Craig has teamed up with legendary car owner Larry Woodward for the 2008 racing season to vie for the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship. 2008 will mark Craig's 16th season as a professional driver.
From the first drop of the green flag in 2007, Craig Dollansky showed that he would be a contender each and every night. After traveling to New Zealand and winning in the off-season, as well as claiming a victory in early season action in Florida, he finished fourth on the first two nights of the World of Outlaws season at Volusia Speedway Park with a packed pit area of 50-plus cars in attendance each night. This consistency earned him the Florida DIRTcar Nationals title for his performance over the combined six nights of sprint car racing at the half-mile.
This consistently followed Dollansky all season, as he racked up 48 Top-10 finishes, with 24 of those being in the Top-Five, along with three A-Feature wins en route to a seventh place finish in the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship points. It was the sixth time in his career that he has finished in the Top-10 in points.
Dollansky was one of just six drivers to lead more than 150 laps of feature racing competition in 2007. He also won the Crane Cams Dash six times to earn pole positions in A-Feature events, along with setting a new track record at USA Race Park in Arizona in time trials.
