Fireworks Follow Daggetts Win at I-96 Speedway

Lake Odessa, MI – Local fan favorite and 2018 Great Lakes Super Sprints presented by Engine Pro & ARP Champion, Dustin Daggett of Portland, MI took advantage of his front row starting position to bring home the win in front of vocal sprint car crowd tonight at I-96 Speedway.

With 24 registered winged sprints on hand, 2020 GLSS Champion, Phil Gressman (Fremont, OH) was up on the wheel and standing on the peddle to bring home the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier with a quick time of 14.168 or roughly an average speed of 103 mph. Danny Sams III (North Port, FL), Max Stambaugh (Elida, OH), Brad Lamberson (Parma, MI) and Daggett rounded out the top 5 fast qualifiers.

The Bulldog, Gregg Dalman, kicks off the night by winning the Engler Machine and Tool Heat 1, leading all 8 laps. 2021 GLSS Champion Ryan Ruhl (Coldwater, MI) hangs on for 2nd with Gressman, Lamberson and Max Frank (Williamston, MI) rounding out the top five.

In the Jim Coffey Plumbing & Heating Heat 2, Sams is on the rails holding off Daggett for the win. 2016 GLSS Champion Chase Ridenour holds on for 3rd, with Logan Easterday (Coldwater, MI) and Kelsey Ivy (Fremont, OH) rounding out the top five.

Keith Sheffer, Jr puts himself into the redraw and a favorable position by winning the Beacon and Bridge Markets Heat 3. Stambaugh keeps himself in the redraw with a 2nd finish, while rookie Bobby Elliot (Allenton, MI) in only his 2nd start, holds his own bringing home a 3rd place finish. Kyle Poortenga (Woodland, MI) and Jay Steinebach (Hudsonville, MI) round out the top 5.

Seasoned veterans Dalman and Daggett who have raced hundreds of times together start side by side on the front row to start the PErfit A-Feature. Leading 24 cars around the track cleanly for lap one, Joel Hummel (Nashville, MI) runs into a power steering failure going into turn 1 bringing out a caution and a temporary fire. Restarting single file for lap two, the field of 23 cars put on a show GLSS has become known for, 24 green flag laps of slicing and dicing all the way to the checkered flag.

Sams was able to keep Daggett close, but with no cautions and the heavy lapped traffic from lap 8 on, Sams wasn’t able to reel Daggett in, but was able to hold on to 2nd, holding his slim lead over Stambaugh who finished a very consistent 3rd. Dalman and Lamberson rounded out the top 5 finishers.
Brad Lamberson, who started 10th, was tonight’s Hoosier Racing Tire Hard Charger.

Great Lakes Super Sprints presented by Engine Pro & ARP will be back in action tomorrow at the Battle Grounds at Butler Motor Speedway.
