Inside Line Promotions – DES MOINES, Iowa (May 31, 2016) – Big Game Motorsports recorded a pair of top-five finishes last weekend during National Sprint League competition.
Danny Lasoski opened the weekend for the Muddy backed team on Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, where he qualified third quickest before charging from sixth to third place in a heat race. That lined him up on the outside of the third row for the main event.
“They had a lot of rain so the race track was quite a bit different,” he said. “We didn’t get the car where it needed to be. I’ll take the blame as a driver. I didn’t give enough feedback. We were too tight all night long.”
Lasoski ran inside the top five throughout the feature before finishing fourth, which kept him atop the National Sprint League championship standings and ranked second in the Knoxville Raceway championship standings.
The weekend concluded on Sunday at Iowa State Fair Speedway. Lasoski timed in third quickest during qualifying and he gained one position in a heat race to place fourth. That put him third in overall points and earned a spot in the Nehring Construction Pole Shootout, which determined the first four rows of the main event.
Lasoski defeated Sammy Swindell to advance to the final round, where Craig Dollansky got the jump to win. Lasoski started the feature on the front row alongside Dollansky, who quickly took the lead at the start of the 20-lap main event.
Lasoski stayed within striking distance and pulled even with Dollansky for the lead entering turn three just after the midpoint of the feature. Both drivers slid up the track and Dollansky was able to find grip first to keep the top spot.
“It came down to whoever got the lead on the start of the main event because the track was one lane,” Lasoski said. “We didn’t get the jump and didn’t have an opportunity to get around Dollansky so we ran second.”
Lasoski’s second-place finish dropped him to second in the National Sprint League championship standings by 21 points.
The Muddy sponsored team will return to action this Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., and Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, with the National Sprint League.
