Steve Kinser parked his Tony Stewart Racing No. 11 in Victory Lane at Huset's Speedway Saturday night, his second World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series win in as many days.
“It’s a great feeling to be back in victory lane for the second night in a row,” said a grinning Kinser. “The track started to rubber up a bit and we found something there about halfway through. It hooked up car really well and allowed us to get by the 14 and the 9. The whole crew really worked hard to get us back to where we were earlier this year and I think we are getting there. We certainly had a lot more speed the past two nights than we have had in the last month.”
The legendary Outlaws driver started eighth in the 24-car field and worked his way past leaders Brad Sweet and Jason Meyers on lap 22 of the 35-lap feature.
“Another great run for us tonight in this All-Star Performance/DDNi/Media-Tile car,” Meyers said after finishing second to Kinser. ”Brad and I got to battling there pretty good and the track started laying rubber down. There’s not much left here on this right rear but we made it. Like I said, just another great night for us.”
Brad Sweet, driving the Kasey Kahne Racing No. 9, finished third after leading the first 21 laps.
“We had an awesome car tonight for sure,” Sweet said. “We had some pretty good battles going there with Steve and Jason. We’ll eventually learn how to win one of these things. It’d be some great medicine for Joey back home to see the #9 car back in Victory Lane.”
Terry McCarl and Sam Hafertepe Jr. rounded out the top-five.
Meyers extended his point lead to 89 over Donny Schatz, who finished 22nd. Kinser is now tied with Schatz for second in the 2011 championship battle.
The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series return to action Tuesday, August 23rd at Black Hills Speedway in Rapid City, South Dakota as the 'Great Northern Tour' continues.
