Series-Leading 6th Victory at Lebanon!
Watch the post-race interview HERE!
A
busy stretch of 6 events in just 9 days continued in ‘The Empire State’
on Sunday for the Big Game Treestands #7 team as they traveled north to
Lebanon Valley Speedway, a track no stranger to ‘The Crowd Pleaser’ who
raced to victory in 2009 and finished 5th in last year’s event.
After
posting the fastest time in hotlaps at the half-mile located in West
Lebanon, New York, Dollansky stopped the clocks in time trials with the
5th fastest time among the 25 competitors. Heat race action saw the
Aggressive Hydraulics Maxim start in row two and finish 4th to earn a
spot in the dash. Luck was in Dollansky’s favor for the dash inversion
as the six pill was drawn meaning the Karavan Trailers #7 would start
second. In the 6-lap dash ‘The Crowd Pleaser’ went on to finish 2nd.
As
the 24-car field assembled for the 25-lap A-Main event, Dollansky
started along side Kerry Madsen. With Madsen jumping out to the early
lead, the Big Game Treestands #7 sprinter ran second in pursuit of the
#92. As the laps started to click-off and the leaders worked through
lapped traffic, Madsen jumped the cushion and opened the door for
Dollansky to assume the point and lead lap 17. After two cautions on
lap 17, ‘The Crowd Pleaser’ used a great restart to bring the field up
to speed and set a fast pace during the final eight laps and cruise to
his series-leading 6th victory of the 2011 World of Outlaws season.
"It’s
great to be in victory lane here tonight at this great race track and
great crowd," commented the Elk River Minnesota driver. "Kerry got up
over the cushion in turn one and we were able to take advantage of it at
that point. On the double-file restart I kind of spun my tires. We
had a little bit harder tires and it took a little bit to get them
going. What a team effort with Big Game Treestands, Karavan Trailers,
Aggressive Hydraulics, Aeroquip, my crew, and my wife and daughter who
are here tonight. To have win number six on the season is great but
we’ve got a long ways to go and we’re going to keep working hard. Brian
Morrison builds us great motors and Maxim Chassis does great race cars
and everyone on this team all the way through and our fans back home."
The
Big Game Treestands #7 team now heads to Oshweken Speedway in Ontario,
Canada where racing resumes this coming Wednesday, July 27th.
