Quincy, MI – (July 25, 2015) – Ryan Ruhl and Kevin Atkins won feature events Saturday night with the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP at Butler Speedway. Ruhl won the makeup feature that was rain delayed from June 13th while Atkins won the regularly scheduled SOD main event.

In the makeup feature Ruhl started on the front row and led all 25-laps in route to victory, holding off multiple challenges from Chase Ridenour for the victory.

In the regularly scheduled feature Linden Jones led a majority of the feature until getting tangled up with a slower car on lap 17. This gave Atkins the lead he would never relinquish.

Michigan’s new “Ruhl-er” is Ryan after Hartford victory

DSC_0829Hartford, MI – (July 24, 2015) – Ryan Ruhl held on through two late race restarts to win the King of Michigan event Friday night with the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP. Ruhl passed Dustin Daggett on lap ten and never looked back to claim his first King of Michigan crown.

Andy Teunessen and Craig Karazim started on the front row for the 25-lap feature. Karazim led through two corners before Daggett slid under him coming off turn four. After starting eighth Ruhl quickly worked his way into the top three on the opening lap, sliding by Karazim for second and started to run down Daggett.

Daggett and Ruhl raced through slower traffic when Daggett got caught behind a slower car on the bottom side of the race track. Ruhl went around that same car on the top and used his momentum topo power by with a slide job in turn four to take the lead.

Other than one close call that nearly resulted in spinning out Ruhl dominated the remainder of the event. Late race cautions for Nic Rogers slowing on the front stretch and a wild ride by Craig Karazim over the wall in turn two without turning over did not stop Ruhl from winning over Daggett, Teuenssen, Trey Smith, and Gregg Dalman.
