Plymouth, IN — (October 4, 2014) — In front of a frigid and dedicated Plymouth Speedway crowd ; the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP feature was picked up by Rico Abreu of Rutherford, CA who captured his first ever feature win with the Michigan based sprint car sanctioning body.

A field of 20 winged sprint cars signed in at the tricky3/8 mile oval. Ryan Ruhl lead the first 11 laps of the feature event hoping to score his first ever SOD championship only to be involved with a couple of slower cars that caused extensive front end damage to the Coldwater, MI drivers car. A red flag was thrown for the cleanup and with this short window the Ruhl team was able to make repairs and return to the race track. Ruhl restarted in the rear and over the final 14 laps Ruhl was able to work his way to an eighth place finishing position.

Wisconsin racer Scotty Thiel inherited the lead from Ruhl and held the lead and looked to be the victor of his first ever SOD feature event. However Abreu who started 10th in the feature was making his move through the field and was running third at the half way point of the feature. Abreu took second place from Ohio driver Devon Dobie on lap 17 and started his charge on Thiel. Over the next four laps an incredible battle developed between Abreu and Thiel with the two drivers exchanging the lead three times before Thiel got tangled with a lapped car and came to a stop in turn three on lap 23. Abreu restarted with the lead and held off Shawn Dancer and Dustin Daggett for the win for the final race of the 2014 season.

The battle for the 2014 points championship came down to the final laps with Daggett taking a third place finishing position and Ruhl digging his way back to eighth. This finish allowed Daggett to gain 19 points on Ruhl and end up with a seven point lead over Ruhl to capture his record breaking fifth series championship in the 35 year history of the group.

The top five finishers of the evening for the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP feature were- Abreu, Dancer, Daggett,Dobie and Chase Ridenour.

Heat race wins were captured by Thiel, Daggett and Dancer.

Marne, MI – (September 26, 2014) – Dustin Daggett has Berlin Raceway figured out.

Daggett continued his perfect record in feature events at Berin after winning Friday night’s Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP feature event. Daggett took the lead at the start and never relinquished it, lapping cars into the top five by the end of the feature. The win worth $5,000 was Daggett’s fourth SOD victory of the 2014 season and seventh overall for 2014.

“Something about this place that the car really works good here,” said Daggett after the feature. “This was a different setup than we had the in car last year, and I think the car was even better tonight. I know (Randy) Hannagan was catching me when I was running the top in one and two, then I noticed a lap before the caution came out that (Kyle Sauder) pulled away from me coming out of two on the bottom. So the next lap I was planning on going to the bottom and then the caution came out. The car was a rocked.”

Daggett started on the front row with Jared Horstman for the feature event. Daggett took the lead immediately leaving Horstman and Hannagan to race for second. Following a caution for Brett Mann stopping in turn two Daggett pulled away and quickly started to overtake lapped traffic. Hannagan worked past Horstman on lap 21 and started to reel in Daggett in thick traffic.

Just when it appeared Hannagan might need a caution, it turned out he brought one out himself with an incident between turns three and four. Hannagan had to retire pit side.

This lined up Horstman behind Daggett for a restart with just three laps to go, but Daggett was up to the challenge and motored to the victory. Horsman held on for the runner up stop while Ruan Ruhl topped a spirited battle with Max Stambaugh for the final podium position. Sauder rounded out the top five after starting 19th.

Lamberson, Andy Chehowski, Daggett, and Hannagan won heat races. Brett Mann won the B-Main event.
