Championship Night by Daggett

By Mike Strevel

In front of a very supportive and cold Michigan crowd; the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP feature was picked up by Dustin Daggett of Grand Ledge,MI who captured his sixth feature win of the 2013 season at Tri City Motor Speedway in Auburn,MI In addition to the $2,000 first place payout Daggett also clinched his fourth championship of his storied career.

A field of 20 winged sprint cars signed in to be a part of the season championship races supported by Ferrea Racing Components. Daggett used an outside front row starting position to his advantage leading all 25 laps of the feature. The now four time SOD champion held off mid-race challenges from Ryan Ruhl and a late race challenge by Gregg Dalman. Only two cautions slowed the feature one being on the second lap and the other on the final circuit of the feature. The champion driver Daggett credited his hard working Mott Motorsports crew for giving him a great handling car for the night to capture the victory and fourth championship of his sprint car career.

The top five finishers of the evening for the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP feature were Daggett, Ruhl, Dalman, Chris Jones and Troy Chehowski.
Heat race wins were captured by John Gall,Daggett, and Jay Steinbach, the Nitro Black Dash went to Dalman and the Engine Pro Lucky Dog winner was Eric Smith.
