On
Saturday, The Big Game Treestands #7 team headed to a track that's no
stranger to Dollansky, Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana where
'The Crowd Pleaser' had won 2 of the last 4 contests and finished in the
top ten every year since 2004.
With
33 sprinters in the pit area it didn't take Dollansky long to find his
groove at the 1/4-mile as he posted the fastest lap in qualifying with a
time of 11.616 seconds and the 1st Fast Time Award of the season. "It
was good to start the night out with quick time which put us in a good
position for the rest of the night", commented Dollansky. In the first
heat race the Aggressive Hydraulics Maxim started outside of row two and
finished 4th to earn a spot in the dash race. Being the fastest
qualifier meant the dash race inversion would determine Dollansky's
starting spot in the 8-lap event. With the six pill inversion drawn,
Dollansky gaining a couple of positions in the race and finishing 4th.
Set
to do battle on the highbanked bullring, the Karavan Trailers #7 lined
up 4th for the A-Main. After a caution on lap 5, Dollansky used a
strong restart to work past Dale Blaney and into third. Working the low
line, 'The Crowd Pleaser' moved into second position just before the
midpoint of the race and set his sights on leader Donny Schatz.
Dollansky continued to close the gap on Schatz and would use a strong
run off of turn 2 on lap 22 and power into the lead. The #7 would set
sail the remaining 18 laps as even a few cautions with three laps to go
wouldn't deny Dollansky the checkered flags as he went on to his 4th
victory of the 2010 season. "From the start of the night we had a great
car and got better as the race went on", said Dollansky who picked up
his 3rd win in 5 attempts at Tri-State. "It was my first night with DJ
Lindsey as my sole crew chief and I'm just happy to be back together
with him. We had been doing some testing with some different components
going into next year and we feel good about things and know where we
want to go for next year. It had been awhile since I had a car working
like that and fortunately we were able to capitalize on it."
When
asked about what it takes to win Dollansky is quick to note the great
support that surrounds the #7 team. "I'm happy for the entire team to
get a win, we got a good team here starting with our car owner Tod
Quiring of Big Game Treestands to Scott Boyd of Karavan Trailers and
Paul Johnson of Aggressive Hydraulics. We're going down to Charlotte
with everything we got to finish the year out strong and hopefully get a
couple more wins!"
The
World of Outlaws schedule takes a couple weeks off before all eyes turn
to The Dirt Track at Charlotte for the season-ending World Finals
November 4-6.
