Joey Saldana Dominates at Tri-City
Joey Saldana dominated Tri-City Speedway’s quick half-mile Saturday, grabbing the $10,000 winner’s check and posting his first World of Outlaws Sprint Series “A” Main of the season.
Saldana started outside front row for the 25-lap headliner but just as he and pole-sitter Craig Dollansky took the green Kraig Kinser and Erin Crocker farther backinthe pack, with both cars flipping. Both drivers emerged unscathed, but during the resulting red flag Dollansky discovered a broken rear end which sent him tothe pits for repairs.
Chasing Saldana home were Lasoski, Kinser, McMahan, Jason Meyers, Brian Paulus, Brooke Tatnell, Tim Shaffer, Donny Schatz and Jason Sides.
“I can?t thank Larry Woodward enough for giving me an opportunity to race with these guys,” Saldana said in Victory Lane. “This team?s done a great job. Mike Cool, Mike Briggs and Dave Brzozwski have worked really hard and the Charlie Fisher motors are running great. This is the third car I?ve run on the Outlaw tour this year and it?s really fulfilling to know that I can still get the job done. I knew those guys were back there, but the traffic was really tight. Cars were weaving all over the place on the straightaways and I didn?t want to do anything stupid to throw away a good finish.”
