EAGLE, Neb. — Craig Dollansky felt like he let a win slip away June 11 at Sedalia’s State Fair Speedway while leading in traffic, and he made sure history did not repeat itself as he held off Steve Kinser to win the Eagle Nationals for the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at Eagle Raceway Saturday night.
Dollansky started on the pole and dropped back to second behind Kinser at the start, but dove under Kinser exiting the fourth turn on the fifth lap to make the pass for the lead.
It was Dollansky’s second-consecutive Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series triumph and his fourth of the season.
 “It was a great night,” said the winner, who earned $10,000 for the 25th victory of his World of Outlaws career. “I am very happy for Larry Woodward and everyone that stands behind this race team. The crew worked hard as always and I am very proud of them. We had a great car tonight.”
Lapped traffic was the story on Saturday night, as the event went 40 laps non-stop in nine minutes and 23 seconds on the high-banked third-mile oval. A number of times over the course of the race, Dollansky pulled away from Kinser, as he was able to slice his way through the slower machines, eventually lapping all but the top-eight finishers.
“Typically, you don’t see that happen very often, but that puts on a good show for the fans when you can keep going,” said Dollansky. “We didn’t get the lead at the start of the race and we had to work our way past Steve (Kinser) and the Snap-on car was working well tonight. We kept working on it all night and tried to keep up with the race track.”
Kinser led the A-feature early on Saturday night and wound up second in the Q Oil Maxim.
“I got the gear a little bit high, but we had some motor problems in the dash and I went ahead and stuck a higher gear it in,” said the 20-time World of Outlaws champion. “I don’t know if it would have helped me or not. I got to rolling around a little bit better, but it was flopping around some. We’re learning a little bit and just have to keep running and hopefully, we’ll get these cars working a little better.”
Jason Meyers picked up his second- consecutive third-place finish as he earned the final podium position. He has 17 top-five finishes in 20 starts.
Point-leader Donny Schatz finished fourth and has finished in the top 10 in all 20 events this year. Shane Stewart was fifth.
