Washington Winner!
Watch Dollansky's post-race interview HERE!
Following
a weekend of racing in Canada, the Big Game Treestands #7 team returned
to 'The States' to open up the month of September as World of Outlaws
racing continued in Alger, Washington on Friday as 'The Crowd Pleaser'
made his 12th appearance at Skagit Speedway.
As
the race evening got underway at the 3/10-mile oval, Dollansky showed
his power in qualifying by rocketing the Karavan Trailers Maxim to the
top of the charts among the 28 competitors. Quick-time honors put the
Elk River, Minnesota native in the first heat race where he started
fourth and finished 5th to transfer into the dash. An inversion of six
started the Eaton's Aeroquip Performance Products #7 in row three for
the quick 6-lap dash where Dollansky bettered his starting position for
the main event by advancing two positions to finish 4th.
In
the 30-lap A-Main the Aggressive Hydraulics backed sprinter started
outside of row two. The green flag wouldn't stay out long when the main
event got underway as a car got upside down on the first lap to bring
out the red flag. Early trouble in the feature continued on lap 6 for
the first of five stoppages until lap 11. Dollansky continued to hold
down the third position when action resumed and then assumed the
runner-up position and set sights on leader Jason Meyers. Battling
heavy lapped traffic, Dollansky worked the highside to narrow the gap
until lap 23 when the gap would be no more as 'The Crowd Pleaser'
motored around the highside of Meyers and into the lead. The Big Game
Treestands #7 sprinter would never look back over the final seven laps,
racing to the checkered flag for the series-leading 8th time this
season.
'Jason
was running a good race and had a good race car. It seemed like it was
a long race, there was a lot of yellow flags early on," commented
Dollansky. "We had a good car and a good starting spot and once we got
into lapped traffic it seemed like things worked out our way. I
couldn't be happier to get back into victory lane it's been since
Pevely. We changed some things after that and went back to what we were
doing before and it sure worked out tonight to get quick time and back
it up with a win. I couldn't be happier for Big Game Treestands,
Aggressive Hydraulics, Karavan Trailers, Aeroquip, and my crew DJ, Troy,
Luke, and Tyler. It's a great win for this entire team and Brian
Morrison who does a great job with our motor program. It's my dad's
birthday so it's a great birthday present for him."
The Big Game Treestands #7 team will try go for a weekend sweep of racing as they return to Skagit Speedway on Saturday. -- Check out Craig Dollansky Racing on Facebook and Twitter!
