Franklin, Wis, (July 24, 1987) – Steve Kinser kept his Hales Corner Speedway winning streak intact Friday night by winning the 35-lap World of Outlaws sprint car feature Friday night.
It makes three wins in three appearances at the 1/3-mile clay oval. It was Kinser’s 25th World of Outlaws feature win this season, bringing him within three of the season record. It also helped polish his point lead.
Kinser was unimpressive in time trials, turning the fifth fastest time, and only placed third in his heat race. But the seven-time World of Outlaws champion made some major changes before the feature.
Chris Eash started the A-main from the pole and led the 22-car field in the early going. Kinser started fourth, grabbed second on lap 2, and took the lead on lap 3. From there, he had things his own way and had only lapped traffic to contend with.
Eash held down second, about a quarter of a lap behind Kinser, but soon found Bobby Davis Jr. closing in. Davis took second on lap 15 but could do little with Kinser, who was passing lapped traffic at will.
Record-setting qualifier Brad Doty took third from Eash on lap 17 and caught Davis for second, just as the yellow flew on lap 29.
On the restart, Kinser ran off to a quarter-lap lead, Davis maintained second, with Doty, Danny Smith, Eash and Haudenschild the only drivers on the lead lap.
Earlier in the evening, Doty toured the track in 14.521 seconds, breaking the old record of 14.733 seconds set by Mark Kinser.
