Steve Kinser Good Quotations

I was glad to see Kraig win the Nationals the other night, ... I probably would have given him a pretty good race if I wouldn't have crashed (in a preliminary race).

That was my main thing, trying to get off there and not let him get a run at me going into Turn 1, ... The only lap I messed up was the first lap on the restart. I went in and missed the bottom a little bit. It was a little slow, but it wasn't too bad. After that I caught it pretty good the last four laps. I knew I was getting through there good enough. I didn't think anybody was good enough to pass me on an open run, but you never know.

We used to run a lot of them back home when I first started, ... I can run terrible on them or I can run good on them.

I made a mistake but it turned out to be a good thing because it gave me more experience working the draft,

I had a pretty good car, ... I got a little bottled up in Turns 1 and 2 a few times, but I think everybody was getting up there and getting tight. If you hit it wrong it would wad you up a little bit. Then I got to where I could work the bottom in Turns 3 and 4 and I had two grooves to work when we got to lapped cars. I had a pretty good way to go then.

It was a good racetrack, a fun racetrack. You could move around on it. There was more than one groove on it.

The heck with the preliminaries, I want to win the main nights, ... We've been pretty good all the time. We keep plugging away in the top two or three in every show so that helps a lot.

You can't run over the top of them, ... They're down in the fast part of the groove and racing themselves. The car was working good to where I could keep a little momentum. I would miss it once in a while and lose a little bit, but when I'd catch it right I could stay with them and get a run at them and get back in front of them.

I caught the bottom there in Turns 1 and 2 and was running pretty good when everybody was slinging that stuff off of the bottom,

I definitely have to work on a few things -- my restarts, going through the gears and coming in and out of pit road. We now have 200 miles under our belt that we never had before. It was a good start and I am ready to do it again.
