Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (May 24, 2016) – Danny Lasoski led Big Game Motorsports to the first clean sweep in National Sprint League history on Saturday at Knoxville Raceway.

Lasoski set quick time during qualifying before he charged from sixth to win a heat race. He then maneuvered from eighth to claim the main event, which was the Muddy sponsored team’s third win of the season and Lasoski’s 109th career triumph at the half-mile oval.

“We came out with a different race car with a new Brian Morrison engine that really ran good,” he said. “I had the best handling car in the heat race this year. I could maneuver around and we won our heat. With the National Sprint League format it kind of hurt us because we drew a four to invert four rows so we started eighth.”

Lasoski quickly advanced from eighth to fourth place during the start of the 25-lap feature.

“The way (Brian Brown) has been running he’s a handful,” he said. “We knew we had to get going. We had a pretty decent start. The next thing you know here comes Brian. We were racing through traffic and were able to get by him.”

Lasoski moved back into fourth place on Lap 9 before he picked up a position during each of the next two laps. He then set his sights on leader Brooke Tatnell, who Lasoski passed on Lap 19.

“I filled the left front and right rear wheels with mud,” he said. “I don’t know how we came through there. I couldn’t see where I was going. The steering wheel was going back and forth. It was a bad shake. We had a caution with three laps to go and I knew we had our work cut out.”

Lasoski maintained the top spot during the final laps to record the triumph and take over lead in the National Sprint League championship standings.

The weekend began on Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., for the $10,000-to-win Folkens Brothers Trucking Spring Nationals with the National Sprint League.

Lasoski qualified seventh quickest and placed fourth in a heat race. That lined him up on the inside of the third row for the main event.

“We came through the field,” he said. “I got to third and we were racing (Ian Madsen) and (Craig) Dollansky was out there pretty good. We had a restart and I got by Madsen. I just didn’t get close enough to work with Dollansky. We definitely wanted to win both nights, but we can’t be ashamed running second to Dollansky. He put a good program together at Jackson.”

Lasoski earned a runner-up result.

The Muddy backed team will return to National Sprint League competition this Saturday at Knoxville Raceway and Sunday at Iowa State Fair Speedway in Des Moines, Iowa.
