"Crowd Pleaser" Craig Dollansky Takes NSL and Johnston Takes RaceSaver Sprints at ISF

"Crowd Pleaser" Craig Dollansky Takes NSL and Johnston Takes RaceSaver Sprints at ISF

So when i created my scheduled back in April the original plan was to work the Ron Little Memorial at Stuart but after being let go from Stuart, the week before I was able to pick up the National Sprint League and RaceSaver IMCA Sprints Special. I thought I was only going to announce the RaceSaver Sprints portion but i was granted the rights to all announcing duties on Sunday which meant i got to announce the National Sprint League portion and it was so much fun words can describe it.

I hope i made a good friend of the Iowa State Fair Speedway, who we lost a few weeks ago really proud of me last night announcing the 410 Sprint Cars. The National Sprint League and Knoxville Raceway Staff was fun to work with all night along with the crew from the Iowa State Fair Speedway.

IMCA RaceSaver Sprints

Heat Winners was Jason Martin of Lincoln, Nebraska; Tyler Thompson and Mike Moore, both from Des Moines.

In the 18 lap feature event, it was Tyler Drueke taking advantage of the pole postion and appeared to be pulling away just before the caution came out on lap five for Blain Petersen in turn four. Drueke continued to set the pace but a caution came out again just after the completion of lap eight for Mike Dapra coming to a stop on the backstretch. Drueke experience mechanical issues and came to a stop in turn four that handed the lead over to Michael Johnston. Johnston led the remaining laps to take his first win of the season at ISF. Mike Moore came home second, Tyler Thompson was third, Mike Houseman was fourth and Clint Benson was fifth.

Deberg Concrete/Slade Shock Technology Quick Timer was "The Crowd Pleaser" Craig Dollansky from Elk River, Minnesota with a time of 19.138. Ian Madsen, "Dude" Danny Lasoski, Brooke Tatnell and "Blackjack" Brian Brown rounded out the top five in time trials.

"Mad Man" Kerry Madsen won the Walker Performance Filtration Heat one and "Taz" Tasker Phillips won the Kaeding Performance Heat two.

Top eight in points took part of the Nehring Construction Pole Scramble and in the final round it was Dollansky beating out Lasoski for $1,000 and the right to choose inside or outside front row for the 20 lap feature.

Dollansky chose the outside lane and led from start to finish in the 20 lap feature event. Only thing slowing Dollansky was lap traffic which allowed Lasoski to try to make the move but Dollansky was like Superman as he went on take the win ahead of Lasoski. "Slammin" Sammy Swindell was third, Kerry Madsen was fourth and Ian Madsen was fifth.
