- GLSS Champion Dustin Daggett to Make Lightning Sprints Debut Friday, Returns to Ionia Fairgrounds July 23rd
Merrill, MI - They say you can't teach an old dog a new trick, but in the next two weeks, longtime Sprint Car driver, Dustin Daggett, will try something new. The 2018 Great Lakes Super Sprints (GLSS) Tour Champion and 2024 GLSS Ohio CAT (South) Division Champion will make his Great Lakes Lightning Sprints debut Friday night at Tri City Motor Speedway before racing for $1,000 to win on Thursday, July 23rd, during the Ionia Free Fair. Daggett, who sits second on the all-time GLSS wins list with 27, will add another notch in his driving resume on Friday, July 17th, at Tri City Motor Speedway with the Great Lakes Lightning Sprints. Daggett will pilot the Chad Listerman owned No.85 Friday in preparation for a massive event the following week. During the Ionia Free Fair on Thursday, July 23rd, the Great Lakes Lightning Sprints will race for a record $1,000 to win with an additional $500 throughout the field. The non-points special will also feature a second feature lined up via a full invert from the first feature of the night. In 2025, the Great Lakes Lightning Sprints brought short track racing back to the Ionia Free Fair and the Ionia Fairgrounds for the first time since 2011, when the Sprints on Dirt Series made their fourth and final appearance at the Fairgrounds. That night, Daggett, who rolled from the fifth starting spot, made his way around Ryan Grubaugh and Ryan Ruhl to get the win. The Great Lakes Lightning Sprints will bring Sprint Car Racing back for the second consecutive year on Thursday, July 23rd. Thanks to CL Trucking & Excavating, the race will pay $1,000 to win, with an additional $500 being distributed throughout the field. Advanced tickets can be purchased here or at the gate on race day.
- GLSS Kicks off Sprint Car Week in Michigan Friday at I-96 Speedway
Lake Odessa, MI - The Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS) are back in action this Friday night at I-96 Speedway. The first scheduled trip to West Michigan was washed away in April, leaving this post-Memorial Day show as the appetizer for a busy week of Sprint Car racing in Michigan. Coming into Friday night's show, just three races have been completed toward the run for a GLSS championship in 2026. Seven scheduled shows have been lost to Mother Nature or adverse track conditions as a result of Mother Nature. Because of this, Zane DeVault remains the current Championship Points leader heading into the weekend. DeVault is two-for-three so far this season with GLSS, grabbing wins in the season opener at Crystal Motor Speedway on April 25th and again at Shadyhill Speedway on May 16th. DeVault holds a 74-point lead over four-time and defending GLSS Champion, Max Stambaugh on the Tour, and a 12-point lead over 2018 Tour Champion, Dustin Daggett in the North Division standings. I-96 Speedway has always been a roll of the dice on who will end up in GLSS Victory Lane. Since the first race on July 31, 2016, a total of 18 different drivers have won at I-96. Since winning the debut in 2016, inaugural GLSS Champion Chase Ridenour has been held out of the limelight in Lake Odessa. Jared Horstman (11), Dustin Daggett (8), Phil Gressman (4), and Max Stambaugh (4) sit atop the wins column ranks. Horstman was on another level at I-96 in 2025, winning three of five scheduled shows, finishing second and fifth in the shows he didn't win. GLSS and I-96 Speedway kick off a stretch of racing in Michigan that features five different sanctioning bodies at six different tracks in seven days. Following GLSS at I-96, High Limit Racing Sprint Cars unload at Butler Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 30th, the same day that the Great Lakes Lightning Sprints head back to Silver Bullet Speedway. Then, the Race for the Million 410 Winged Sprint Cars head to Owosso Speedway on Wednesday, June 3rd; finally, the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars return to Hartford Speedway on Friday, June 5th, with the Great Lakes Lightning Sprints making a return trip to Mt Pleasant Speedway that same day. Advanced tickets to the Great Lakes Super Sprints at I-96 Speedway are available at I96Speedway.com. Fans who can't make the trip can catch the action LIVE on www.GreatLakesSprints.TV.
