Brandon, SD (7-29-12) – With just 2 laps remaining in tonight’s 30 lap All-Star Circuit of Champions main event, Mark Dobmeier raced past race-long leader Danny Lasoski in turn 1 as Lasoski executed a 360 degree spin. Lasoski kept his machine under power and rejoined the race in 4th position. But instead of a checker flag for Dobmeier, the yellow flag was displayed for a stalled car. As the field circled under the caution with just a green-white-checker finish remaining, leader Dobmeier’s right rear tire lost air pressure and 2nd place Lynton Jeffrey went pitside with mechanical problems handing the race lead over to Tim Shaffer. When the race resumed, it was Lasoski retaking the lead from Shaffer and ultimately the checkered flag and the $5000 winner’s share. I
