Loyet sweeps Bull Ring Nationals
By: Bryan Gapinski
KANSAS, CITY, MO (December 21) - Brad Loyet completed a clean sweep winning
Saturday Night’s 40-lap Lucas Oil Bull Ring Midget Nationals presented by
Lucas Cattle Company at the Kemper Arena. Loyet celebrated his 22nd birthday
in style collecting $10,000 for the first place prize, pushing his two-day
total to a $17,000 payoff.
Loyet took the lead on the start over his teammate Danny Lasoski, and began
laping slower cars on Lap 5. One lap later Don Droud Jr. flipped escaping
injury. On the restart Lasoski pressured Loyet for the lead, with the pair
separated by less than a foot at the start-finish line for three straight
laps, with Lasoski being credited as the leader on lap 12, before Loyet
moved past Lasoski in Turn 1.
Loyet and Lasoski led a six car break-away from the field. Eight cautions
and two minor flips slowed the event between laps 19-30. Each time on the
restart Loyet held a slight advantage over Lasoski.
During the final five laps the pair pulled away from the field, with Loyet
edging Lasoski by one-car length at the finish. The pair drove identical
Loyet Motorsports owned Spike/Ford-Esslinger’s. Brad Kuhn placed third
followed closely by Shane Cockrum. Droud recovered from the lap 6 flip to
finish in the fifth position.
“My mechanic Flea Ruzic had both cars spot-on tonight, its great to get a
one-two finish, I needed to get the jump on the start from Danny it worked
perfect ” commented Loyet.
Jacob Wilson captured the 20-lap Midwest Outlaw Lightning Sprint feature,
while Greg Rossell won the 20-lap Dwarf Car/Mod Lite feature.
