to Snap 77-Race Winless Streak

Cottage Grove, OR-September 1, 2010- Danny Lasoski certainly didn't forget how to get to Victory Lane with the World of Outlaws, despite having gone 77 consecutive races without a victory dating back to July of 2009. He returned to a very familiar place on Wednesday night and that was the winner's circle at Cottage Grove Speedway in Oregon, as he scored his first win of 2010 and the fourth of his career with the series at the high-banked ¼-mile bullring.

Lasoski took the lead from Craig Dollansky coming off turn two on the 23^rd lap and would pace the remainder of the 40-lap contest, using four strong double file restarts to stay out front. For the 2001 World of Outlaws champion, the $10,000 win was the 87^th of his career with the series.

At the start of the feature the drag race into the first turn was won by Dusty Heistand from his pole starting position followed by outside front row starter Bruce Buckwalter Jr.

Wagner started the event from the pole and led every lap. Along the way there were anxious moments, the worst coming during the final laps. Wagner's car began to smoke and oil was blowing through an engine breather element. Wagner knew he had to go for the win and continued to race. When action was through, the rear deck of Wagner's racer was covered in oil. Wagner was happy, yet concerned his season could be over. " I didn't think we were gonna make it. The oil pressure went down to nothing. Then it went up to 20 (lbs.), then back down to nothing, then back up to 20, then 30, and I said the heck with it, we're just running it. We blew that motor up last week. That cost us a lot. But I figured, we're in the lead and we're going for it. I'm proud to win this. I've tried to get better. It's stiff competition and I've tried to learn and get better from some guys that are better than we are." Wagner later added, " our season might be over if this engine is done."

Here is the updated points after this week.

1.Pat Cannon - 1010 pts (14 win)
2. Logan Schuchart- 613 pts. (1 win)
3. Dale Hammaker - 596 pts.(2 win)
