Steve Kinser Takes WoO Knoxville Opener by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (April 27) After struggling on the sprint car trail the past two weeks, Steve Kinser put it all together Saturday night at the Knoxville Raceway to claim the World of Outlaws "Spring Opener" before an absolutely packed crowd of 12,000
"Everybody's so close and so competitive right now," Kinser explained in victory lane. "You have to start up front. We're just glad to put together a win."
Kinser, who started in the front row, grabbed the lead on the second lap and held that position to the finish of the $8,200-to-win, 25-lap event. It was Kinser's seventh WoO feature event win of the season and 30th of his career here at the Marion County Fairgrounds.
The event, which went non-stop, saw Sammy Swindell take second on the dry slick track after a pass of Dave Blaney in lapped traffic during the late stages of the race. Blaney placed third after the race-long battle with Swindell. Doug Wolfgang was fourth and Mark Kinser trailed closely for fifth. Rounding out the top 10 were Jeff Swindell, Stevie Smith, Randy Smith, Craig Keel and Joe Gaerte.
Qualifying heats were won by Mark Kinser, Jeff Swindell, Johnny Herrera and Danny Young. Archie Ergenbright captured the C feature and Tim Monson led four drivers into the finale with a win in the B feature.
Doug Wolfgang led flag to flag in the rain-cancelled Friday preliminary feature event, which was held Saturday after time trials. Wolfgang out-dragged Sammy Swindell to the flag stand to begin the race and the duo battled for the top spot for the remainder of the $3,500-to-win event.
In victory lane, Wolfgang said he "hit the lapped traffic perfectly in the final laps."
At the checkered flag it was Wolfgang by five car lengths over Swindell, who was blowing heavy smoke from a leaking gasket. The win was the South Dakota native's 55th career feature event on the Knoxville oval.
Steve Kinser trailed at a distant third, Blaney was fourth and Mark Kinser finished fifth. Jeff Swindell, Keel, S. Smith, Gaerte and Herrera completed the top 10 finishers.

Griffin Takes Friday Knoxville CRA Opener by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (May 10) - Richard Griffin found the racing surface to his liking as he captured the 30-lap feature event for the California Racing Association (CRA) non-winged sprint cars at Knoxville Raceway Friday night.
Griffin, who was obviously the fastest car all evening, set two track records on the night. He piloted his sprinter into the lead of the feature event on lap 12 from a fourth row starting position. Once in front, the fleet Griffin appeared to be on his way to an unchallenged victory.
On lap 24, Bubby Jones came into the picture and began to vie for the top spot. Two laps later, Lealand McSpadden made it a three-some as Griffin's tires began to go away. The final circuits saw several challenges for the top spot as Griffin was able to keep the point position and crossed the finish line three car lengths ahead of Jones and McSpadden to claim the $3,000 first place money.
Finishing fourth was a fast-closing Billy Boat, Rip Williams took fifth and Ron Shuman settled for sixth. Gary Howard, Sid Blandford, Steve Ostling and Rich Bubak formed the top 10 finishers.
This seventh annual CRA Midwest Tour of Champions saw Griffin establish new track records at one and ten lap distances in the Pepper Fite-owned Ford-powered sprinter. Additional marks were set for three laps and 12 laps.
Qualifying heats went to Griffin, Cary Faas and Rickie Gaunt. McSpadden took the trophy dash and the B Main.
A companion Knoxville Limited Sprint program found Mark Wilson on top of an 18-car field in that division's feature event. Dwight Snodgrass was second and Mike Twedt finished third. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 5 of 53

