Quincy, MI (August 20, 2022) - After racking up 10 top 5 finishes with no wins in the first 14 races of the Great Lakes Super Sprints presented by Engine Pro & ARP 2022 Season, Max Stambaugh (Elida, OH) added his 3rd win tonight in the last 4 outings, at the Battle Grounds of Butler Motor Speedway.
With 21 cars registering for tonights event, local regular Logan Easterday (Coldwater, MI) was the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier. Brad Lamberson (Parma, MI), who recorded his first win of the season the night before, was 2nd quick and Phil Gressman (Fremont, OH) was 3rd quick.
Danny Sams III recorded the win in the Engler Machine & Tool Heat 1, with Keith Sheffer, Jr (Jerome, MI) and Easterday rounding out the top 3.
The Jim Coffey & Sons Plumbing & Heating Heat race two was won by Stambaugh, while Tylar Rankin (Coldwater, MI) secured the 2nd redraw spot and Lamberson finished third.
Gregg Dalman (Bellevue, MI) led green flag to checkered in the Beacon and Bridge Markets Heat 3. Past GLSS Champions Gressman and Dustin Daggett (Portland, MI) rounded out the top 3.
Rolling out for the PERFiT A-Main, Dalman and Stambaugh led the field around to the green. Stambaugh wins the race to turn one and secures the lead as the field makes a clean 1st circuit. With a couple of cautions giving the field a chance to keep Stambaugh reined in, the battle for the top 5 positions was fierce the whole race. As the race was winding down, Rankin and Sams finally pryed 2nd place away from Gressman with 4 laps to go.
With only two laps to go, Rankin and Sams had reeled Stambaugh in and got close enough with the checkered flag in the air to be on Stambaughs bumper as he crossed the finish line.
Current Champion, Ryan Ruhl (Coldwater, MI) earned tonights Hoosier Racing Tire Hard Charger by moving up 8 spots to finish 9th.
