Craig Dollansky and the D&B Goodyer Development USA #7 team headed to Sungold Stadium Premier Speedway on January 1st to kick off the 2011 racing season in Round 9 of the World Series Sprintcar Championship.
No stranger to the track in Warrnambool, Australia where Dollansky picked up his first win of 2010 exactly one year ago, Dollansky posted the 3rd fastest time of the night among the 55 entries with a time of 11.915 seconds. In the first round of heat race action, the USA #7 started tenth and finished 8th. The second round of heat races saw Dollansky start nineth and finish 7th. Starting from inside row four in the pole shootout, ‘The Crowd Pleaser’ made quick work of the field as he motored to victory and claimed the pole for the main event.
In the 35-lap A-feature, Dollansky would shoot out to the lead and battle with fellow American Jason Johnson and Max Dumesny on a track that started to take rubber in the late stages and finished 2nd when the checkers flew.
Up next, a trip back to Sydney Speedway tonight for the opener of the two night, $50,000 to win Scott Darley Sprintcar Classic.
