All Star Sprint Race Results - Sharon (OH) Speedway - Fri. 4/28/00 By Scott Hall

HARTFORD, OH - Kenny Jacobs used his years of experience at Sharon Speedway and passed Kasey Kahne Friday night to win the All Star sprint 30-lap feature, thrilling a packed grandstand of Sharon race fans. He earned $5,000 for his first win of the season aboard the Jacobs/Honaker Motorsports Kriner-Chevrolet powered Eagle chassis. "Barry Jackson and Aaron Hammer worked hard tonight," Jacobs said of his crew from victory lane. "Goodyear went to work and built us a new tire and I got lucky and got one of them tonight and it made a heck of a difference. I could run inside or outside, it was fun tonight." Kahne started on the ButlerBuilt Hot Seat pole position, with Chad Kemenah alongside and Rodney Duncan and Jacobs in row two. Dave Calaman and Frankie Kerr made up row three for the start. Following an aborted start after Jarod Larson spun following contact with Danny Smith, Kahne grabbed the lead on the restart of the event with Smith restarting on the rear after changing a flat tire. Kahne led over Kemenah, Jacobs and Kerr. Into lapped traffic on lap five, Jacobs closed on Kemenah and made the pass for second on lap seven exiting turn four. Now Jacobs set his sights on the leader Kahne, and the duo were nose to tail on lap 11 with Kemenah third and Kerr fourth with Dean Jacobs fifth. Lap 13 saw Kenny try a slide job on Kahne in turn four, but the move did not stick. A lap later, Jacobs dove under Kahne in turn three and this time the move worked and he assumed the lead over Kahne, Kemenah, Kerr, D. Jacobs and Rodney Duncan. Jacobs began pulling away slightly from Kahne, steadily increasing his lead until a caution flew on lap 24 when D. Jacobs flattened a right rear tire and spun, ending up against the wall with Byron Reed also stopping against the wall. K. Jacobs pulled away to a full straightaway lead over Kahne as the green reappeared and the laps wound down before another stoppage on lap 27 for a red flag. The accident started when Tommy Quarterson flipped, with Brad Ellenberger and Craig Rankin were also involved. Kenny pulled away easily from Kahne for the final three circuits, winning by a quarter of a lap. Kahne was second at the finish with Kerr, who got around Kemenah on lap 21 third, and Kemenah's Gambler fourth. Duncan was fifth with eighth starting Jimmy Hawley a consistent sixth. Kahne, after his runner-up finish, said, "Once Kenny got by me our car started going away a liltle. We tightened it up under the red and we were pretty good again, but we had to get by those lapped cars and that took a little time." Kelly Kinser finished seventh, winning the Team Simpson Racing Lucky Seven award and the TW Metals $100 nightly bonus after starting 11th in a rare Sharon appearance. Dean Jacobs, Byron Reed and Greg Wilson finished out the top ten. The heats went to Phil Gressman, Smith, Kinser and Dean Jacobs with Dave Calaman the B Main winner. Greg Wilson captured the Commercial Truck & Trailer Dash and Kerr set quick time over the 36 car field with a 15.764 clocking. Time Trials: 1. Frankie Kerr, Shoff 23s, 15.764; 2.
