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.

Crystal, MI. – (Saturday May 1st, 2010) – Dustin Daggett took the lead from Joe Bares on lap two, battled a majority of the event with ASCS Lucas Oil Series regular Darren Long, and held on during two last lap restarts for the victory in the Mott Motorsports car.

“That was a fun race,” said Daggett in victory lane. “We ran really good our first race out last Friday in Ohio and just continued on tonight. I can’t thank Phil and Marty Mott along with the rest of my team enough for giving me such a good race car tonight.”

Bares and Long started on the front row for the 25-lap feature event. The first attempt to start the race saw Bares get sideways and lose several positions as Long took the lead Then in turns three and four Ryan Grubaugh got sideways and Robert Huisken had nowhere to go and collided with Grubaugh to bring out the caution flag. Both drivers were unable to restart.

The second attempt at the start was better for Bares as he took the lead. After one lap though Bares was under pressure from Long and Daggett as the trio swapped the top position racing three wide through turns one and two with Daggett taking the lead. Long moved into second and went in pursuit of Daggett while Bares battled Gregg Dalman and Brett Mann for the third sport.

Daggett and Long separated themselves from the rest of the field. Daggett managed to get through lapped traffic until a pair of cautions on lap 16 and 17 for spins by Kirk Cheney and Curt Shumaker.

Long kept Daggett within striking distance until Lap 19 when Long nearly made contact with Daggett and doing so almost slid off the track. Long did not give up though and chipped away at Daggett’s lead and used slower traffic to close the gap with two laps to go.

As the leaders crossed under the white flag and appeared to headed for last lap theatrics the caution appeared for Shumaker who spun off the track.

The first attempt at the last lap restart saw Kirk Cheney nullify it with a spin in turn one. Daggett got the jump during the second attempt and Long could not make up the difference. Bares, Dalman, and Mann rounded out the top five.

Aaron Shaffer, Bares, and Long captured heat race victories, Andy Teunessen won the fast car dash, and Kyle Patrick won the B-Main.
