Kinser Tells Despain New Management Makes the Difference
Following up on a story we first brought you early Saturday, Steve Kinser, a co-owner in the National Sprint Tour, is leaving that series to return to the World of Outlaws in 2007.
Kinser appeared in a taped phone interview on Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain on SPEED Sunday night. He told Despain that he is returning to the WoO because of a change in management from a year ago. Kinser said in the interview that he knows that by leaving, he is loosing his money that he invested in the almost one year old series but he added that he has no regrets. He also talked with Dave Despain about some of the topics we first brought you in our story Saturday. http://openwheeler.blogspot.com/2006/11/breaking-down-kinser-and-lasoski.html The new information from the Wind Tunnel interview was that Steve Kinser Racing is returning to the World of Outlaws because DIRT Motorsports has hired “guys that understand racing and have a love for the sport.”
Just another note on tonight’s Wind Tunnel... The program was a wrap up of the 2006 racing season and included some great and funny highlights.
Oh yea, Robin Miller made his case for Open Wheel racing on it. You can see it when it reairs at 12am and 10am eastern Monday morning. On that same note Racing Incorporated reairs from 3-5pm eastern also on Monday.
Johnson Champion, Kahne and Edwards in the Top 10
Jimmy Johnson didn’t win but he finished good enough Sunday night at Homestead Speedway to win the Nextel Cup. Kasey Kahne started on the pole and had a solid run that saw him finish 4th. Carl Edwards also had a good run finishing 8th. The story wasn’t so pretty for other Open Wheelers.
Robby Gordon got loose and hit the wall in turn 4 on lap 190.
Ryan Newman got together with Juan Pablo Montoya.
Several laps later Newman got back at Montoya sending the NASCAR newcomer for a spin and fiery wreck.
Montoya walked away unhurt and Newman was called to the NASCAR trailer following the race.
JJ Yeley skipped a pit stop to take the lead but ran out of gas with just a few laps to go.
Greg Biffle won the race but Kasey Kahne led the most laps. Jimmy Johnson won the championship while his co-owner Jeff Gordon finished 6th, Kasey Kahne 8th and Tony Stewart beat Carl Edwards by 299 points for 11th place and the million dollar bonus.
