  Doubleheader Weekend Brings Great Lakes Super Sprints Back to Michigan Friday and Saturday

  Merrill, MI - This weekend, the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS) are back in the Great Lakes State for a Friday and Saturday night doubleheader. Friday night, the GLSS return to I-96 Speedway to the tune of $5,000 to win before a return to Crystal Motor Speedway for the first time in over three months. Friday at I-96, drivers will roll into Michigan's fastest Speedway with an over $20,000 purse on the line in a $ 5,000-to-win, $ 500-to-start showdown. I-96 Speedway has historically been a thrilling visit for the GLSS, and that held true in the last show there on May 29th. Chase Dunham and Dustin Daggett led the field to the green flag, and hometown favorite, Daggett held off a charge from Scott Bogucki to snap a nearly two-year winless streak. In the last visit to Crystal Motor Speedway, history was made when Zane DeVault broke the track record on the new American Racer tires. DeVault ripped off a time of 11.930 seconds before going on to have a near-perfect night, winning his heat race and rolling from third to victory lane. DeVault had some help that night as engine issues plagued both Jared Horstman and Clinton Boyles, who were at the front of the field for the first half of the race. DeVault remains the only driver to win multiple races this season with the Great Lakes Super Sprints. In 11 shows, nine different drivers have made their way to victory lane. The top two in GLSS Tour points, however, are still held winless. Chase Dunham, who took control of the championship points lead following the trip to Ohsweken and Buxton Speedways in June, has ripped off five top five finishes so far this year, including a runner-up performance at Buxton Speedway. Dunham has been lights-out in qualifying, though, grabbing five Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Awards, the only driver with more than one so far this season. Dunham holds a 28-point lead over four-time and defending GLSS Champion, Max Stambaugh, who holds four wins at I-96 Speedway, has been held winless as well so far this season. As for the MacAllister CAT (Michigan) Division, Dustin Daggett has his No.85 at the top of the standings, returning to the place he calls home. The Michigan championship standings is one of the best points battles with GLSS in recent memory, with the top five separated by roughly 100 points. Daggett brings in a 29-point advantage over Max Stambaugh and sits 49 points ahead of Chase Dunham. Inaugural GLSS Champion, Chase Ridenour holds down the fourth spot, hot off his win at Butler Motor Speedway in June, and a potential sleeper in the championship hunt, Boston Mead sits fifth just 110 points back from Daggett. With $5,000 on the line Friday night, the 20 or more GLSS regulars that fans are used to seeing throughout the season are likely to deal with plenty of outsiders looking to cash in on a payday. Pit gates at I-96 Speedway open at 4:00 PM with racing scheduled for 8:00PM. Saturday at Crystal Motor Speedway, pit gates open at 2:00 PM and racing is slated for 7:00 PM.

  Been Long Enough: Dustin Daggett Breaks Nearly Two Year Winless Streak; Dominates I-96 Speedway

  Lake Odessa, MI - There are drivers that you just expect to win. When they're on the race track, you know they can, and they should, get the job done. Portland, Michigan native, Dustin Daggett, is no exception. In a career that has spanned nearly a quarter of a century, Daggett has won in every season he's raced in, except one: 2025. His stats last year were great, 27 races with the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS), and 21 top five finishes, including countless runner-up finishes. Friday night at I-96 Speedway, fans were in attendance for a classic "Double D" performance around the high-speed 4/10ths mile in West Michigan. Rolling off on the outside of the front row with Chase Dunham, Daggett secured the lead at the exit of turn two, and made it clear he had a rocketship of a race car. At one point, Daggett opened up a nearly two-second advantage over Dunham, including while working through lapped traffic. A caution at the halfway point of the race put everyone on the edge of their seats. Dunham took a swipe to the inside of Daggett on the restart, but never could officially take the lead away from the 2018 GLSS Champion. With five laps to go, Daggett's car clearly changed as his pace fell off. Dunham and third-place-running Scott Bogucki were tracking Daggett down. It was clear Daggett was going to need to earn his win on Friday night. That was, until Bogucki threw a tight slider on Dunham at the exit of turn four. The move cost both drivers their momentum and allowed Daggett to pull away with the win. "It's been long enough," Dagget said in Victory Lane. "I've really got to thank my Grandpa, he does everything on these cars; he does all the maintenance, he does a ton of stuff. Everybody that touches this car, they do a hell of a job. The car started to get pretty tight on me there at the end." "Last year was the first year I didn't win a feature," Daggett said when asked if this was the toughest stretch of his career. "A lot of second places, but in my book that's just the first loser. Had a lot of those last year, but a good start this year." Bogucki held on to second, Max Stambaugh worked his way to third, with Brad Lamberson getting around Dunham late to finish out the top five. A Feature 1 (25 Laps): 1. 85-Dustin Daggett[2]; 2. 51-Scott Bogucki[6]; 3. 71H-Max Stambaugh[3]; 4. 27-Brad Lamberson[5]; 5. 66-Chase Dunham[1]; 6. 23-Devon Dobie[7]; 7. 31-Jac Nickles[11]; 8. 49T-Gregg Dalman[10]; 9. 12-Corbin Gurley[13]; 10. 38-Chase Ridenour[4]; 11. 77X-Alex Hill[9]; 12. 16-Ryan Ruhl[14]; 13. 42-Boston Mead[12]; 14. 7C-Phil Gressman[18]; 15. 13-Van Gurley Jr[17]; 16. 20I-Kelsey Ivy[16]; 17. 13T-Andy Teunessen[20]; 18. 27K-Zac Broughman[19]; 19. 19-Jett Mann[15]; 20. 17-Jared Horstman[8] Chase Dunham was the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Scott Bogucki won Engler Machine & Tool Heat Race 1. Dustin Daggett won Beacon & Bridge Markets Heat Race 2. Chase Ridenour won Miami Paint Heat Race 3. Kelsey Ivy won the Miami Paint B-Main. Scott Bogucki was the Operating Engineers 324 Hard Charger (+4).

  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.
