It was only a matter of time before Steve Kinser returned to a World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series victory lane. The 20-time WoO champion restored order Saturday night at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa. Kinser dominated the 30-lap A-Feature in the Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) No. 11 Bass Pro Shops/J.D. Byrider/Chevrolet Maxim to score his first triumph of 2012 and end a streak of 27 races without a victory. Things didn’t go as well for TSR’s Donny Schatz, who was involved in an accident late in the race and was credited with his first DNF (Did Not Finish) of the season.
