Danny Lasoski’s car didn’t sound too good when it crossed the finish line on Friday night at Manzanita Speedway, and the left rear tire didn’t look too good either, but all that mattered was that it crossed the line first, as he earned his sixth World of Outlaws A-Feature win of the season and the second of his career at the storied half-mile.

Danny Lasoski became the first driver in World of Outlaws history in 2003 to put together a clean sweep of a race night, when he did it at Calistoga Speedway, by setting fast time, winning a heat race, winning the Crane Cams Dash and winning the A-Feature. He nearly matched that feat on Saturday night again at Calistoga Speedway, as he won the second heat race, was victorious in the Crane Cams Dash and dominated the A-Feature. The only thing missing was quick time, as he was second fastest in time trials.
