^rd from his 15^th starting position

Heat winners for the 32 car sportsman field were Keith Haring, Michael Burrows, and Zach Steffey.   The last chance consolation was won by Steve Young.
