2006/08/06’s Infamous “Tie” between Chris Stevens and Billy Kuykendell!

Billy Kuykendell raced at Galletta’s for several races (and helped us out once or twice at Oswego Speedway Kartway) during the 2006 Season.

Bill showed potential, running up front with the veterans in his very 1st race, but he is most known for a controversy on 8/6/2006 when he was leading with one lap to go and apparently believed the race was done when the White Flag flew, and claimed to have let up, enabling veteran Chris Stevens to barely get him on the Checkered Flag lap. Chris was so distraught that he was accused of having a “conflict of interest” — as he races, places the videos on DVD (and later transferred to YouTube) and scores the races — that he called it a tie officially, despite the tape and spectators appearing to show Chris getting him by half a bumper.

Fun Fact: We were told that apparently Billy injured his hand while thwarting a robbery of his home.
