Kinser Wins Budwiser 40 at Fremont

By Scott Hall and Brian Liskai

FREMONT, OH - Kelly Kinser of Bloomington, Ind., made it three different winners in three
Ohio Speedweek events Tuesday night at Fremont Speedway in the Arizona Sport
Shirt All Star Ohio Sprint Speedweek "Budweiser 40" feature. The event paid
Kinser $6,000 for his second win of the year. John Ivy of Fremont started 12th and
finished second, using the track's spec Goodyear tire on the right rear of
his Carousel Racing No. 20.

Chad Kemenah and Byron Reed started on the front row with Kinser and
Shane Stewart in row two. Kinser led Kemenah by a nose on lap one when the
first of two cautions for the evening appeared for a Jim Linder and Danny
Smith spin. Smith restarted on the tail and Linder exited. Reed led again
under green with Kinser second ahead of Stewart and Kemenah. Once Reed
entered lapped traffic in the Reebar Die Casting Maxim, Kinser closed on him
in his familiar low groove. Kinser nosed ahead on lap 14, and once by Reed,
he pulled ahead slightly as Stewart followed Kinser past Reed. Stewart was
using the high groove, cutting into Kinser's lead each lap.

Kinser led by a wheel on lap 17 over Stewart, and only by a nose on lap
18. At the half way point, Kinser still led by a car length over Stewart,
Reed, Mike Wagner, Dale Blaney, Kenny Jacobs and Ivy.
As Kinser expertly sliced through lapped traffic in the low groove,

Wagner and Blaney battled furiously for fourth. On lap 26 Wagner and Blaney
banged wheels, allowing Ivy to get past them both for the number four spot.
Ivy then moved in on Reed as Stewart began slowing slightly each lap as his
right rear tire was losing air. Ivy ducked around Reed for second as
Stewart's tire exploded, ending his run and setting up a five lap dash to
the finish once Stewart was towed off.

With four lapped cars after the leader Kinser, it took Ivy two laps to
clear them and try to move in on Kinser, but the checkered fell as time ran
out on Ivy. Kinser's margin of victory was half a straightaway.
"I was worried about my tire sealing up," Kinser recalled after the event
was over. "I was trying to keep it a little bit warm under the yellow. We've
finally got this Eagle car figured out." Kinser's machine utilized Gaerte
power and rode Hoosier tires.

"I watched my cousin Brian (Smith) in the C Main and then we threw on the
spec tire and figured 'what do we have to loose?' We figured 'let's try it'
and here we are," Ivy said with a smile from the runnerup spot.

After Reed in third was Blaney, Wagner, Jacobs, Joe Gaerte up from 17th,
Paul McMahan who started tenth, Kemenah and 14th starter Rodney Duncan.
The Crown Battery heat fell to Dale Blaney, the B&B Products heat went to
Mike Wagner, the Engler Machine and Tool heat was won by Chad Kemenah and
the TP Wings heat fell to Shane Stewart with the fifth heat to Joe Gaerte.
Brian Smith won the Georgia Marketing & Promotions C Main and Butch
Schroeder won the United Aluminum Window Sales & Consulting B Main. Byron
Reed captured the Haulmark Dash while fast time by Blaney was worth $50,
