Stewart Wins Texas IROC

Steve Kinser Goes for a Ride

The King was not as lucky as Stewart.

Scott Sharp in the No. 08 was on the high side when Max Papis in the No. 16 bumped Sharp.

Papis then came down the track,

Striking Steve Kinser in the No. 11 in the rear,

and sending the

20 time World of Outlaws champion flipping down

the Texas Motor Speedway backstretch.

The wild ride, not of his own making,

was the second one in two IROC races this season. Kinser slid on his roof in a scary wreck at Daytona earlier this season. Thankfully, the King walked away again from a terrible IROC accident.
