ELBRIDGE, N.Y. — Steve Kinser has an impressive and unmatched record at most of the tracks on the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series schedule, and one that really stands out above the rest is Rolling Wheels Raceway Park in Elbridge, New York. The 20-time series champion had made 25 starts at the sprawling 5/8-mile facility entering Monday night’s event and had finished in the Top-10 in each and every one of those. He kept this streak going on Memorial Day, as he picked up his 10th A-Feature win at the track and the 545th of his career.
Kinser started on the outside of the front row aboard the Q Oil Maxim and took the lead from Shane Stewart on the opening lap of the event, after a caution led to a complete restart after the initial green flag. From there, the native of Bloomington, Indiana would dominate the race, leading all 25 circuits in an event that would go green to checker in just over 8 minutes and 14 seconds. He began the night by setting fast time in time trials, won the first heat race and was just one spot short of a clean sweep, finishing second in the Crane Cams Dash.
“We’ve always run around this place pretty good and always have a good set-up,†said Kinser from Victory Lane after his second win of 2008. “It’s one of those race tracks that fits our race cars and fits my style of driving. We’ve always been exceptionally fast here. I always enjoy coming here.â€
The race began with Shane Stewart jumping to the lead in the first turn, and Kinser battling him on the high side of the track exiting the second turn but the caution flew before a full lap was completed, leading to a complete restart. On the second start, Stewart again led into the first turn, with Kinser charging around him on the outside, exiting the second turn.
