Looking Ahead to Knoxville!
Craig
Dollansky and the rest of the World of Outlaws ventured to Kansas this
past weekend for two of four scheduled events in 2011 in 'The Sunflower
State'. The first event on Friday marked the series first appearance
since 1981 at the ultra-fast Belleville High Banks followed by their
annual stop at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City.
Friday’s
program began with 'The Crowd Pleaser' turning the 5th fastest lap in
time trials and recording the first dash victory of the season for the
Big Game Treestands #7 team. In the feature, Dollansky raced Paul
McMahan for the lead but finished a strong 2nd. Saturday’s program
featured the Outlaws second consecutive weekend of racing next to the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series who were competing at Kansas Speedway. Another
strong qualifying performance put the Aggressive Hydraulics Maxim 2nd
quick and transferred through the heats to finish seventh in the dash.
In the feature Dollansky kept the strong results going by finishing 8th. 
Although
the team suffered two DNF’s after leading the most laps during the
opening weekend back in February, the Big Game Treestands #7 team led by
DJ Lindsey and the 'Dollansky Duo' of Troy and Luke continue to battle
back each night and now climb into the top five in points at the
completion of Lakeside and sit just 87 points out of the lead. The team
rides a stretch of finishing eighth or better in the last five events
into Knoxville Raceway this coming weekend as the World of Outlaws cap
off five straight events at half-mile tracks.
Before
action resumes on Friday, Dollansky shared some thoughts on the two
races this past weekend in Kansas and the two shows that lie ahead in
Knoxville, Iowa.
Belleville
Qualifying: 5th
Heat Race: 4th
Dash: 1st
A-Main: 2nd, start (1)
"Belleville
was a solid night all the way through we just struggled getting our
motor to take off. Now that we’re getting into bad air we’re struggling
with acceleration on the initial starts so that’s hurting us but
fortunately we were able to keep ourselves in the hunt and get a 2nd
place finish. We’ve got some work to do in that regard but that’s what
we’re doing right now so we’ll get that sorted out by this coming
weekend."
Lakeside
Qualifying: 2nd
Heat Race: 3rd
Dash: 7th
A-Main: 8th, start (7)
"We
dealt with the same issue at Lakeside and had a car that wasn’t real
good but we worked with it throughout the night but never got it to
where we needed but salvaged a top ten out of it. We’re back at the
shop now for the first time in about five weeks to go to work on some
things that were plaguing us at Belleville and Lakeside and work on our
car as well."
Looking Ahead to Knoxville Raceway on Friday and Saturday
"I
always look forward to going back to Knoxville. We haven’t been there
since the Nationals and it’s close to home for us and a track I really
enjoy racing at. We needed this week to work on some things and we’re
doing that now. We’ve been running strong and had a couple second place
finishes over the last five races so we’ll keep after it and more wins
will come."
