ELBRIDGE, N.Y. - Aug. 19. Darrell Lanigan should have been handed a broom in Victory Lane after Thursday's 50-lap World of Outlaws Late Model Series A-Main at Rolling Wheels Raceway.

The 40-year-old star from Union, Ky., was simply perfect in the national tour's first visit to the five-eighths-mile oval since 2005, sweeping the evening's action to run his season win total to a career-high five and pull ever-closer to points leader Josh Richards in the chase for the $100,000 World of Outlaws championship.

Lanigan set fast time, won a heat race and drew the pole position for the A-Main. Then he drove to a $10,600 triumph, dominating the headliner after inheriting the lead when Vic Coffey of Caledonia, N.Y., ducked into the pit area during a lap-11 caution period.
