I'd look for SKR to field 2 cars next year... And don't worry he'll be a force on the track when he gets back with the SKR crew... Posted via Mobile Device

Yeah those were pretty good accolades 4 or 5 years ago. How many wins did he have this year? Oh yeah, none. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to knock anyone. His dad is one of my favorite sprint car drivers of all time but when you drive for TSR, have sponsors like Chevy, Bass Pro Shops and Armor All just making the a main probably isn't enough.

I don't believe that Kraig ever attained the confidence/comfort level in either NAPCAR or at TSR that he had with his Dad's team. He hasn't shown much success in anything other than a SKR ride. Not a criticism, just an observation. He's one the the politest young men that I have ever met.
I think what Jrp4554 is tryin to say is if he wasnt steve kinser' son would he have even made it to WoO. Great guy and all not a bad racer but I happen to believe that if it werent for his last name he wouldnt have even came close to land a "big" ride in WoO if any at all....let alone the pavement stuff.

Your right it's not like he won the Knoxville Nationals or anything big...oh wait he did... Your only going to win if you trust the guys turning wrenches on your car, I don't think he had that in the NASCAR ride or with his latest WOO, I don't think they gave him the best opertunity in the truck equipment wise anyways, didn't Crocker get the good stuff...

Hearing rumors that either Jason Solwold or Tyler Walker will be the new driver of the 20 car next year. Not saying he'll make it a winner but Walker will get everything he can get out of that ride.