Griffin Makes it Two in a Row in CRA Knoxville Sprints, Smith Takes Winged 410 Win by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (May 11) - The seventh annual California Racing Association (CRA) Tour of Champions completed its second night of competition at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night and Richard Griffin gave an encore performance in his wingless CRA sprinter.
Griffin, who had captured the preliminary feature a mere twenty-four hours earlier, guided his Gambler sprinter from a fourth row starting position to take the lead from Ron Shuman just past the half-way point. Once in front he was able to extend his margin over Shuman, the 1979 Knoxville Nationals Champion.
When the checkereds fell on lap 30, Griffin laid claim to a straight away advantage as well as a $5,000 check for the top spot. Shuman held off a hard charging Billy Boat to take second, Bubby Jones was fourth and Rip Williams finished fifth.
Randy Smith captured his thirty-fourth career feature event at the Marion County Fairgrounds in a companion program for unlimited Knoxville sprints. The Serace Inc. sprinter took the lead from Jeff Tuttle on lap six and coasted to a comfortable margin of victory. The five-time Knoxville champion received $2,500 for his efforts.

Wolfgang wins at Knoxville Raceway by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (May 18) - Doug Wolfgang made a weekend appearance in Hawkeyeland pay off as he captured the 20-lap feature event at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
The outlook for Wolfgang in the early evening seemed bleak as the five-time Nationals champion failed to qualify through his heat event for the feature race. He then ran the B feature and captured that event to gain a ninth row start in the finale.
Gordy Vogelaar dominated the first half of the feature event as he utilized his front row starting berth to take the top spot. By lap two Wolfgang had moved to the tenth position and when a yellow flag flew on lap ten he was running third.
When the race was restarted Wolfgang chose to run the high route and took the lead as he swept by the flag stand. He extended his lead at the finish as he collected $2,500 and his 56th career feature event win at the Marion County Fairgrounds. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 9 of 53
Randy Smith finished a strong second, Danny Lasoski took third, Jeff Tuttle claimed fourth and Shawn Moore was fifth. Jerry Janssen, John Sernett, Bob Weuve, Vogelaar and Max Dumesny formed the top ten finishers. A twenty minute rain delay was endured during the event.
Steve Breazeale won the limited sprint feature event as Mike Twedt and Kim Kennedy trailed at the checkereds.

Lady Luck Fills Lasoski’s Pockets with Cash at Knoxville’s Mini-Nationals by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (May 25) - Defending track champion Danny Lasoski was smiled upon by lady luck as he swept to a twenty-lap feature event win during the 19th annual Mini-Nationals at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
Australian Max Dumesny started on the pole and was in control of the race through two yellows and a red flag which was thrown for quick qualifier and heat event winner, Craig Keel. Dumesny resumed the top spot on each restart. As the swift Aussie came out of turn four to take the white flag he began to slow and Lasoski shot by him at the flag stand. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 11 of 53 Lasoski pulled away to take his 25th career feature event at Knoxville as well as a $2,750 payday. Randy Smith followed to the checkereds for $1,800 and Dumesny coasted to third, a victim of low fuel. Jeff Tuttle and Danny Young completed the top five finishers.
Mike Twedt led the distance to capture the feature event for limited sprints. It was Twedt's seventh here and paid the youngster $500. Dwight Snodgrass and Steve Breazeale trailed to the finish line.

Husband Beats Wife and Field at Knoxville by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (June 8) - Max Dumesny drove his own M.D. Motorsports Gambler to a convincing win at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. The win paid the Aussie pilot $2,500 and was his third career feature event win at the half-mile oval.

David Hesmer won his 15th career feature event in the limited sprint division. Bill Dusenbery and Dwight Snodgrass trailed to the checkered flag. Mark Wilson broke has shoulder blade in an accident during his heat race event.
During the afternoon, the second annual National Sprint Car Hall of Fame induction ceremonies were held on the fairgrounds. Eighteen new members were inducted at the affair.

