Willow Springs, Ill. (May 13, 1988) – Sammy Swindell outsprinted Dave Blaney into the first turn to gain the lead on the opening lap and then went on to lead all 30 laps in the World of Outlaws sprint car feature Friday night at Santa Fe Speedway.
Blaney earned the pole position for the event by winning the trophy dash over Swindell, but Swindell managed a good jump at the start and beat Blaney into the low groove in the first turn of the opening lap.
Swindell, who ran the first sub-15 second lap in the history of Santa Fe Speedway during time trials (14.846 seconds), never relinquished the lad as he went to take the checkered flag ahead of Blaney.
Steve Kinser placed third followed by Jac Haudenschild and Bobby Allen.
Mark Kinser, who was the second fastest qualifier, slammed into the wall and flipped three times in the feature but was not injured. Greg Wooley and Tim Gee were also involved in the crash but escaped injury as well.
