The weekend of racing with the All Stars starts at 1-96 Speedway Michigan. The retiring Outlaws Legend Steve Kinser traveled to Michigan with his Bad Buggies TSR Team for three nights with the ASCoC.
Facing Kinser was the challenge to end the 5 race winning streak of Dale Blaney.The All Stars are a for formidable group of racers.
Victory for Kinser at 1-96 with the All Stars
Kinser started the night perfectly with fast time during qualifying and top three finishers in his heat and the dash.
The King started out of position three and was gifted the top spot in the opening lap when pole sitter Dustin Dugget drove off the Speedway. You don’t offer up early chances to Kinser and expect not to pay the price .Out in front, that what the fans came to see, Kinser was in command.
Young “Hud”, Sheldon Haudenschild was up for the challenge but was not able to peg the veteran back; lapped traffic and four late race cautions were never going to be the advantage that Hudenschild needed
Kinser raced to the victory, his 37th career ASCoC win joining Danny Lasoski and Doug Wolfgan in a tie for the 12th position on the all time list of UNOH All Stars list winners.
Win 37 was extra special as it ended the 5 race winning streak of Dale Blaney.
Steve Kinser “ I just want to thank my entire crew” said Steve Kinser, “They gave me a great car here tonight and it was fantastic to drive. Even when we got caught up in traffic, we were able to drive right through it. Just a great night all together for us.”

Steve Kinser’s car ready at Bulter
Night two of the Michigan tour was at Bulter Speedway and it looked like for 29 laps being a repeat of Kinser’s 1-9 win .Starting the night with his 1-96 form Kinser won his heat and the dash but the King would not be able to hold back the last lap charge by Caleb Griffith. This would be Caleb’s second UNON All Star win and his first All Start win in 2015 .The Ohio based racer collected a cool US$5,000 for his effort .
Caleb Griffith “ I’ve been watching Steve Kinser race since I was five or six years old” said Caleb Griffith, “To get around him like that for the win is pretty big. I think I’ve only been here (Butler Speedway) twice. We ran second the first time and we won here tonight. I love coming here.”
