The first of two visits to Rolling Wheels Raceway Park in New York was next up for Craig Dollansky and the Big Game Treestands #7 team on Wednesday as they returned to the 5/8-mile track for the first time since a runner-up performance on October 8th of last year.

Making his 12th appearance that included 5 finishes in the top-five, ‘The Crowd Pleaser’ began the night by stopping the clock at 16.436 seconds on his second qualifying lap, good enough for 3rd among the 26 cars assembled.  Heat #3 saw the MobileStar Maxim start outside row two and finish 4th to transfer into the dash.  In the 6-lap dash an inversion of six put Dollansky outside row two where he bettered his starting position for the main event by one.

Quick stats: 
FIELD: 26 CARS
QUALIFYING: 16.436 (3rd)
HEAT RACE 3: 4th, start (4)
DASH: 3rd, start (4)
A-MAIN: 2nd, start (3)

The 2012 World of Outlaws schedule hit the ¼-mark yesterday as the Big Game Treestands #7 team returned to the Williams Grove Speedway for another night of action including the Morgan Cup Challenge after recording their ninth top-ten finish of the season the previous night.

Another great day of weather in ‘The Keystone State’ saw 45 drivers sign in for competition as Craig Dollansky made his 59th appearance at the famed ½-mile.  After recording his 2nd fast-time of the season on Friday, ‘The Crowd Pleaser’ laid down another solid lap on Saturday at 17.169 seconds, good enough for 6th quick. 

Early action in heat #2 saw Dollansky, teammate Sammy Swindell, and Jac Haudenschild go three-wide for second exiting turn 2 of the first lap.  With Swindell taking the spot down the backstretch, Dollansky used the bottom in turns 3&4 to steal the position and race to a 2nd place finish.  A little luck of a six-pill inversion for the dash put the MobileStar Maxim on the outside pole where Dollansky battled closely with Danny Lasoski but finished 2nd.

Quick stats: 
FIELD: 45 CARS
QUALIFYING: 17.169 (6th)
HEAT RACE 2: 2nd, start (3)
DASH: 2nd, start (2)
A-MAIN: 5th, start (2)

More racing with the ‘PA Posse’ continued on Friday for the Big Game Treestands #7 team as they took on the tough local competition for the first of six scheduled events at Williams Grove Speedway where Craig Dollansky finished eighth in the most recent event at the ½-mile last October.

The night couldn’t have gotten off to a better start for ‘The Crowd Pleaser’ as he was a rocket in the Aggressive Hydraulics Maxim topping the chart in qualifying at 17.118 seconds among the 45 cars.  After recording his second fast-time of the year, Dollansky started outside row two for heat #1 and advanced to 2nd in the 8-lap event to transfer into the dash.  An inversion of six put the Eaton’s Aeroquip Performance Products #7 on the outside of row three for the dash where the Elk River, Minnesota native lost a couple of spots and finished 8th.
