Steve Kosiski
Jefferson, S.D. (July 1, 1989) – Steve Kosiski overtook his brother Joe for the lead on lap 36 and held on to win Saturday’s NASCAR Busch All-Star Tour 50-lap feature before a capacity crowd at Park Jefferson International Speedway.
The Omaha, Neb., veteran captured his third Busch Tour win of the season and earned him $3,000.
The Kosiski’s and Oxford, Iowa’s Steve Boley staged a furious battle for the top spot in the early going.
Boley sped to the lead and waged a tight battle for the top spot with Davenport’s Rollie Frink for the first 16 laps around the beautiful 4/9-mile dirt oval. The Kosiski’s, who started alongside each other in the third row, moved their way through the field and mounted a challenge that saw them and Boley get together in turn four.
As the crowd came to its feet, Joe Kosiski came out of the scuffle with the advantage as Boley and Steve Kosiski fought for second. Steve began to pull away from Boley and chased down Joe on lap 30. The fierce sibling rivalry continued for the next six laps as the two former tour champions swapped the lead several times and raced side-by-side, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
Steve finally overhauled Joe on lap 36 and stayed in front the rest of the way. Joe settled for runner-up honors and was followed by Frink, Boley, and Johnny Saathoff of Beatrice, Neb.
Joe Kosiski was fast timer with a qualifying run of 16.60 seconds. Boley won the “Race of Champions” while Craig Jacobs and Boley won 20-qualifying features.
