Kraig Kinser (born October 8, 1984) is an American professional racing driver. He was previously adevelopmental driver forMB2 Motorsports/Ginn Racing, and while with them, competed in both theNASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and theARCA Re/Max Series between 2005 and 2007.
He is the son of the championWorld of Outlaws sprint car racerSteve Kinser, as well as the fourth cousin of WoO competitorMark Kinser.
In 2005, he won theKnoxville Nationals, the most prestigioussprint car race in the world. The same year, he made hisARCA debut with Fast Track Racing in a partnership withMB2 Motorsports (the team he was a developmental driver for), and in just his second career start (which came atTalladega Superspeedway), he won a race.
In2006, he started the season running full-time for Rookie of the Year in theCraftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 47Chevrolet Silverado forMorgan-Dollar Motorsports. However, two races into the season, that truck changed numbers for the following two races to the No. 29, where Morgan-Dollar usedK Automotive Racing's owner points to make the field. For the rest of the year after that, Kinser's truck used the No. 46. He was pulled from the ride in some races towards the end of the season, and now was sharing it with three Chevy Cup Series drivers:Clint Bowyer,Joe Nemechek, andDenny Hamlin. Also during that year, MB2 becameGinn Racing after a change in ownership. Kinser also returned to ARCA again for one race atIowa, driving a No. 36 car for Ginn, where he would go on to finish second in that race.
He returned to the Truck Series in2007, driving the No. 47 for Morgan-Dollar. He was originally slated to share this truck with fellow Ginn developmental driverJesus Hernandez, but this never happened after Ginn merged withDale Earnhardt Inc. mid-season, and Kinser was replaced byRegan Smith, meaning he did not complete the season for the second straight year.
In 2008, he was back running Sprint cars forTony Stewart's prestigious team. He raced with them until the end of the 2009World of Outlaws season. In 2010, he drove for his dadSteve Kinser's team withQuaker State sponsorship under the number 11K. For 2011, he drove the Casey's General Store Maxim for the Parsons Motorsports team.
As of July 6, 2017, Kraig has 17 World of Outlaw feature wins, placing him 24th all-time.[citation needed]
