**Brandon Garman Capitalizes on Kokomo Chaos to Claim Round 3** Ryan Wagonschutz had the car to beat all night. Heat winner, fastest in qualifying, and he was running the show early in the feature — until the tire strategy lottery turned this whole thing on its head. By the time the Tires Out configuration at Kokomo bit him, Brandon Garman was already circling like a shark. Garman made his move from second and took control, leading 14 laps down the stretch while Wagonschutz faded fighting a degrading set. That's the brutal math at Kokomo when the rubber runs out — speed means nothing if your tires check out first. Garman's aggressive tire management paid off completely. He was patient early, let Wagonschutz do the heavy lifting, then pounced when the moment was right. By the time the checkered dropped, Wagonschutz was fighting just to hold second place. That's how you steal a championship round. Not with raw pace, but with race craft and knowing when to strike.
