Crystal, Mi. – (July 20, 2013) Rain fell and clouds swirled near Crystal Motor Speedway Saturday afternoon prior to racing. It was a hurricane, Randy “The Hurricane” Hannagan, as he drove off with the 34 lap Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP feature Saturday night. The event was co-sanctioned by the Ohio based NRA series.

Skies looked ominous early but they cleared, cooler temperatures prevailed and another packed house saw Hannagan start on the pole with Gregg Dalman along side. Hannagan took command when the green flew and controlled the 34 lapper, which signified 34 years Sprints on Dirt had competed at Crystal.

Shawn Dancer applied pressure in the early going with Brett Mann, Butch Schroeder, and Dustin Daggett on the move from 9^th, all keeping Hannagan in their sights. Hannagan maintained the lead on the tricky slick track and was building on his lead until lap 23 when the only caution of the feature appeared for Gavin Hunyady sliding off turn two.

Dancer was still in second when the green came out but Brett Mann was able to move under Dancer to take 2^nd two laps later. With 30 laps in the books, Mann was closing on Hannagan and now Daggett was up to 3^rd with Dancer 4^th and Butch Schroeder 5^th.  Hannagan did not want any part of this action and charged to the checkers.

Heats for the 29 cars were won by Jared Horstman, Dancer, Mann and Hannagan. The B main went to Brett Lane and Dustin Daggett took the Dash.

Auburn, MI – (July 19, 2013) – Dustin Daggett out ran the competition and the weather to win Friday night’s Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP feature Friday night at Tri-City Motor Speedway. With lightning flashes all around the 3/8-mile race track Daggett took the lead on lap two and never relinquished it driving the Mott Motorsports owned car.

Teunessen and Mann started on the front row for the 25- Lap feature event. Mann took the lead into turn one while Teunessen, Gavin Hunyady, and Daggett raced three wide for second. Daggett took the second position on lap one and then drove under Mann off of turns three and four to take the lead on lap two. Hunyady challenged Mann for second when slipped up the race track and spun between turns three and four to bring out the caution flag. Hunyady restarted at the back of the field.

During the restart Daggett pulled away with Dalman moving up to second around Mann down the backstretch t after starting in the eighth spot in just three laps. Mann then found himself challenged by Teuenessen and Sprints on Dirt rookie Chris Jones for third. The trio raced two and three wide for a majority of the race.

Up front Dalman started to gain on Daggett as the duo approached slower traffic when Daggett crisscrossed his way through traffic and opened up a full straightaway advantage with 11 laped to go. From that point Daggett cruised to victory over Dalman, Mann, Teunessen, and Jones.

Before the races began Huisken picked up extra money in the qualification challenge at Tri-City by setting the fastest time. Daggett, Teunessen, and Dalman won heat race events. The dash was canceled due to inclement weather that closed in on the track.

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.
