  Horstman Matches Stambaugh, Earns Fifth Win of 2025 with GLSS

  Crystal, MI - As drivers with the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP unloaded at Crystal Motor Speedway on Saturday night, most were preparing for a track unlike what we'd seen to this point in the 2025 season. A track that slicked off through the center, had a small cushion up top, and a technical yet fast bottom groove, put on a thrilling show for fans! Mike Keegan and Jared Horstman led the field to the green flag ahead of the 25 lap main event. On the start, Horstman instantly found the moisture at the top of the race track and had the lead by the exit of turn two. Dustin Daggett moved into the second spot before the first and only caution of the night on lap five. On the restart, Horstman continued to use the top of the race track as his preferred line around the speedway. Meanwhile, Keith Sheffer, Jr was charging from his sixth starting spot and was on the tail of Daggett before setting up a slider that wouldn't clear, forcing Sheffer to regroup after losing several car lengths on Daggett. The top of the race track was fading fast in turns three and four, forcing Horstman to find the rough bottom of the track instead of missing his mark and going over the turn. Heavy lapped traffic brought Daggett and Sheffer back within striking distance in the final five laps, but Horstman was able to drive away once again as Sheffer completed the pass on Daggett for second. Keegan and Chase Dunham rounded out the top five. "This thing was awesome," Horstman said in Victory Lane. "I've gotta thank the crew for this one without them we wouldn't be here. The top got a little treacherous down there in two, and three and four got pretty narrow so I moved it back to the bottom. We were good. I think Max mentioned it last night, this is what this series needs. It's fun racing with Max every night… To go back and forth like this, this is pretty cool." Keith Sheffer, Jr earned the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Award Sheffer, Jr won Engler Machine and Tool Heat Race Number One. Mike Keegan won Beacon & Bridge Markets Heat Race Number Two. After having a 12 point deficit coming into the night, Horstman leaves Crystal with an 18 point advantage in the Great Lakes Super Sprints Tour and opens up a 118 point advantage in the MacAllister CAT (Michigan) division over Dustin Daggett. Meanwhile, Stambaugh continues to pace the Ohio CAT division by 106 points over Horstman. The next event for the Great Lakes Super Sprints will be Thursday, July 3rd at Waynesfield Raceway Park for the Let Freedom Ring Night. Racing begins at 7:00 PM. Then, Limaland Motorsports Park hosts GLSS on Friday, July 4th, and Millstream Speedway wraps up the weekend on Saturday, July 5th.

  Stambaugh Prevails in Thrilling GLSS Champion's Duel at Tri-City Motor Speedway

  Auburn, MI - Many drivers in the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP pit area had been looking for an opportunity to race a smooth, technical track this season. So far, many weekend visits have been hammer down and "pony up". But Tri-City Motor Speedway was just what the Doctor ordered. Max Stambaugh and Kelsey Ivy led the field to the green flag Friday night in front of a packed house in Auburn, MI. Stambaugh took hold of the race lead early while Mike Keegan and Dustin Daggett argued over who would hold down the second spot. After the negotiations for second fell to the liking of Daggett, he set sights on catching Stambaugh in lapped traffic. A defisit that was over 1.2 seconds at one point in the race, was quickly cut down to just four-tenths-of-a-second by the halfway mark. Dicing through traffic, Daggett used every ounce of race track he could find to try and get to Stambaugh's tailtank. As he was setting up a lapped car to get to Stambaugh, the caution flew with just seven laps to go. The pause in the action gave fans a chance to realize who else was now in the picture for a win - four-time feature winner, two-time GLSS Champion, and leader on the all-time wins list at Tri City, Jared Horstman. On the restart, Horstman went straight to the top of the race track while Daggett again went on the hunt for a quick line around Stambaugh, who remained committed to the bottom. Horstman went by Daggett on the top of the race track and but down six money laps trying to outperform his closest championship rival. At the finish, Stambaugh collected his fifth win of the 2025 season while Horstman kept the championship hunt tight by finishing second. Daggett held on for third, Chase Dunham climbed to fourth, and Gregg Dalman came home fifth. Stambaugh won the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Award. Ivy won Engler Machine and Tool Heat Race number 1. Keegan won Beacon & Bridge Markets Heat Race number 2. Daggett won MacAllister CAT Heat Race Number 3. The next event for the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP is Saturday, June 28th at Crystal Motor Speedway. Gates open at 4:00 PM with racing slated to begin at 5:00 PM. Fans who can't make the trip can catch the action LIVE at GreatLakesSprints.Tv.

