New Era Begins Friday for I-96 Speedway and Sprints On Dirt

Erie, MI (August 21, 2018) – I-96 Speedway and Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt share a long history, but this Friday, August 24^th, a new era begins as SOD races at I-96 for the first time under new track owner Jeff Dice who purchased the speedway last winter.

Friday’s race will be this year’s Dual On Dirt, a repeat of last year’s fan-favorite event.  The Dual On Dirt 2018 will feature Sprints On Dirt and IMCA modifieds, being billed as “SODs plus mods.”

Coldwater, Michigan’s Ryan Ruhl drove his familiar #16 to victory in last year’s Dual.  Ruhl showed his strength early as Lane Automotive/MSD Ignition Fast Master in the Engler Machine & Tool Heat group.  He then drove from his 4^th place heat race starting position to the win.  Chad Blonde (Litchfield, MI), current SOD championship point leader, finished 2^nd and Gregg Dalman (Bellevue, MI) finished 3^rd.

Track owner Dice, a Lansing area businessman, is excited about the speedway’s future and is determined to take it to the next level as a center for family entertainment.  Check out I-96 Speedway at www.i96speedway.com and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/I96Speedway/.