Swindell Sets Record Straight at WoO Knoxville Prelim by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (June 21) - Sammy Swindell ran the ten mile distance in track record time to claim the World of Outlaws preliminary feature event at the Knoxville Raceway Friday night.
Swindell claimed each lap from his row one starting position as he used the low groove to advance his position on the track. By lap seven the swift Tennessee ace had entered lapped traffic and for virtually the remainder of the race he was able to keep a lapped car between himself and second place finisher Doug Wolfgang.
At the finish it was Swindell by 50 yards over the charging Wolfgang. The win paid the Volunteer State native $3,500 and marked his 35th feature event win at Knoxville, third on the all-time listing.
Steve Kinser finished a strong third, Mark Kinser took fourth and Stevie Smith was fifth. Rounding out the top 10 were Danny Lasoski, Dave Blaney, Bobby Davis, Jr., Jeff Swindell and Steve Beitler.
www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 17 of 53 Qualifying heat races went to Jeff Swindell, Greg Hodnett, Beitler and Joe Gaerte. Danny Thoman won the C- Feature and Mark Kinser took the B-Feature. Stevie Smith claimed the trophy dash.
In preliminary activities, a wedding on the front chute victory platform just after qualifying time trials saw Regi Pearson become Mrs. Josh Dorsey.

Wolfgang Comes Home to Knoxville for WoO Win by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (June 22) - Doug Wolfgang found the coming home to the Knoxville Raceway to be a rewarding experience as he captured the twenty-five lap World of Outlaws feature event at the Marion County Fairgrounds.
Steve Kinser out-dragged fellow row one starter Sammy Swindell down the front chute when the race began, to take the initial lead. Wolfgang fell right in behind the six-time Nationals Champion with Swindell in tow and the trio ran the cushion at an even spacing around the half-mile oval.
Kinser entered Lapped traffic by lap five and deftly picked his way through the back markers. On lap eleven Swindell popped a wheelie just out of turn two and lost an enormous amount of distance to the two front runners. Kinser and Wolfgang continued to run nose to tail with "Wolfie", a former Knoxville track champion, gaining steadily.
Lap twenty saw Kinser escape a near miss while leading when Australian Jaymie Moyle struck the fence between turns three and four right in front of him. Kinser was able to avoid the disaster with some quick maneuvering but was unable to hold Wolfgang at bay on the restart as the South Dakota native dove to the low side to grab the top spot.
The final laps saw Wolfgang pull away as he held the top spot through an additional yellow to win by fifty yards. The victory paid Wolfgang $8,200 and was his fifty-seventh career win here.
Kinser maintained his position to finish second, Swindell took third, Lasoski was fourth and Jeff Swindell posted fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Johnny Herrera, Mark Kinser, Randy Smith, Stevie Smith and Bobby Davis, Jr. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 19 of 53 An estimated crowd of eleven thousand also witnessed Knoxville Limited Sprint competition as David Hesmer captured his third feature in a row. The race was in the pocket of Dwight Snodgrass until the final circuit when his rear end let go and he coasted toward the finish line. Hesmer passed the hapless Snodgrass as did tail-end starter Craig Sunt.

Haudenschild by an Eye Wink at Knoxville by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (June 29) - Jac Haudenschild drove to an exciting win at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night to gain a victory by no more than a wink of an eye.
Australian Jaymie Moyle, who started on the pole of the 20-lap feature event took the lead at the outset and held the top spot until Haudenschild caught him at the stripe. Haudenschild, who came from a third row starting berth, dogged Moyle closely for most of the 10-mile distance.
Haudenschild appeared to fall back after the 15th circuit, but he then made a strong charge on the white flag lap. Coming out of turn four Moyle chose the high line and Haudenschild dove low to inch ahead as the twosome charged past the finish line. The win paid the Buckeye native $2,500.
Jeff Tuttle finished a close third, Randy Smith came from a twelfth starting spot to take fourth, and Danny Young was fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Max Dumesny, Shawn Moore, Bob Weuve, Jerry Richert Jr. and Skip Jackson.
Hometown driver Chris Walraven posted a popular win as he took his initial limited sprint feature event. Walraven made a white flag lap pass to take the victory. Craig Sunt, who held the lead the entire race to that point, finished second and David Hesmer was third.
In trackside ceremonies during the evening, four nominees were inducted into the Knoxville Raceway Hall of Fame. New members are Tom Corbin, Wayne Grett, Kermit Shaffer and Dale Drottz.

