All Star Sprint Ohio Speedweek Race Results - Muskingum Co. Speedway
- Tue. 6/29/99 By Scott Hall
ZANESVILLE, OH - Kelly Kinser came from 13th starting spot to
earn a $5,000 payday in the exciting All Star sprint Ohio Speedweek
30-lap feature Tuesday night at Muskingum Co. Speedway. Kinser ran
his patented bottom groove as the All Stars returned to Muskingum
for the first time since 1993. His winning ride was the familiar
Stealth No. 4k with Gaerte-Chevrolet power and it was Kinser’s
fifth career Ohio Speedweek checkered flag. Donnie Goeden aboard his
Karavan Trailers J&J started on the ButlerBuilt Motorsports
Equipment Hot Seat pole position underneath Randy Kinser in the
Franklin Power Products Maxim, with Mark Keegan and Ed Lynch, Jr. in
row two and Kenny Jacobs and Monday night winner Joey Saldana in row
three. R. Kinser took the initial lead with Keegan tucking in for
second as Saldana took third from Goeden on lap three. K. Kinser was
on a tear through the pack, eighth by lap four and up to sixth with
ten laps in the record books behind R. Kinser, Keegan, Saldana,
Jacobs and Frankie Kerr. As the leaders entered lapped traffic on
lap 12, Keegan closed in on the leader and made an inside move in
turn three to pass R. Kinser and lead lap 14. Meanwhile, K. Kinser
had picked off Kerr and Jacobs and was up to fourth, passing Saldana
next and getting by Keegan in the low groove coming down the front
stretch to lead at the halfway point. When the only yellow of the
event flew on lap 20 for a Rocky Hodges flat, K. Kinser had a two
lapped car advantage for the restart over Keegan, Saldana and
Jacobs. He pulled away when the green flag returned, utilizing the
bottom groove of the race track, picking his way through lapped
traffic and stretching his margin to a full straightaway when the
checkered flag flew. Keegan ended up second, followed by Saldana in
the Steve Mox Stealth, Kerr in Stan Shoff’s J&J, Jacobs in his
own Eagle Chassis and 16th starting Danny Smith in the Denny
Ashworth Schnee. Dean Jacobs finished seventh, earning the
"Team Simpson Racing Lucky Seven" award after starting
12th with Lynch, Byron Reed and Rodney Duncan filling in the top
ten. "We’re happy with second," Keegan related.
"Except for Friday’s at Attica, we plan to run more All Star
races with this car." "I tried all the grooves,"
Saldana recalled of his race. "We had nothing for him (Kinser)."
The United Expressline heat fell to Randy Kinser, the Southwest
Expressline heat to Butch Schroeder, the Southwest Glass heat was
won by Rodney Duncan and the United Specialties heat went to Chad
Kemenah. Saldana won the Commercial Truck & Trailer Dash with
James Fisher the United Expressline B Main winner and Saldana was
the fast qualifier over the 40 car field.
