Michigan Dirt Super Late Model Power Rankings 07/18/24



Last week was massive for the Dirt Super Late Model Power Rankings thanks to the DIRTcar UMP Summer Nationals Hell Tour rolling through Michigan for what was scheduled to be three nights of racing. However, Mother Nature washed away Wednesday's contest at Hartford Speedway. Butler and Crystal Motor Speedways hosted the Hell Tour on their scheduled nights of Thursday and Friday. Then, Crystal returned to action on Saturday night plus racing from Thunderbird Raceway.


Tyler Erb swept the Michigan Hell Tour stop with a pair of dramatic finishes. Chad Finley and Wil Harrington had pulled away from Erb on Thursday at Butler, but a caution allowed the Erb to return to the fight. Erb showed his nose around the outside of both drivers in lapped traffic before attempting a slidejob on Harrington and the lapped car resulting in a caution. On the next restart, Erb was again coming around the top when Harrington air-mailed it into turn three collecting Finley ending both driver's shot at a win.


On Friday, Dona Marcoullier looked to be in line to back up his 2020 Hell Tour win at Tri City with another win at Crystal. The technical race track had drivers mostly on the cushion at the top of the track. After the halfway mark, Erb was reeling in the No.6M when Marcoullier made a mistake in turn one opening the door for Erb to go on for the win.


On Saturday, Travis Stemler won at Crystal; his fifth win of the season in Michigan opening his lead on the Power Rankings for 2024. Meanwhile, Matthew Sprague collected his first win of the season at Thunderbird Raceway.