Haudenschild Captures Knoxville Twin Features by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (July 6) - Jac Haudenschild powered to double feature event wins at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. The victories paid the Buckeye native $5,000 total and made it four regular season victories in a row.
In the first 16-lap feature, Haudenschild led flag to flag and was never seriously challenged in the event. Chasing him to the checkereds were Danny Young, Jaymie Moyle, Randy Smith and Max Dumesny.
www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 23 of 53 With the second feature completely inverted, Haudenschild charged through the pack and grabbed the top spot on a lap 12 restart from race-long leader Pat Moore. Randy Smith additionally got by to pace second, Moore held for third, Moyle claimed fourth and Young was fifth.
David Hesmer and Dwight Snodgrass each captured feature event wins in the limited sprint division. Snodgrass and Mike Twedt trailed Hesmer to the stripe in the first twin twelve. In the inverted second feature, Archie Ergenbright finished a close second to Snodgrass with Twedt again finishing third.

Weuve Finds First-time Knoxville Winner’s Circle by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (July 13) - It was a long time coming for Bob Weuve but he charged to his first feature event win Saturday night at the Knoxville Raceway.
www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 25 of 53 Weuve, who owns his own sprinter, started on the front row of the 20-car field and guided the new chassis to the front on each of the 20 circuits. For much of the event he was challenged closely by John Sernett and Shawn Moore.
A red flag at the half-way point bunched the field for the restart but Weuve was able to hold his position and enjoyed a slight margin as he crossed the stripe for a $2,500 payday. Sernett trailed for second and Moore settled for third. Jeff Tuttle took fourth and Jerry Janssen was fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Randy Smith, Marlon Jones, Jaymie Moyle, Danny Young and Kevin Doty.
In limited sprint competition, Chris Walraven claimed his second feature event on the season. David Hesmer and Bill Dusenbery chased him to the checkereds.

Tuttle Beats the Moore Show at Knoxville by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (July 20) - Jeff Tuttle guided his sprinter to a 20-lap feature event win at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
Until the half-way point in the feature event, the name of the tune was the Moore show as brothers Pat and Shawn battled for the top spot. The brother act worked the half-mile oval in close quarters until Tuttle came into the fray and grabbed the top spot on lap eleven.
Once in front, Tuttle pulled away for the $2,500 win, his eighth career victory here. Pat finished in front of older brother Shawn for second and Australian Skip Jackson settled for fourth after exchanging the third spot during the latter stages of the race.
Trailing to the finish line were Kevin Doty, Marlon Jones, Jimmy Evans and subbing Jerry Richert Jr. for Jac Haudenschild, who was sidelined for an emergency appendectomy. Max Dumesny and Bob Weuve completed the top ten finishers. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 27 of 53
In the limited sprint feature, Mark Wilson won his second feature of the season for owner Bob Trostle. Dwight Snodgrass and Archie Ergenbright followed at the checkereds.

Steve Kinser Takes Knoxville WoO Pre-Nationals Warm-up by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (July 24) - Steve Kinser could be on another roll. The recently-crowned winner of the King's Royal collected another win as he swept to a 25-lap World of Outlaws pre-Nationals warm up victory at the Knoxville Raceway Wednesday night before a crowd estimated at 9,000.
Kinser raced to an immediate lead from his pole starting position in the Karl Kinser-prepared Maxim chassis. By lap five, the six-time Nationals champ had entered lap traffic with fellow front row starter Mark Kinser in close pursuit. A red flag on lap 10 when Jim Evans flipped, halted the race and bunched the field.
On the restart, Steve once again rode the cushion to hold the top spot, and as he re-entered lapped traffic on the 15th circuit, Mark was again on his back bumper with Sammy Swindell threatening to make it interesting.
As the top three diced through the heavy traffic, Steve was able to place back markers between himself and Mark and eventually he began to pull away to win by a comfortable margin and to gain a $5,200 payday.
Doug Wolfgang, an 11th row starter, came into contention late in the race but time and laps ran out and he had to settle for fourth behind Mark Kinser and Swindell. Jeff Swindell claimed fifth and fellow seventh row starter Danny Lasoski was sixth. Stevie Smith, Johnny Herrera, Bobby Davis, Jr. and Tommie Estes, Jr. formed the top 10 finishers.
Qualifying heats went to Frankie Kerr, Greg Hodnett, Skip Jackson, Jeff Swindell and Gary Wright. Mark Kinser paced the 56-car field in time trails with a qualifying lap of 16.150. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 29 of 53

