Unable to replace the engine in time for Saturday’s Race 1, Kaylen sat out the opening Race 1 of the weekend. With a new engine in place for Sunday and Race 2, Kaylen set a blistering pace and distanced himself from the field. Racing to an outstanding 24 second lead at lap 8, Kaylen’s engine failed again due to faulty connections in the wiring harness leading to his retirement from the race.
