Mann, What a Race! Jett Mann Captures First Career GLSS Win at Butler Saturday
Quincy, MI - The second night of a doubleheader weekend brought some different drivers to the table, hoping to find victory lane with the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP. A mix of championship hopefuls and ringers looking for a win put on an intense show for fans at Butler Motor Speedway. Alongside Boston Mead, Jett Mann led the field to the green ahead of the 25-lap main event on Saturday night. Mann held off Dustin Daggett and Jared Horstman to lead the opening lap. Mead fought back into third behind Daggett putting Horstman back to fourth ahead of Chase Ridenour. The first caution flag of the night came out just four laps in when Phil Gressman spun at the bottom of turn one. On the restart, things remained relatively unchanged throughout the field until the halfway mark of the race when the leaders started working through heavy lapped traffic. On lap 15, Mann missed the bottom entering turn one, opening the door for Daggett to get to his inside. Daggett took the lead down the backstretch and now had the task of navigating lapped traffic. The pass for the lead allowed Boston Mead to work back into the conversation for the top spot. With eight laps to go, Daggett caught a piece of the tractor tire exiting the turn, which gave Mann a run going into three. Entering the turn, Daggett was taking a big arch to try to get under a lapped car, opening the door for Mann on the extreme bottom. The pair made contact and bumped side-by-side several times until the center of the corner, when Mann was able to drive away, and Daggett spun to the bottom of the track which was the preferred line. Daggett attempted to hit the spin cycle and drive out of the incident, but with heavy traffic coming into three, officials called a caution which sent the No.85 to the tail, setting up a final restart with less than 10 to go. Mann was able to hold off Mead and Jared Horstman for his first career GLSS Feature victory in just his second start since a vicious crash at I-96 Speedway in June. The next event for the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP is Friday, August 22nd from Ohsweken Speedway in Ontario, Canada, and Saturday, August 23rd from Buxton Speedway. Fans who can't make the trip can catch the action live on www.GreatLakesSprints.TV. Max Stambaugh set the Ti22 Performance Quick Time. Max Stambaugh won Engler Machine & Tool Heat Race one. Dustin Daggett won Beacon & Bridge Market Heat Race two. Jett Mann won Miami Pain Heat Race three.

Lucky 7s! Horstman Earns 7th GLSS Win of the Season from 7th
Lake Odessa, MI - Nearly two-dozen cars were on the property Friday night at I-96 Speedway for the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP to kick off a doubleheader weekend of racing. After a couple weeks of struggles, Jared Horstman returned to championship form in an impressive performance. Scotty Thiel, the most recent winner at I-96 with GLSS, led the field to the green flag alongside 2016 GLSS champion, Chase Ridenour. Thiel jumped out to the early lead in turn one, but fifth starting Dustin Daggett was quickly on his heels going into turn three and nearly led the opening lap. A caution just three laps in set the stage for great racing inside the top five. From the seventh spot, Jared Horstman was methodically working up the ladder. Running fifth on lap five, calamity unfolded in front of Horstman when Chase Dunham and Chase Ridenour came together at the exit of turn four. The contact sent Dunham flipping into the catch fence on the front stretch and Ridenour pirouetting in the air. As the two were wrecking, Horstman caught a piece of the action with the nose wing of his No.17. Dunham and Ridenour were ok but unable to continue. As the field was refired after the red flag, Thiel's Ragged Edge Racing No.51 wouldn't lock into gear, prompting a trip to the work area and realigning Thiel at the tail of the field. That handed the lead over to Daggett, and thanks to the crash and Thiel's mechanical issues, Horstman was now in second. On the restart, Daggett was able to keep his distance from Horstman; anywhere from half a second to a second the advantage. With two laps to go, Daggett tried to pass a lapped car on the bottom of turns one and two, unable to complete the pass, Daggett lost all momentum and Horstman was able to get to his inside down the backstretch and complete the pass in three and four. The race wasn't over yet for Horstman, with Championship rival Max Stambaugh, who was running sixth, ahead of him, Horstman threaded the needle between the No.71H and the outside wall to put distance between himself and Daggett. Thiel rallied back to finish third, Ryan Ruhl fourth, and Mike Keegan completed the top five. The next event for the Great Lakes Super Sprints is Saturday, August 16th at Butler Motor Speedwya in Quincy, MI. The GLSS will be in action alongside the weekly 410 Sprint Cars. Fans who can't make the trip can catch all the action live on www.GreatLakesSprints.TV. Scotty Thiel won the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Award Scotty Thiel won Engler Machine & Tool Heat Race one. Max Stambaugh won Beacon & Bridge Markets Heat Race two. Dustin Daggett won Miami Paint Heat Race three. Gregg Dalman was the Operating Engineers 324 Hard Charger.