Spaulding Enduro King by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (July 26) - Randy Spaulding of Knoxville endured two lengthy red flag periods to come across the finish line three laps ahead of his nearest competitor and $1,000 richer in the sixth annual Marion County Fair Enduro 200 at the Knoxville Raceway before a crowd estimated at 3,000.
The final stages of the event saw Spalding lose the lead to Mark Fee who exited late for fuel but was never able to re-enter as he lost his transmission on pit lane. Spaulding, who finished eleventh at last year's event, then went on to claim the win on the 136th lap when the two-hour time limit expired.
Dan Banker of Des Moines finished second and Fee of Knoxville settled for third. Montezuma's John Thompson took fourth and Congressman Dave Schrader of Monroe was fifth.
One hundred-five cars competed in the event.

Richert Jr. Skunks Knoxville Jinx by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (July 27) - Jerry Richert, Jr. ended a long dry spell at the Knoxville Raceway as he captured the 20-lap feature event during the Marion County Fair Saturday night.
Richert, who has been in the winning Guy Forbrook sprint car for only a week, led the event from the second lap and was closely challenged by track points leader Randy Smith. The duo pulled away from the balance of the field and ran against the fences on a track which turned hard and slick.
Lap 14 saw Smith drop from the event with mechanical problems allowing Richert to sail uncontested to his first win here since late in the 1989 season. The victory paid the second generation driver $2,500. Jaymie Moyle, Devin Doty, Jerry Janssen and Marlon Jones completed the top five finishers.
Steve Breazeale picked up his second Knoxville limited sprint win on the season after he took a lap six restart lead and pulled away for the $400 victory. Bill Dusenbery and Duane Van Heukelom drove to hard fought second and third place honors.
The racing action was not halted when a family of skunks paraded in the infield and grandstand areas.

Knoxville, Iowa (August 3) - Doug Wolfgang said he planned to stay closer to home this summer and much to the dismay of the regular competitors, he won the 20-lap feature event at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
Wolfgang, who additionally captured qualifying time trials and his heat event, took a lap nine lead with a low groove pass in turn one of race leader Kevin Doty. He then steered to his 58th career win on the Marion County Fairgrounds oval. The $2,500 victory came aboard a new compound Hoosier tire.
Placing second was Danny Lasoski, who additionally chose no to follow the World of Outlaws into the Pennsylvania area. Track points leader Randy Smith was third, Bob Weuve took fourth and Shawn Moore was fifth. Completing the top ten finishers were Mike Peters, Skip Jackson, Jeff Tuttle, Jerry Beeck Jr. and John Sernett.
David Hesmer won a milestone victory when he captured a division record 19th feature event in the limited sprints class.

“Crocodile” Dumesny Takes Final Knoxville Tune-up by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (August 10) - Australian Max Dumesny claimed the final Knoxville tune-up prior to Nationals as he swept to a 20-lap feature event win at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
Dumesny, who has become a Knoxville summer native, grabbed the lead on lap 10 from California visitor Jason McMillen. Dumesny then fought off the valiant challenges of Aussie Skip Jackson to take the $2,500 win.
Jackson held his second place position while Randy Smith drove from the tail of the 20-car field to take third. Jeff Tuttle and Jerry Janssen completed the top five finishers.
The start of the event saw a brutal four-car accident occur directly in front of the large frontstretch grandstand crowd. Once the dust had cleared, the cars of Keith Kauffman, Jaymie Moyle, Jerry Richert, Jr. and John Hall were eliminated. No injuries were reported.
In limited sprint competition, Steve Breazeale led flag-to-flag to claim his second feature event on the season. Mark Wilson and Walt Esch trailed to the finish line.