  Category 4 Hurricane: Horstman Wins Fourth GLSS Feature at I-96 Friday

  Lake Odessa, MI - The MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP were back in action at I-96 Speedway Friday night and all eyes were on the two-time GLSS Champion, Jared Horstman. So far in 2025, Horstman has been held out of victory lane in the Mitten State just one time; and the result was second. Rolling off alongside fellow Ohio driver, Jac Nickles, Horstman will technically get credit for leading all 25 laps around the track, but it wasn't a cake walk. Nickels gave everything he could to Horstman on the opening lap, in fact, the naked eye would struggle to accuratley say who led the opening lap at the line. Horstman settled into the top spot, but only for a moment before the first caution flag flew for Jay Steinebach who went up in smoke down the backstretch. Simultaneously, Mike Keegan and Scotty Thiel reported to the work area as the caution flew but were unable to return. Only three more laps were tallied before Chase Ridenour's No.38 lost power exiting turn two, drawing a yellow for the second time. Then, on the restart, Jett Mann made contact with the right rear of Ryan Ruhl, sending Mann for a wild flip off the top of turns one and two. Mann was reportedly checked and released from a nearby hospital after the crash. With 21 laps to go, the field was turned loose once again. Horstman held off Nickles who charged to the inside on the restart but couldn't get the run to get to the front. Meanwhile, Keith Sheffer, Jr, Dustin Daggett, and Max Stambaugh were in a tight battle that saw Sheffer go plus five on the night to finish on the podium yet again. Traffic would prove no issue for Horstman who cut through the backmarkers while maintaining his gap over Nickles. The win was the fourth of the season with GLSS and his 100th career sprint car victory. Dustin Daggett earned the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Award. Daggett won the Engler Machine & Tool Heat Race 1. Horstman won Beacon & Bridge Markets Heat 2. Jac Nickles won MacAllister CAT Heat Race 3. Andy Tuenessen won the Operating Engineers 324 B-Main. Zac Broughman was the Hoosier Racing Tire Hard Charger gaining seven spots. The next event for the Great Lakes Super Sprints is Friday, June 27th at Tri City Motor Speedway in Auburn, MI and Saturday, June 28th at Crystal Motor Speedway in Crystal, MI.

  Horstman, Thiel, Stambaugh, Worth the Price of Admission Friday at I-96 Speedway

  Lake Odessa, MI - Anytime that 27 Michigan CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP unload at the track, fans can expect a fantastic program. Friday night, I-96 was in rare form, and the battle for the win was worth the price of admission. Jared Horstman, who opened the 2025 season with a win at Crystal Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 19th, brought the field to green alongside the most recent winner of the last two GLSS shows, Max Stambaugh, for the 25 lap, $2,500 to win main event. Just as quickly as the race started, it was halted when a pair of Ohio drivers, Chase Dunham and Phil Gressman, met in the middle of the inside and outside rows as they hit the throttle. The result was a destroyed No.66 for Dunham after he tumbled at least two times down the front stretch and collected Mike Keegan and Aaron Shaffer in the process. Gressman's No.7C suffered damage as well. The second attempt to start the race went better, technically; but not much. When the field reached turn one, Keith Sheffer, Jr's No.14 stepped around on him from the fourth spot, simultaneously, Ryan Conium's No.6 collided with Eli Lakin's No.70 outside the top 10. Conium went for a massive tumble off the end of the race track. Meanwhile, Sheffer collected Gressman with a huge hit that nearly sent Gressman tumbling. After a lengthy clean-up, the third start was money. Max Stambaugh jumped out to the early lead while Horstman slid into second with Scotty Thiel in third ahead of Dustin Daggett. Another caution waved when Jac Nickles did a 360 in turn two and nearly drove out of it when he was clipped by Gregg Dalman and forced to stop on the backstretch. On the restart, Stambaugh held the lead but not without challenge. Horstman nearly took the lead on the outside in turn two but lost the top of the race track and was forced to fall back in line until the leaders hit heavy lapped traffic. With crossed flags showing, Horstman was credited with the lead at the halfway mark, but again blew it over the cushion in turn two and allowed Stambaugh and Thiel to drive away. Four laps later, Thiel took the top spot around the outside of Stambaugh in turns three and four. A lap later, deja vu; Thiel jumped the turn two cushion and lost the lead to Stambaugh as Horstman pulled back in for second. Into turn three that same lap, Horstman threw a slider for the lead and never looked back as Stambaugh tried to hang on to second but relinquished the position to Thiel by the end of the night. With the win, Jared Horstman now becomes the winningest driver all-time with the Great Lakes Super Sprints sitting at 27 and nine wins at I-96 Speedway alone. "This is awesome," Horstman said in Victory Lane. "I knew we had a good car. Slipping it off of turn two twice, I just stepped on it. To stick after it, and a couple of mistakes from the other guys, [I] was able to capitalize." With the win, Horstman now matches Stambaugh with a pair of wins on the Tour in the first four races and leapfrogs the defending champion for the Tour Championship Points lead by 15 points. Meanwhile, Horstman opens up a 62 point gap in the Michigan CAT Division. The next event for the Great Lakes Super Sprints is Friday, May 16th at Limaland Motorsports Park for the annual Run for the Rabbit.

Horstman won the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Award. Horstman won Engler Machine & Tool Heat Race 1. Thiel grabbed Beacon & Bridge Markets Heat Race 2. Stambaugh won MacAllister CAT Heat Race 3. Ryan Ruhl won the Operating Engineers 324 B-Main. Michigan CAT A Feature 1 (25 Laps): 1. 17-Jared Horstman[1]; 2. 51-Scotty Thiel[3]; 3. 71H-Max Stambaugh[2]; 4. 85-Dustin Daggett[5]; 5. 38-Chase Ridenour[7]; 6. 01-Brad Lamberson[6]; 7. 20I-Kelsey Ivy[12]; 8. 16-Ryan Ruhl[16]; 9. 31-Jac Nickles[8]; 10. 49T-Gregg Dalman[18]; 11. 13-Van Gurley Jr[11]; 12. 22-Aaron Shaffer[15]; 13. 10S-Jay Steinebach[19]; 14. 3A-Mike Astrauskas[20]; 15.