On Cloud Nine! Stambaugh Earns Ninth GLSS Win Saturday at Silver Bullet
Owendale, MI - In 2017, on his way to his first career Great Lakes Super Sprints Championship, Jared Horstman collected a record 11 feature wins. After Saturday night's event with the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP, Stambaugh is now within two wins of the record. Alex Clute and Phil Gressman led the field to the green flag ahead of 25 laps on Saturday night. Gressman jumped out to the early lead as Stambaugh and Mike Keegan hustled three wide around Clute. On lap 11 in heavy lapped traffic, Stambaugh found the outside of the race track which had been bottom-dominant all night long. Stambaugh ripped around Gressman down the backstretch before setting sail out front. Meanwhile, the rest of the top five were bumper-to-bumper trying to gain position. Gressman, Keegan, and Dustin Daggett negotiated the terms for the final rung of the podium amid thick lapped traffic. With less than five laps to go, Daggett moved into the second spot while Gressman held off Keegan and a charging Jared Horstman. At the finish, Max Stambaugh collected his ninth win of the season ahead of Daggett, Gressman, Keegan, and Horstman. With the win, Stambaugh moves into second on the all-time Great Lakes Super Sprints wins list with 27. He trails Horstman who has 31. Stambaugh extends his lead in the Tour Championship standings and closes in on Horstman for the MacAllister CAT Division with just four races remaining in Michigan and six on the Tour. The next event for the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints is Friday, August 15th at I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Michigan before going to Butler Motor Speedway on Saturday, August 16th.

Howl at the Moon! Chase Dunham Wins First Career GLSS Race Friday at Hartford Speedway
Hartford, MI - In a season that has seen Jared Horstman and Max Stambaugh combine for 14 feature wins, a first-time winner didn't seem to be in the cards. Friday night, with a full moon in the sky, the only thing that was going to keep Dunham for finding Victory Lane with the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP, was himself. Starting on the outside of the front row alongside veteran Van Gurley, Jr, Dunham jumped out to a quick lead and put distance between himself and the field in a hurry. That scenario has been done by the No.66 car before, and the end result hasn't been what he's been hoping for thus far. With just six laps on the board, Dunham was working to the inside of lapped traffic at the exit of turn number four when he made contact with the inside wall with his left front tire. Somehow, Dunham was able to continue and didn't lose much time to Gurley and Stambaugh. Another potential race-losing moment came inside of 10 laps to go when Dunham's car stepped completely sideways entering turn three behind a lapped car. Dunham was able to straighten the car out but not before Stambaugh cut the gap down to just four car lengths. With eight laps to go, the only caution of the race flew for Keith Sheffer, Jr, who caught the wall in turn three and slowed to a stop on the front stretch. The caution was a potential break for Dunham who was falling to the grips of Stambaugh in traffic. However, Dunham revealed in victory lane that the car was overheating throughout that entire race including under caution. On the restart, Dunham put the No.66 on the top of the race track and set sail, holding off Stambaugh and Jared Horstman, who found the final rung of the podium with a two-for-one deal on Van Gurley and Corbin Gurley in turn two. Dunham successfully navigated lapped traffic for the final five laps and went on to collect his first career GLSS win, his first win since 2021. "I think it's about damn time," Dunham said in victory lane. "We led a couple of weeks ago at I-96 Speedway, we've been up front, it just feels like a thousand pounds has been lifted off of me. There's been no pressure from my dad or any of our sponsors, just me. I tried to give it away. The motor probably isn't great, I looked under that caution and [the temperature gauge] was about pegged, and [dad] told me to keep going. It's just me and my dad this weekend, but this is pretty damn cool." The next event for the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP is Saturday, August 9th at Silver Bullet Speedway in Owendale, MI. Racing begins at 7:00 PM. Fans who can't make the trip can catch every lap on www.GreatLakesSprints.TV. Chase Dunham set the Ti22 Performance Fast Time with a 14.936. Jared Horstman won Engler Machine & Tool Heat Race One. Van Gurley, Jr won Beacon & Bridge Markets Heat Race Two. Max Stambaugh won Miami Paint Heat Race Three. Jett Mann was the Operating Engineers 324 Hard Charger advancing eight positions. Michigan CAT A Feature 1 (25 Laps): 1. 66-Chase Dunham[2]; 2. 71H-Max Stambaugh[3]; 3. 17-Jared Horstman[6]; 4. 85-Dustin Daggett[8]; 5. 12-Corbin Gurley[5]; 6. 7C-Phil Gressman[10]; 7. 13-Van Gurley Jr[1]; 8. 20I-Kelsey Ivy[7]; 9.