Steve Kinser Claims Wednesday Nationals Opener by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (August 14) - Six-time Knoxville Nationals champion Steve Kinser took the initial night of qualifications at the 31st annual Knoxville Nationals. Kinser additionally claimed qualifying time trials but motor problems in his heat race forced a runner-up finish in that event. However, his 497 accumulated points total did earn him the pole position for the championship feature on Saturday night.
In the opening night feature, Danny Smith claimed the first five laps from his second row starting birth. Kinser and Sammy Swindell were swapping the second place position much to the delight of the record opening night crowd.
Swindell, the 1983 champion, grabbed the top spot on lap six and began increasing his lead in his self-built chassis as he diced through lapped traffic. On the fifteenth circuit the Tennessee native suddenly slowed as he entered the backstretch and Kinser shot by for the lead and the $2,500 win. Swindell coasted to a stop on the infield grass the victim of ignition problems.
"Something major went wrong with Sammy's car. It just quit on him," Kinser said during his post-race interview. "It looked like he was going to win it. I think he might have been a little faster than us tonight. But a little luck came my way. Let's hope it stays with us on Saturday."
The 20-lap event continued nonstop and Swindell received last place in the final tally. The final five laps additionally saw Dave Blaney gain a runner-up finish from a 13rh position start as he fell nearly a half-lap short of the winning Kinser. Smith held down the third place spot and veteran Jack Hewitt claimed fourth.
A battle for Rookie of the Nationals honors saw Australian Skip Jackson and Pennsylvanian Paul Lotier finish fifth and sixth respectively. Joe Gaerte took seventh as B-Feature winner Donnie Kreitz, Jr. charged to eighth. Australian Max Dumesny and defending Nationals champion Bobby Allen rounded out the top ten.
Qualifying heat events went to Sam Rodriguez, Danny Young, Swindell, Jackson and Gary DeWall. 82 cars completed qualifying time trials.

Kenny Jacobs is a First Time Thursday Nationals Winner by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (August 15) - Kenny Jacobs became a surprise winner Thursday night at the 31st annual Knoxville Nationals when he held off a stellar field of nationals competitors to take the 20-lap feature event. The victory enabled him to earn enough points to grab the coveted outside row one starting position in the championship feature on Saturday night.
"It feels good to win a race at the famous Knoxville Raceway," Jacobs said in victory lane about his initial win on the half-mile oval. "I was so nervous those last couple of laps just waiting for something to break," Jacobs confessed. "Deuce Turrill made a couple of changes on that red. We just wanted to balance the car so it drove off both rear wheels instead of just the right rear. It was pretty easy to drive after that.
In the feature event, Jacobs was only able to take the lead on lap fourteen when a front chute wreck forced a restart. To that point, Johnny Herrera had taken command of the race and was setting the pace, but the violent Lee Brewer, Jr. flip brought the race to a halt and bunched the cars again in single file realignment
When the green flag again flew Jacobs dove to the low side of the track and took the lead from race-long front runner Herrera as they flew past the flag stand. Doug Wolfgang was able to get by Herrera as well despite having lost his power steering earlier in the event. Wolfie was never able to mount a serious threat for the lead in the remaining laps and settled for a runner-up finish. Herrera remained in the third place position.
www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 41 of 53 Defending Knoxville track champion Danny Lasoski finished fourth after a miserable start caused by a wheel banging incident relegated him near the back of the pack. Equally unfortunate was fifth place finisher Mark Kinser who spun out all by himself in turn four on lap eight as he too then reported to the rear of the field.
Jimmy Sills and Frankie Kerr took sixth and seventh respectively. Stevie Smith, a second place runner until a flat tire on lap eight forced him to the tail, finished eighth. Chris Eash was ninth and 1990 Nationals Rookie of the Year, Joey Kuhn completed the top ten finishers.
Qualifying heat races went to Kinser, Lasoski, Jacobs, and Gary Wright. Kuhn took the B feature as 84 cars came to the line for qualifying time trials before a huge grandstands crowd.

