Craig Dollansky and the World of Outlaws continued their march east on Friday as they laid eyes on Williams Grove Speedway to battle the always tough Pennsylvania contingent in the first of six Outlaw events on the season at the paper clip shaped half-mile.

With 41 sprinters signed in for competition and Mother Nature in the area, as it has been at every World of Outlaws event over the past month, one lap qualifying was instilled over the field to speed the program along.  Dollansky was the fastest car in his warmup session but a slight bobble in qualifying resulted in missing the heat inversion by just .177 of a second and put the Karavan Trailers Maxim 31st overall.  As it was, Dollansky started eighth in the third heat and gained one position to finish 7th.  Forced to run the B-Main, the Aggressive Hydraulics #7 started eleventh in an event that went caution free and raced up to 7th at the finish, just three spots shy of a transfer.

Missing a transfer position meant the Big Game Treestands #7 team would use their first provisional of the season and start the A-Main from inside row fourteen.  Following a red on the initial start, the race would go green until lap 12 when Tyler Walker flipped in turn two at which point Dollansky was now running twenty-second for the restart.  Another red on the double-file restart and a caution with 5 laps to go would bunch the field up and Dollansky inched his way up to 15th when the checkered flag flew on the 25-lap feature.

The slate is washed clean on Saturday as the Big Game Treestands #7 team heads back to Williams Grove Speedway for the finale of the Spring Nationals.
