First race in Winston All Pro Series history. This series came about as
a result of a merger between the All Pro Super Series and the NASCAR All
American Challenge. Unfortunately, results for those series are both
extremely poor and usually have no more than the winners.

In fitting fashion Bobby Gill wins the first race over Jody Ridley.
Ridley and Gill would wage arguably the greatest championship battle in
auto racing history in 1992, with the title coming down to 1 point and
Ridley winning in a last race comeback.

I can't believe what I'm looking at. I never thought we'd see the
All-Pro series on this site. I didn't even know they were complete.
Here's to some great short track action. Atta Boy Alex for putting these
results together!

Notice some of the huge names: Bobby Gill, Jody Ridley, Steve
Holzhausen, Junior Niedecken, Rick Crawford, etc.

Actually I think the All-American Challenge series has full results
avalible, there just super bare bones.

12th caution - 44, 77 accident backstretch
15th caution - 40, 93 spun turn 4

Pole speed - 103.272 mph

Gill's winnings - $7,000

Attendance - 4,000

Jamie Prell won the pole but didn't get much of a chance to go anywhere
with it. On the first restart of the day, he missed a shift and broke
the transmission, killing any chance at winning the race. Prell logged a
few more laps before ending his day before even reaching the halfway mark.

DC:
19 - Scotty Lovelady - Lovelady Racing - Chevrolet

Scotty Lovelady easily had the most painful start to the 1991 season.
Lovelady ended the weekend in the hospital instead of the driver's seat
due to a particularly nasty bout with kidney stones.

DNQs (did not advance from heat races, listed by qualifying time, along
with original time trial standing):
41. Lee Faulk (22nd)
42. Joey Sims (37th)
43. David Ridling (38th)
44. Scott Bass (41st)
45. Robby Johnson (44th)
46. Ron McDonald (46th)
47. Guy Thomas (47th)
48. Kristal Loescher (48th)
49. Tony Anderson (49th)

Despite prerace concerns from some drivers that the heat races would be
disasters that tore up good cars and left deserving drivers on the
sidelines, most of the cars that went home early were near the bottom of
the qualifying times as you can see. Tough break for Lee Faulk, though,
however I can't find if he had a mechanical issue or crash in his heat,
or if he just finished too far back to advance.

Is anyone aware of a source (web page, book, etc) that chronicles the
history, and demise, of the All Pro Series?
