After three months and 20 starts without a victory, Kyle Cummins was beginning to wonder if he’d ever win again in USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship competition.

Couple that with the fact that he’s finished as the runner-up in seven of his last 10 series starts, the Princeton, Indiana driver was pondering what exactly he could do to push himself back to the top, especially after missing out on a win by mere inches 24 hours earlier.

Yet, Saturday’s event at Quincy, Michigan’s proved to be everything Cummins had wished and hoped it would be, even when it looked like he had let the opportunity slip from his grip for a brief moment during the midway point of the 30-lap feature.

Just as soon as Cummins took over the top spot from Justin Grant on the 13th circuit, he saw his lead escape the following lap. However, Cummins rediscovered his groove once more, then sprinted back by Grant to slot into the lead before patrolling the final 15 laps to earn his eighth victory of the USAC National Sprint Car season.

“Finally, finally! Holy moly,” Cummins exclaimed after capturing his first series win since June 29 of this year at Ohio’s Millstream Speedway. “It felt like a long time coming. We’ve got some wins this year, but when it doesn’t come for a long time, it feels like you might never win again, but we just kept pushing.”

Cummins’ 28th career USAC National Sprint Car win moved him inside the top-20 on the all-time list alongside series champions A.J. Foyt, Don Branson, J.J. Yeley and Levi Jones. While not a USAC National Sprint Car champion yet, Cummins is sure on his way, currently possessing a commanding 297 point lead with seven races remaining this season.
