Kinser Restores World of Outlaws Pride with Morgan Cup Victory
The King dominates features at Williams Grove, tightens championship points race
MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — May 12, 2012 — Steve Kinser cruised to a pair of victories Saturday at a packed and rowdy Williams Grove Speedway, first snapping his 27-race winless streak with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and later claiming the Morgan Cup on behalf of the series.
Kinser, the World of Outlaws career wins leader, entered the event with only five feature laps led this season. That changed dramatically as he led the final 23 laps of the $12,000-to-win main event and then dominated all 12 laps of the Morgan Cup – a race featuring five World of Outlaws drivers and five Pennsylvania Posse drivers in a showdown about bragging rights, a sterling silver trophy and an additional $4,000 prize.
“We had been running top fives, but hadn’t been able to get to Victory Lane,” Kinser said. “We got two tonight.”
It was his 571st World of Outlaws feature win and 38th total Outlaws victory at the famed half mile. Both numbers are more than double the next closest driver.
Top 10 in Grove Opener for Dollansky
More racing with the ‘PA Posse’ continued on Friday for the Big Game Treestands #7 team as they took on the tough local competition for the first of six scheduled events at Williams Grove Speedway where Craig Dollansky finished eighth in the most recent event at the ½-mile last October.

Rahmer Rallies in Outlaws Season Debut at Williams Grove
Pennsylvania legend passes Hodnett for lead with five laps to go to claim the opener
MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — May 11, 2012 — To say Fred Rahmer knows his way around Williams Grove Speedway is an understatement.
Since claiming the 1986 Rookie of the Year, Rahmer has amassed eight track championships en route to becoming the winningest driver in Williams Grove history. He added to that list on Friday and picked up his fifth career World of Outlaws feature victory in front of a packed crowd on Night 1 of a weekend doubleheader at the historic paper-clip half-mile oval.
“Any time you get a win against this group, plus our local guys, it’s a good win,” Rahmer said. “When you respect somebody as much as most of the guys around here respect (the Outlaws), it feels really good. It’s tough to put a whole night together and end up standing here in the winner’s circle.”
