WOO: Rain Postpones Outlaw Feature

16 April 1999

BLOOMINGTON, IN - Brownsburg's Joey Saldana crushed the track record, and Steve Kinser worked his way into the pole position, before a steady drizzle washed out the remainder of the Pennzoil World of Outlaws program at Bloomington Speedway tonight. The Outlaws finished the B-Main just before the rain hit.

To complete the program, the Pennzoil World of Outlaws will schedule a future race at Bloomington, and run tonight's "A" feature at the beginning of that event. Since the World of Outlaws consider the completion of qualifying, heat races and the B-Main a complete program, rain checks will not be honored. But all fans coming into the next event will see two "A" feature races for the single event price. At the time of this release, the new race date had not been set.

Saldana's 9.388 second tour of Bloomington's quarter-mile clay oval lopped more than .3 off the mark he set last October. Saldana led 24 qualifiers under the 10 second time. Sammy Swindell, Jac Haudenschild, Jimmy Carr and Steve Kinser won NAPA heat races. When Kinser also earned the win in the Channellock Dash, he reserved the pole starting spot for the "A" feature. Saldana and Craig Dollansky claimed the "B" and "C" Mains.

Don Short, Lee Hobbs and Denny Campbell won heat races in the WalMart Tire & Lube Express Street Stock Division. The street stock program will be completed during Bloomington Speedway's next race, on May 7.
