Inside Line Promotions – MASON CITY, Iowa (June 19, 2016) – Danny Lasoski returned to Victory Lane on Sunday evening when he claimed the National Sprint League debut at Mason City Motor Speedway.

Lasoski kicked off the inaugural visit to the half-mile oval, which hadn’t hosted a 410ci winged sprint car event in approximately three decades, by setting quick time during qualifying. He then maneuvered from fourth to second place in a heat race and was the driver with the most points entering the feature inversion, which was a two. That lined Lasoski up on the outside of the second row for the 20-lap main event.

Ian Madsen took the top spot on the opening lap with Lasoski advancing to third place on Lap 2 and into the runner-up position on Lap 9. Two laps later he used the bottom groove to his advantage to take the lead exiting turn four.

Lasoski led the remainder of the main event despite a challenge from hard charging Sammy Swindell, who started seventh, cracked the top five on Lap 3, advanced into third place on Lap 9 and passed Madsen for second during a restart on Lap 14 following the first of two cautions.

Madsen ended third with Terry McCarl placing fourth and championship points leader Craig Dollansky fifth. Lasoski cut Dollansky’s lead from 92 points entering the night to only four points.

Lasoski’s quick time was his fourth during eight National Sprint League events this season. His feature win ties him with Dollansky and Kerry Madsen for a series-leading two triumphs.

Madsen, Dollansky and Matt Juhl were the heat race winners.

The National Sprint League returns to action next Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., during an event that includes the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series, and Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa.
