Brandon Kinzer Returns
to Modified Competition in Spring Thaw The ONUM tour presided over the open wheel action, which was on the undercard for the XR Super Series. On Saturday evening in the $2,000 to win opener, Brandon Kinzer placed fourth in his heat race and later climbed to as high as third in the running order in the 25-lap feature. A skirmish late in the race knocked him back a few spots, but BK was still able to cross underneath the checkers in the fifth position behind only victor Blake Brown, Colton Proffit, Joe Duvall, and Adam Ogle. At "The Gap" on Sunday, another $2,000 top prize was up for grabs in the weekend finale. Brandon once again finished fourth in his stacked heat race and later started the 25-lapper from the inside of the fourth row. The Kentucky-turned-Florida native wound up finishing right where he took the green flag... in the seventh spot.

wrapped up in a big way tonight at Volusia Speedway Park, as a $5,000
winner's check was up for grabs in the Gator Championship. Brandon
Kinzer secured a victory in his Lance Chance Showdown and later
rolled off from the inside of the tenth row in the 30-lap headliner.
Brandon then vaulted up near the top ten early in the contest before
unfortunately running out of tear-offs on lap twelve. He was forced
to retire from the Gator Championship finale and was relegated to
a disappointing twenty-eighth place performance. (Josh
