McCOOL JUNCTION, Neb. – After a crazy Saturday night at Knoxville, things returned to normal for the National Sprint Tour Monday night, Aug. 14 at Junction Motor Speedway.
In other words, Tim Kaeding won with Danny Lasoski and Steve Kinser close behind.
Lasoski started from pole and led early in the 30-lap main. The lead lasted until lap 15, when Kaeding trapped Lasoski in traffic to grab the lead.
“It’s sometimes better to be in second,” Lasoski said. “Tim did a good job there. He got me caught behind traffic. I wasn’t aware it was that good up high.”
Neither was Kaeding.
“I really didn’t think the top was going to be that good,” said Kaeding, who went on to claim his 12th win in the 30th race of the season. “I wanted to get some momentum up. I got lucky, because it stuck up there.”
Kaeding was glad to see Lasoski mired in traffic.
“Traffic can help out big time,” Kaeding said. “We’ve got 12 wins. Unbelievable. I just wish those two guys (Lasoski and Kinser) would have a bad night.”
As it was, both Lasoski and Kinser battled up front yet again. Kinser got by Lasoski for second on lap 20, though Lasoski regained the position for good on lap 28 while Kinser was third. Dean Jacobs posted his first top-five NST finish with a fourth, while Wayne Johnson was fifth.
Rounding out the top-10 were Jason Meyers, Shane Stewart, Kyle Hirst, Jason Solwold and Travis Rilat.
Even with the lead, Kaeding was aware it was anything but safe with Kinser breathing down his neck late.
“You can’t ever count Steve out,” Kaeding said. “That’s why he’s The King.”
Kinser, meanwhile, had his hands full both with his tires and Lasoski.
“I just didn’t make it,” Kinser said. “There’s not much to tell. They laid rubber. I killed my tires and got real loose. Again.”
