Tim Sauter starts off his 1999 ASA championship season by scoring his
first win on the tour. Sauter had been a regular in the series since
late 1996.

This was also the ASA series' second and final race at Florida's DeSoto
Speedway.

Rick Johnson, Tristan Dupuis, Derrick Gilchrist, Ken Alexander, Doug
Greig, and Don Thomas all make their ASA debuts, Gilchrist and Dupuis
would go on to be winners in the series.

Tim Sauter's first ASA win came at the expense of Rick Beebe. A late
spin by Ken Alexander set up a three-lap shootout to settle this one.
Beebe led the first lap but blew a tire going into Turn 1 on the second
lap, sliding up the track and into the wall as Sauter then sped past.
The right front tire came off Beebe's car as he drove away but this
surprisingly DID NOT bring out a yellow. Sauter nailed the tire on the
last lap but still held off Mike Garvey for the win. Beebe still
finished eighth despite running on just three wheels.

The 1999 ASA season was a little notable for how much longtime series
talent was gone from the tour. This was the series' first race in more
than a decade without either Bob Senneker or Mike Eddy in the field,
Senneker dialed back to running just a few races as he prepared for
retirement while Eddy spent much of the season on the sidelines with
sponsor issues. Scott Hansen also left the series as he moved up to Ken
Schrader's NASCAR Truck series team. Some younger talent also moved off
the tour as Adam Petty also moved up to Busch series while Peter
Cozzolino changed over to the CRA Super Series.
