Chad Lyle made his mark in the history books Friday night.

Lyle, from Lone Jack, won his third modified points championship at Lakeside Speedway. He’s the first racer to win three point titles since the track went back to dirt in 2000.

He didn’t just cruise with the middle of the pack Friday to get his point title. Lyle led from start to finish, while avoiding a wreck that took out a portion of the field. He also held off Tim Karrick, who finished second in both the race and the points.

Karrick and Clint Bowyer both have won two modified point championships.

In the Grand Nationals division, Nic Bidinger had already sealed a point title after picking up 11 victories this season. He made it 12 in the final race of the year.
