NEWTON (June 23, 2011) – It was back to Black Hills Speedway for Danielle and the Ossenfort Racing team last weekend, and Friday evening’s events proved to be just the “boost” she needed!
Hot laps started Friday night off right for Danielle and her Knology #10D. “The track was great and I didn’t have to lift off the gas at all! But I also knew that the track was going to start drying out before my heat.” Danielle said.
The #10D started second, sitting outside first row of her heat, so it was very important to her that they picked the right set up for the race. “After working on the car and talking about the track, I went out to start the heat with a lot of confidence, and we must have done something right!” Danielle beat the pole sitter to the first corner and walked away with her first heat win of the season from there. “It was so exciting and it was just the kind of confidence that I needed! Now, I know that I do have the skills and the car to start winning again,” said Danielle of her race.
Knowing what the track had done for her heat, Danielle and the Ossenfort racing team tightened up their cars for the feature. Danielle’s heat race win put her in fifth for the start of the night’s main event. “I had a great start. Right away I passed two or three cars. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong line and was passed by a couple of cars as well. I ended up finishing sixth for the night, but I was happy with my finish and the entire night as a whole. I’m getting more aggressive and comfortable with the car again which feels really good,” said Danielle.
You can look for Danielle to be back on the track again for the July 1 event at Black Hills Speedway, in Rapid City. Be sure you make it out to cheer her on!

Vortex Racing Products
Vortex Racing Products is the industry leader in Sprintcar Wing design. From humble beginnings in 1995 where we began producing wings for our own use we quickly became engaged in producing wings for other race teams. Inspired by a life-long background in racecar design and manufacturing from our Dad, we (Paul and Lynton) continued to evolve into a company known for producing a product a little different from the rest. This ability to manufacture a Wing that is unique in design is what has been our success. With the use of our own race teams in Australia and America, we continually push the boundaries of design with an extensive testing program of our products each and every year. It is with our understanding of chassis design and manufacturing that we are able to communicate with our clients and tailor a wing package that best suits their driver, team and make of chassis. We call this,” The Vortex Advantage”. http://www.vortexracingproducts.com.au/
