Bryan Hulbert – Knoxville, Iowa (August 2, 2012) Danny Lasoski pulled the veteran card on the opening night of the 22nd Arnold Motor Supply 360 Nationals at the famed Knoxville Raceway, outlasting several slide jobs from early race leader Jonathan Cornell.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe bottom was slowing down and so I was actually just idling though there\u201d commented Lasoski.<\/p>\n
Continuing in victory lane, Lasoski expanded on running the bottom, \u201cI wasn\u2019t event throttling it through there but when I saw him [Jonathan Cornell] I had to get up in the seat and get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n
Riding in the runner up spot for the first pair of laps, the Mark Burch Motorsports No. 1m drove the inside line on the Kiowa Line Builders No. 28 of Cornell. Pulling side by side on the third circuit, Lasoski would take the top spot on lap four before the caution flew for the 22h of Randy Hannagan who would not restart. The Hurricane would be scored twenty-third.<\/p>\n
Back underway, the fight on the track would be for third as Kevin Swindell charged to the inside line to go three wide with Jack Dover and Ryan Anderson. Retaking the show position with twelve laps to run, Dover would run nearly a straight-a-way behind the battle for the lead.<\/p>\n
Crossing the half-way point of the nights twenty lap feature event, the fight for the lead was all over the track as Danny Lasoski and Jonathan Cornell proceeded to exchange the top spot six times over the course of two laps with both driver utilizing the bottom and top grooves.<\/p>\n
Getting out of the two lap battle with the race lead, Cornell would again go for the lead with seven to go only to see Lasoski again pulling out front before the caution waved on lap sixteen for the spun No. 94 of Terry McCarl who would restart at the tail.<\/p>\n
Lining up for the restart, the driver on the move was nineteenth starting Brian Brown. Taking the Casey\u2019s General Store No. 21 to the high side, Brown would move into fifth over Brady Bacon.<\/p>\n
Racing to the final two laps, Jonathan Cornell was on the move. Punishing the cushion of the Knoxville Raceway, the Sedalia, Missouri racer was on the back bumper of Lasoski as the white flag waved. Pulling off turn two, the win was in sight but it was not to be as the left rear tire exploded on VKCC No. 28, allowing Lasoski to drive away to only his second 360 feature win.<\/p>\n
Brian Brown crossed the line second with Kevin Swindell climbing from sixth to round out the podium. Jack Dover would hold onto fourth with Jonathan Cornell able to limp his car across the line for fifth.<\/p>\n
Brad Sweet finished sixth with Brady Bacon falling back to seventh. Paul McMahan would take eighth with Ryan Anderson and Kyle Larson making up the top ten.<\/p>\n
