Quincy,Mi -(July 6 2013)-

Gregg Dalman led all 25 laps of the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP feature Saturday night at Butler Motor Speedway after starting outside of the front row, but he had to earn the victory.

Dalman grabbed the lead at the drop of the green with Dustin Daggett, who started on the pole, right on his tail with Chris Jones, Ryan Ruhl and Jared Horstman falling in line close behind. Action only lasted five laps as the red flew for flips by Josh Turner and Mike Burns in turn two on lap five. Both drivers emerged uninjured but were done for the night.

After the restart, Daggett dove low in turn four and nearly passed Dalman, but Dalman powered back to the front. One lap later the yellow appeared for Andy Teunessen going off turn two. As cars were taking the green Andy Chehowski took a nasty tumble coming out of turn four. He was not injured and turned down a ride in the ambulance.

With only six circuits complete the running order was Dalman, Daggett, Ryan Ruhl, Jared Horstman, Max Stambaugh and Kyle Patrick as the green came out again. Daggett now was all over Dalman but lap eight saw Daggett run out of race track as he flew off turn one bringing out yet another caution.

Now it was a three car battle with Dalman, Horstman and Ruhl putting some distance between themselves and the pack. Brett Mann now was on the move in 7^th after starting 20^th.

As the laps clicked off, Dalman, Horstman and Ruhl were not letting anyone near them as Stambaugh was holding onto 4^th and Brett Mann moved into 5^th after a fine charge through the field. The checkers flew over this this top five, ending the night of action. 20 cars entered the pits on a warm humid evening.

Heat races were won by Ryan Ruhl, Gregg Dalman and Kyle Patrick. Andy Teunessen took the dash win.

Merritt, MI — (June 29, 2013) —

In front of an enthusiastic Northern 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 second feature win of the 2013 season at Merritt Speedway in Lake City,MI.

A field of 23 winged sprint cars signed in at the tricky 3/8 mile oval.  Daggett took the lead from Jared Horstman with four laps to go and held off challenges from Gregg Dalman. After the race was over it was discovered that Horstman had a right rear tire losing pressure affecting his handling that allowed both Daggett and Dalman to pass him with less difficulty before the 25 lap feature was completed. The eventual winner raced the tough track very aggressively and was extremely excited in the Merritt victory lane.

The top five finishers of the evening for the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP feature were-Daggett,Dalman, Horstman, Chris Pobanz and Robert Huisken.

Heat race wins were captured by Andy Teunessen, Huisken and Daggett, the B main was scratched and all 21 running cars started the A-main. The Nitro Black Dash went to Mike Astrauskas. Troy Chehowski flipped his car during his heat race and Ryan Grubaugh did the same during the feature, both drivers were checked out and are okay.