Friday National Events Completed on Saturday with Tommie Estes, Jr. a Winner by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (August 16 & 17) - Tommie Estes, Jr. celebrated his 33rd birthday as he led the entire 20-lap distance to take the rain-delayed Friday night non-qualifiers feature on Saturday afternoon
The unusual afternoon show came about as a result of a brief yet potent cloud burst after the fifth heat race on Friday night. Yet another record crowd had settled in for the evening before the rains came. Track officials made a valiant effort to work the dirt track back into racing condition with push trucks and race cars but called the event just after 2 a.m. when the half-mile oval appeared to be little better for the efforts.
Two false starts plagued the feature event as first Larry Neighbors barrel-rolled in turn one on the initial green. The second attempt start saw Keith Kauffman get tapped causing him to careen into the front stretch guardrail. The Kauffman sprinter was then struck hard by Billy Vielhauer and Garry Brazier. The third attempted start was a charm as pole sitter Estes, Jr. led flag to flag in a race reminiscent of the 1980 afternoon championship feature.
"Afternoon shows are really hard on everybody and the tires and everything. It's just a guessing game," an exhausted Estes said after his dusty win. "The race track wasn't very wide. It laid rubber down and there was only one groove."
Australian youngster Brooke Tatnell chased the leader the entire distance and settled for second. Minnesotan Gary Lusk took third, Greg Hodnett captured fourth and Ronnie Day finished fifth. Lou Kennedy, Jr., Jaymie Moyle, Leonard Lee, Sparky Howard and Dave Hollamon formed the top ten finishers. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 44 of 53
Capturing non-qualifier heat events on Friday were Estes, Jr., Kauffman, Jeff Swindell, Garry Brazier and Tatnell. Heat event winners on Saturday were Hodnett, Vielhauer and Day. Rick England won the C Feature and Nick Losasso was victorious in the B Feature.
The Race of States Feature and the Mystery Feature were canceled and the purse money ($32,000) offered for those races was divided among the 120 drivers ($266 each) who signed in and waited through the long night.

Steve Kinser Takes Seventh Nationals Title by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (August 17) - "The best one's the one you just won," was the way Steve Kinser described his seventh crown after winning the 31st annual NAPA Knoxville Nationals before 22,000 spectators at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
Kinser, whose first six titles came in 1980-81-82 and 1986-87-88 swept to the thirty-lap $50,000 victory in the Karl Kinser prepared No. 11 Maxim from the pole position. He was challenged only by fellow front row starter Kenny Jacobs after beating Jacobs to the first turn at the start of the event.
"The car's been running really super good the last two months. I have to thank Karl Kinser. We have a super team, "Kinser said in victory lane. "I just ran as hard as I could and everything felt pretty good until about the last ten laps when I started having trouble getting around the cushion."
Lap nineteen saw Jacobs make his only move for the top spot when he nosed ahead briefly in turns one and two as Kinser slowed behind lapped traffic. "I couldn't have caught him unless something drastic happened, but it didn't," Jacobs later said. Jacobs followed Kinser the entire 30-lap distance to finish 100 yards behind the winner as the checkereds fell at just past midnight. The runner-up position paid $25,000.
Only one caution slowed the event when on lap thirteen Dave Blaney hit the front stretch fence and lost a front wheel. All cars managed to miss the errant tire but Doug Wolfgang ran over it one lap later when the race had actually slowed under caution. The incident cut Wolfie's right front tire forcing him to the pits and relegating him to the tail once the race resumed.
Mark Kinser, who ran third for much of the event, finished in that position and collected $15,000. A spirited and late-race battle saw Sammy Swindell edge Johnny Herrera for fourth. Swindell received $10,000 and Herrera took home $9,000. Stevie Smith, Doug Wolfgang, Danny Smith, Jack Hewitt and Chris Eash formed the top ten finishers.
Four preliminary features were contested prior to the championship main event. Australian Brooke Tatnell won the E Main, the D Main went to Kenny McCarl and Kenny Hansen took the C Main. Frankie Kerr captured the 22-lap B Main as he transferred to the championship feature along with Joe Gaerte, Steve Beitler and Randy Smith. The Beitler pit crew received the Best Appearing Crew award while Paul Lotier was named 1991 Rookie of the Nationals for his 11th place finish in the National Championship race.

