Rossburg, Ohio (April 10, 1988) – Doug Wolfgang edged Steve Kinser by two-car-lengths to win the 30-lap World of Outlaws sprint car feature Sunday afternoon at Eldora Speedway.
The race got off to a ragged start as the front three cars in the starting line-up, Jimmy Sills, Dave Blaney, and Mark Kinser, tangled in turn four of the opening lap, knocking all three competitors out of the race.
When the race resumed after the melee, Sammy Swindell took command and paced the first 13 laps followed closely by Kinser and Wolfgang. On round 14, when Kinser attempted to overtake Swindell, Wolfgang shot past both former World of Outlaw champions and seized the lead.
Wolfgang held on to the top spot until round 25 when Kinser took over. However, on lap 28, Wolfgang powered back in front as he slipped past Kinser. He would fight off a couple of challenges on the final two rounds before taking the checkers and the victory.
Kinser held on to take runner-up honors with Rocky Hodges placing third ahead of Swindell and Brad Doty.
