Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 1, 2016) – Mark Burch Motorsports is heading into this week’s 26th annual Arnold Motor Supply 360 Knoxville Nationals seeking to continue its success at the marquee event hosted by Knoxville Raceway.
Danny Lasoski has piloted the team to three preliminary night wins in the last four seasons while Mark Burch Motorsports has earned a top-10 finish during the finale each of those four years.
“I’m glad we spent the last two weekends in Knoxville because we needed to get our race car tuned up,” Lasoski said. “Mark is working hard to get us where we need to be.”
The team competed at Knoxville Raceway last Saturday and for the second straight weekend they battled from the back to post a top 10 during the main event.
“Mark is working his rear off to get our qualifying better,” Lasoski said. “We weren’t quite right to start the night.”
Lasoski timed in fifth quickest in his group before he placed sixth in a heat race to miss locking into the main event by only one position. That forced him to run a B Main, where a runner-up result earned a transfer into the 24th starting position for the main event.
“We’re better when the track slicks off at the end of the night,” Lasoski said. “I worked hard to get to the top 10. I would have liked to get further, but the first 14 cars are way easier to pass than the last 10.”
Lasoski charged from 24th to the 10th-place finish to give the team 21 cars passed in the last two features at Knoxville Raceway.
The team will return to the half-mile oval for the 360 Knoxville Nationals this Thursday through Saturday.
In other news, Mark Burch Motorsports would like to thank everyone who supported the Team Jack Foundation by purchasing a unique t-shirt. All sales of the apparel will go to the Team Jack Foundation. The t-shirts will be available at each race Mark Burch Motorsports contests throughout the season.
