Bloomington Speedway -- May 26 & June 2 Racing Programs
www.bloomingtonspeedway.com STEVE KINSER RETURNS TO BLOOMINGTON SPEEDWAY ON FRIDAY, JUNE 2 BLOOMINGTON, IN (May 21) - Although Steve Kinser lives only a couple of miles away from the red clay of Bloomington Speedway, it's been seven years since he raced there. All spring he has been looking forward to the opportunity to again race in front of his friends and neighbors. Whenever Steve rolls onto the track, he is the heavy favorite to win; and it is pretty certain that he will have a bigger edge on the red clay. It so happens that June 2nd is Steve's birthday; and we will be trying to help make this is favorite birthday party ever. Steve's father, Bob Kinser, will be the Grand Marshall of the event. Also, Larry Crane will present a concert beginning when the gates open and continuing until hot laps. However, as heavy a favorite as Steve is, he is by no means a lock. As a matter of fact, he is currently only fourth in the National Sprint Tour points. But, Steve's other car, driven by Tim Kaeding, leads the points. Kaeding is trailed by Jason Meyers, Danny Lasoski, Steve, Tim Shaffer, Jason Sides, Jason Solwold, Paul McMahan, Brian Paulus, and Shane Stewart. In addtion to the National Sprint Tour regulars it is likely that a number of the World of Outlaws competitors will show up to get in an extra race as they are idle on June 2nd and run at Eldora on June 3rd.. In addition to those who travel with the National Sprint Tour and the World of Outlaws, it is certain that many of those who race with the All Star Circuit of Champions and other regional series will also show up. Sharing the program with the winged sprint cars will be non winged sprint cars. With the large fields of cars that have been unloading every week, the pits should be full of sprint cars. Some might think that they've made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up in Knoxville, Iowa in August. Kevin Briscoe advised that he intended to bring both a winged car and his regular non winged car and race both programs. Other of our regular competitors are likely to run both ways as well. Mike Miles always tries to book a winged show to add some variety to our schedule; however, this should be the best winged sprint program that we've had in years. The National Sprint Tour feature will pay $10,000 to win and $1,000 to start; and the non winged feature will pay $2,000 to win. Pit gates will open at 4:30 PM, the grandstand gates will open at 5:30 PM, hot laps will start at 6:30 PM, and racing will begin at 7:30 PM. General admission is $30 for this event (children eight and under are admitted free to the grandstand when accompanied by a paying adult). and pit admission is $40. Coolers are permitted; but glass containers aren't. Overnight camping is also permitted. For advance General Admission Tickets, Call 812-275-8464 (Monday - Friday 8 to 5)
