Kyle, earlier in August won his second  championship in the “Summer shootout” held at Wisconsin State Fair park up in West Allis. The LGR title went right down to the final laps of the 20 lap feature, as 2005 champion Kyle Palma from Delavan still had a chance
to pull off the victory ,but an earlier incident only placed the defending  champ in 7th. for the event.Jusits placed 4th. This gave Jusits the edge, finishing 25 points ahead for the season.