David Hesmer Takes Historic Knoxville Limited Nationals by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa (August 24) - Saturday night at the Knoxville Raceway was history in the making as David Hesmer of Marshalltown won the 1st Annual Big A Auto Parts Limited Sprint Nationals.
www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 47 of 53 The 25-lap event saw pole sitter Fran Bruns jump to an immediate lead at the outset of the event with Danny Young glued to his rear bumper. The twosome roared to a big lead as Bruns ran the high side of the half-mile oval and Young toured low.
Lap nine saw new track record holder Young drop off the pace on the back chute as he eventually fell from the event with a broken bird cage. On the restart, Bruns flew to a big lead again but lost it all when the yellow came out on lap 14 for a two-car incident on the front chute.
The restart saw Hesmer shoot to the cushion of the track as Bruns protected the low side. As they came past the flagstand Hesmer had the lead and Bruns appeared to be slowing. One lap later Bruns coasted to the infield having lost his engine.
The final stages of the event saw Mark Wilson challenge Hesmer and then on lap 21, tail-end starter Garry Lee Maier made his bid for the top spot. Maier shot to the low side of turns one and two with Hesmer on the cushion for two consecutive laps. The challenges were too little and too late as the high riding Hesmer was able to pull away on the chutes.
When the checkereds fell, Hesmer was 50 yards in front and the Action Auto Racing Team was $2,500 richer. Hesmer's American Challenge chassis sported a new Gaerte engine and was shod with Goodyear tires.
Maier finished second, Mark Wilson took third for Bob Trostle who participated in the Knoxville Nationals on 1961, Craig Sunt registered fourth, and tail-end starter Dwight Snodgrass claimed fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Larry Neighbors, Dean Chadd, Chad Mellenberndt, John Gerloff and Billy Bell.
As was the case in 1961, 58 cars went through qualifying time trials. A crowd estimated at 4,000 spectators witnessed the event.

Doug Wolfgang Closes Knoxville Raceway with a Win by Bob Wilson www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 49 of 53 Knoxville, IA – The 38th season of weekly racing concluded Saturday night at the Knoxville Raceway as Doug Wolfgang claimed the 25 laps season ending feature event.
For Wolfgang, the win marked victory number fifty-nine at the Marion County oval and although the Sioux Falls native led most of the distance, he was hounded for the duration by Jac Haudenschild.
The initial start saw a quick red flag for a back chute wreck, as four cars dropped from the event, including newly crowned track champion, Randy Smith. The track title was Smith’s sixth on Knoxville soil.
Once Wolfgang took the lead on lap three, he was able to hold the top spot as he moved through lapped traffic. Haudenschild, who is just now returning to racing after being away for a time due to surgery, closed the gap several times, but Wolfgang was able to put a lapped car between them on most circuits.
A restart on lap twenty-four, found Haudenschild unable to mount a threat as Wolfgang finished thirty yards ahead for the $2,750 win. Haudenschild settled for the $2,000 runner-up position. Haudenschild additionally won the Miller Dash for Cash to claim that $2,000 year ending event.
Australians Max Dumesny and Jaymie Moyle each came from the rear of the twenty car field to claim third and fourth positions, and pole-sitter Jeff Tuttle was fifth. Brent Antill, Taylor Weld, Bob Weuve, Marlon Jones and Rich Bubak formed the top ten finishers.
In limited sprint competition, Dwight Snodgrass claimed his seventh Knoxville career feature event win. The victory clinched the track title for Snodgrass, who became the ninth different titlist in as many years. Walt Esch and Billy Dusenbery trailed the victor to the checkered flag. David Hesmer, who one week ago won the initial Limited Nationals, wrecked on the first lap and was unable to compete.
