The NASCAR All-Pro Series kicks off its 1996 season with a short track
race at Volusia County Speedway on the same weekend as the Daytona 500
(This race was run the day before the big one), this short track being
located only about 30 miles from the super speedway. Rookie Steven
Christian kicks off his first full-time season on the tour with a
runner-up finish.

Judging by the results the end of this one must have been wild. Freddie
Query had the dominant car but it appears got crashed or spun late
allowing (the now disgraced) Rick Crawford to get by, lead the last two
laps, and pick up the first of his career-high three wins this season.
It'd put money a chrome horn was involved in the finish of this one
somehow...

Wisconsin ASA racer Matt Kenseth gets DQed and ends up last.

Steven Christian was in the #0 BellSouth Chevy for this race, and I feel
pretty confident in saying that was the case for the rest of his 1996
All-Pro season as well.

Kenseth was DQ'd for unapproved carburetor modifications.

Freddie Query was black flagged for rough driving but refused to serve
his penalty, and after his grace period expired his scorecard was pulled
for the last two laps. Not sure if that should alter his status or not.
Query insisted that politics were in play here, surmising that the
officials were less lenient on him because he ran in the Hooters late
model series, the predecessor of the Hooters Pro Cup series.

Crawford's winnings - $8,250
