Brandon, SD — (July 3, 2015) — Danny Lasoski brought home his fourth win of the year with the FVP National Sprint League Friday night at Huset’s Speedway near Brandon, South Dakota. The win was worth $5,000 in the series first ever appearance at the 3/8-mile bullring, and was also his third in a row with the NSL. It also allowed the Dover, Missouri driver to increase his point lead with the series aboard the Big Game Motorsports #2.
Drawing a starting spot outside row one on a heavy track, Lasoski led Paige Polyak and Mark Dobmeier early in the 35-lapper. When Polyak got into the backstretch wall on lap six, both Dobmeier and Dusty Zomer drove by. A lap later, Dylan Peterson jumped up the track. Dobmeier launched into a flip in turn three, unable to avoid the lapped car. Polyak went to the work area to repair a Jacob’s ladder. Brian Brown, who restarted ninth, continued with a detached nose wing.
Lasoski led Zomer, Brooke Tatnell, Lynton Jeffrey and Ian Madsen back to green flag racing. As the leaders entered lapped traffic again, Austin McCarl came to a stop with 11 laps in the books. Bill Balog, who was slated to start sixth, but had to go to the rear with a flat left rear tire before the race began, and then suffered a flat right front on lap 15. He would restart at the tail. By then, Madsen and Bryan Clauson had moved by Jeffrey into fourth and fifth.
While Lasoski and Zomer separated themselves a bit from the field on a fast racetrack, on lap 21, the battle for third heated up with Madsen and Clauson getting by Tatnell. With eleven laps to go, Matt Wasmund crashed hard in turn two, bringing an open red flag period.
Lasoski took off again over the last eleven laps. At times it looked like Zomer gained a bit in traffic, but he would settle for second. Clauson would grab third from Madsen on lap 32. Tatnell finished fifth, and Tim Kaeding, Jeffrey, Brown, Logan Forler and Terry McCarl rounded out the top ten. Madsen set quick time over the field, while Dobmeier, Forler, Austin McCarl and Kaeding won heat races. Madsen won the B.
“That was the place to start was the front row on the outside,” said Lasoski afterwards. “I just went as hard as I could go around the top. When we run these things wide open, we were lucky to start up front. We came up on lapped cars and they were running side by side. There really wasn’t much we could do about it. If I couldn’t pass them, they couldn’t pass me.”
“Danny is obviously, really good,” said Zomer. “We needed some lapped traffic to make it interesting. The track was fast. From where we started, we’re happy to come out with second. My hat’s off to Danny’s team and to him. My team as well. We’ve been working hard. We keep plugging away. When you start back like that, it makes you better in the long run.”
“We probably waited a little too long,” said Clauson. “I knew we left our car pretty free, knowing where we were starting (tenth) and where the track had been all night. I tried to bear with it the best I could before I started pulling the wing back. I was probably a little conservative with that. We were really good on the bottom. We just needed a little more time in traffic. It’s been a roller coaster learning some of these tracks for the first time. We’re happy we had a good finish.”
The FVP National Sprint League heads to the Knoxville Raceway, Saturday night, July 4 for “Heroes Night”. For more information on the FVP National Sprint League, visit www.NationalSprintLeague.com!
