Danny Lasoski on Top Again in $5,000 Mid-Season Championship at Knoxville!

Knoxville, IA, June 27, 2015 – Danny Lasoski registered win number three of the season at the Knoxville Raceway and #105 in his career at the “Sprint Car Capital of the World” on Saturday night. The victory was also his third FVP National Sprint League win of 2015. The victory allowed him to stay on top of the point standings at both Knoxville and with the NSL, and it was worth $5,000 aboard the Big Game Motorsports #2.
Henderson shot out to an early lead in the 25-lap feature ahead of Ian Madsen and Lasoski. Rubber developed early in turn two, and Lasoski shot by Madsen on lap six. A lap later, Henderson was his victim in the same spot on the track.
Madsen tried to shoot inside Henderson for second in turn three, hit the brakes, and got over the infield berm when the two cars couldn’t fit in one spot. Madsen’s machine veered backwards across the track and struck the turn three wall, putting an end to his night.
Lasoski led the field back to green flag racing ahead of Henderson, Brooke Tatnell, Bronson Maeschen and Brian Brown. The top five would not change the rest of the way as a heavy layer of rubber encircled the half-mile on an uncharacteristic track at Knoxville. The only remaining caution came for Tasker Phillips, who blew his right rear with seven to go.
Lasoski carried out his win ahead of Henderson ($3,500), Tatnell ($3,000), Maeschen and Brown. Terry McCarl, Craig Dollansky, Dusty Zomer, Lynton Jeffrey and Davey Heskin rounded out the top ten. Henderson set quick time, while Bill Balog, Ryan Bunton, Josh Baughman and Dustin Selvage were heat winners. Dollansky won the B main.
“We knew he was going to be tough,” Lasoski said of the pole-sitter Henderson in Victory Lane. “My hat’s off to (crew chief) Guy Forbrook. He had this thing figured out tonight. We have a good racecar, but when August (Knoxville Nationals) comes the big boys are coming to town and we want to be ready.”
The FVP National Sprint League begins a busy month of July this Friday night the 3rd at the Huset’s Speedway near Brandon, South Dakota. The series will return to the Knoxville Raceway on the 4th of July! For more information on the FVP National Sprint League, visit www.NationalSprintLeague.com!
