Watch Dollansky's post race interview HERE!
Saturday and World of Outlaws racing haven’t gone hand-in-hand recently with the last four scheduled events on Saturday succumbing to rain. That all changed last night at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana as Craig Dollansky and the Big Game Treestands #7 team prepared for a Saturday battle for the first time since March 10th.
Having great success scoring a victory in every even year since 2006 at the tight ¼-mile bullring, the night got underway with qualifying as ‘The Crowd Pleaser’ muscled the MobileStar #7 to the 4th fastest time among the 31 cars. Starting from third in heat #1, Dollansky and Steve Kinser put on a great battle with the Aggressive Hydraulics Maxim taking the 2nd spot and earning a spot in the dash. After the four-pill was drawn for the 8-lap dash, the Elk River, Minnesota native claimed the pole for the dash and put on the burners winning by over two seconds.

Back in the saddle after battling through unforeseen challenges the previous night, Craig Dollansky and the Big Game Treestands #7 team wrapped up the sprint car portion of the 41st Annual UNOH DIRTcar Nationals in ‘The Sunshine State’ on Sunday with a little luck on their side instead.
With two complete programs scheduled due to Friday’s rainout, racing got underway in the early afternoon as 32 cars took the green flag for qualifying with Dollansky timing in 8th quick. In the fourth heat the Aggressive Hydraulics Maxim started third and finished 4th to transfer into the main event.
In the 20-lap A-Main the MobileStar backed sprinter started inside of row eight with track conditions continuing to deteriorate as expected for a day race due to the sun, heat, and wind. Action in the feature wouldn’t stay green very long as three cars brought out the caution on the first lap. Now restarting in the ninth spot, ‘The Crowd Pleaser’ muscled his way up to the 4th until two laps to go when the caution flag waved for flat tires on two cars. With tire wear an increasing concern for much of the field, Dollansky lost one spot in the remaining laps but nursed the #7 to the finish where the right-rear went flat shortly after taking the checkered flag.
