Granite
City, Ill. (April 11, 1981) – Steve Kinser of Bloomington, Ind., made it two in
a row at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City as he won both ends of the two-day
World of Outlaws race meet Friday and Saturday.
Kinser
earned the pole position for Saturday’s 40-lap feature by setting fast time on
Friday and he took the lead at the drop of the green and led all the way to the
win. Rick Ferkel of Findlay, Ohio, was second and Doug Wolfgang of Sioux Falls,
S.D., was third.
The 24-car
field went the entire 40-lap distance without a caution flag and only six cars
dropped out with mechanical problems.
While
Saturday’s race was with wings, Friday’s was without, but it made little
difference to Kinser as he won the 25-lap feature on opening night. He took the
lead after 12 laps were down as he passed Tim Green of Carmichael, Calif.
Saturday
heats were won by Sammy Swindell of West Memphis, Tenn., Mike Brooks of Knoxville,
Iowa, Chuck Amati of Freeman Spur, Ill., Lee James of Sacramento, Calif., and
Doug Wolfgang of Sioux Falls, S.D./ Dean Shirley of Middletown, Ill., won the
semi-feature.
Friday heat
winners were Wolfgang, Danny Smith of Hendersonville, Tenn., Ken Schrader of
Fenton, Mo., Swindell, and Shirley. Joe McCarthy of El Paso, Tex., won the
semi-feature.
