Dollansky Victorious at Volusia
Camargo, IL (2-3-10) By Kelly Brown Public
Relations Director Entering tonights event there were a lot of
unknowns for Craig Dollansky. He was beginning the 2010 season
with a new team, car, and even the Goodyear Tires on his car
were new to him. Some drivers may be daunted by a scenario like
this, but Dollansky adapted very quickly as he picked up the
victory in OReilly All Star Circuit of Champions action at Volusia Speedway Park.
After setting quick time, Dollansky would begin the night on the
pole position with Jason Sides to his right. On the drop of the
Green Flag Dollansky would take the lead on Lap 1 coming out of
the second turn.
