Danny Lasoski Quotations

Getting locked in is everything. We don't want to go through the heat races and requalify because you never know what could happen.

Kraig was running a great line up there and we hadn't gotten into lapped traffic yet,

We could go anywhere we needed to go. I grew up in Knoxville on the half-miles and Sioux Falls on the quarter-miles and I love these quarter-miles as well as the half-miles, but when you've got a car working like this it's like, 'Holy cow it's fun to race.'
