Knoxville,
Iowa (April 25, 1987) – Steve Kinser, aboard the Karl Kinser Coors Light
Gambler, drove to a convincing win before a huge crowd at the World of
Outlaws-sanctioned ‘Spring Opener’ at the Marion County Fairgrounds on Saturday
night.
The victory,
which extended the fleet Kinser’s series lead, paid $8,000 and was his 176th
career World of Outlaws’ feature win.
“I about got
caught loafin’,” Kinser said in victory lane as he referred to Jac
Haudenschild’s late race charge. “I was just trying to stay out of the holes.
The track was rough tonight and there towards the end I thought I had a better
lead.”
Thee 25-lap
event was halted on lap 8 when race leader Bobby Davis Jr. tangled with a
lapped car as he entered turn two. The impact sent the Memphis, Tenn., driver
tumbling into the fence. He was transported to the Knoxville Area Community
Hospital complaining of discomfort in his arm.
Kinser
assumed the lead on the restart and a two-car battle ensued when Haudenschild
came into contention shortly thereafter. Both use great portions of the
half-mile oval as they fought through lapped traffic for the lead but at the
checkered flag it was Kinser with the win.
Haudenschild
earned $4,500 for his runner-up finish. Brad Doty, Mark Kinser and Danny Smith
rounded out the top five.
Mark Kinser
set another new track record in time trials for the weekend, erasing cousin
Steve’s 24-hour mark with a clocking of 16.5 seconds.
Heat win
went to John Tuttle, Ron Shuman, Greg Rule and Danny Smith. The B-feature was
won by John Stevenson.
