GLORY DAYS: Hall Of Famer Bob Kinser

Bob Kinser may be as famous for being the father of drivers Steve and Randy Kinser as he was for his own prowess on the race track.

The elder Kinser won 29 track or sanctioning body championships and more than 400 sprint car features during a career that spanned more than 40 years.

He was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame. His sons, Steve and Randy, and his grandson, Kraig, were among his protegés.
