Tripleheader Weekend on Tap for Great Lakes Super Sprints

Merrill, MI - The Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP are geared up for a tripleheader weekend as summer unofficially begins with Memorial Day Weekend. The best 360 sprint car drivers in the Midwest will converge on Limaland Motorsports Park Friday, Millstream Speedway Saturday, and Waynesfield Raceway Park on Sunday.


 

The third appearance this season at Limaland Motorsports Park opens the door for someone to try and take down the three-time and defending GLSS Champion, Max Stambaugh. The Smith Motorsports No.71H found Victory Lane in dominating fashion in the first two visits of the season after starting on the front row and leading every lap. Dustin Daggett and Mike Keegan eyed Stambaugh in the May 2nd contest, while Jared Horstman and Chase Dunham chased Stambaugh during last Friday night’s contest.


 

Millstream Speedway is set to host the Ohio CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints on Saturday night for the first race in Findlay, Ohio this season. On the historic 4/10ths mile oval, GLSS teams will try to navigate the fast track for just the second time in history. In October of 2024, Zane DeVault launched from the pole in his Lane Racing No.44 alongside Phil Gressman. DeVault went on to hold off Kasey Jedrzejek and Van Gurley, Jr for the win. Alongside GLSS on Saturday, the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints Presented by MacAllister CAT will also be in action - this will be the first time GLTS has contested an event on the 4/10ths mile at Millstream. Ricky Lewis held off Korbyn Hayslett in August of 2024 on the inside track for the first GLTS win at Millstream.


 

Sunday, “The Field of Speed” welcomes GLSS for the first time in 2025. Waynesfield Raceway Park hosts the first event of the 2025 season on Sunday with the high-flying GLSS alongside DIRTcar UMP Modifieds and Dirt Pro Trucks. In three visits last season, Jedrzejek outdualed Dustin Daggett for the win in July, Gressman found victory lane in August, and Nate Dussel went to GLSS Victory Lane in October. 


 

Advanced tickets for Saturday and Sunday’s shows are available online at GreatLakesSuperSprints.com. Fans who can’t make the trip to the track can catch the action all weekend long online at GreatLakesSprints.Tv. For more information on the Great Lakes Super Sprints, visit www.GreatLakesSprints.com.

“Run for the Rabbit” Returns to Limaland Friday with Great Lakes Super Sprints


 

 

Lima, OH - The Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS) are set to return to Ohio this Friday night for the annual “Run for the Rabbit” at Limaland Motorsports Park. A staple on the Limaland calendar, the “Run for the Rabbit”, a tribute race honoring the memory of the late Travis "The Rabbit" Miller, enters the 26th season in 2025 and second season under the GLSS banner.


 

The “Run for the Rabbit” has seen 15 different winners since the first event in 2000. Tim Allison won the event in 2000 & 2002, with Mike Brecht being crowned the 2001 champion. Rainouts in 2003 and 2004 delayed the next installment of the race to 2005, where Greg Wilson went to Victory Lane. Brecht earned his second Rabbit win in 2006 before 2017 Great Lakes Super Sprints Champion, Phil Gressman, earned his win in 2007. JR Stewart collected his first of two Rabbit wins in 2008 before earning his second eight years later in 2016. Rob Cheney earned a win in 2009 and Butch Schroeder in 2010.


 

The all-time “Run for the Rabbit” race winner, Randy Hannagan, earned his first in the 10th running of the race in 2011; he then went on to win in 2013, 2015, and 2018. Ronnie Blair took home the honors in 2012, it was Shawn Dancer in 2014, and 2018 GLSS champion, Dustin Daggett, earned the win in 2017. Two-time GLSS Champion, Jared Horstman grabbed his first Rabbit win in 2019 and again in 2022. Harli White and Tylar Rankin grabbed their first Rabbit wins in 2021 and 2023, and Jac Nickles earned his first career sprint car win during the “Run for the Rabbit” in 2024.


 

GLSS drivers are headed back to Limaland for the second time this season, after hometown driver, Max Stambaugh put on a clinic two weeks ago for his first Limaland win with GLSS. Stambaugh now leads the Ohio CAT Division Championship by 15 points over regional champion, Daggett. The GLSS Tour, however, paints a different picture. A pair of wins in the Mitten State have elevated Horstman to the top of the Championship pedestal and to the top of the all-time wins list with 27.


 

The 23rd running of the Run for the Rabbit is Friday, May 16th at Limaland Motorsports Park. Tickets are available at the gate on race day. Pits open at 4:30 PM, General Admission at 5:00 PM and racing is set to begin at 7:30 PM. Fans who can’t make the trip can watch the event live at www.GreatLakesSprints.Tv.

  MUST SEE RACING TO USE POPULAR FAST CAR DASH FORMAT AT BERLIN

May 26, 2025 – The Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts returns to racing action this Saturday night May 31 when the series returns to Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan. It will be the first of two visits to Berlin Raceway for the series this season.

This will be the second attempt to get the season opener completed. The original season opener was slated for Lancaster Motorplex in Lancaster, New York on May 17. Persistent drizzle and damp conditions forced cancellation of the event just prior to the feature event.

The Lancaster event drew a strong field of cars that included Davey Hamilton Jr., Bobby Santos, Kody Swanson, and Aron Willison among others. Hamilton Jr. was the evenings fast qualifier. A roster just as stout is expected for the Berlin event.

This Saturday’s Berlin appearance will see the return of the ‘Perfit Fast Car Dash’ format. The top three qualifiers and heat winners will be placed into a dice roll that will determine starting positions for the $4,000 to win 30-lap feature event. The format has provided entertaining racing when used at select Must See Racing events over the years.

The early-expected entry list for Berlin reveals nearly twenty cars headlined by defending series champion Joe Liguori who has sights set on defending his crown.

The Berlin event will also see the return of five-time champion Jimmy McCune for the first time in a handful of events. Other expected entrants include Teddy Alberts, Charlie Baur, Adam Biltz, Andrew Bogusz, JJ Dutton, Tom Geren, Hamilton Jr., Rick Holley, Bobby Komisarski, Ryan Litt, Kevin Mingus, Tommy Nichols, Alby Ovitt, Bobby Santos III, Charie Schultz, Dorman Snyder, and defending Open Wheel Showdown champion Kody Swanson.

Three-time Little 500 champion Jeff Bloom is also expected to compete. It will be a historic event for Bloom as it will be the 54th consecutive year Bloom has competed in a sprint car event. His sprint car career began in 1972, although he had been running super modifieds since 1967.

THE EMPIRE STATE OF NEW YORK TO HOST MUST SEE RACING OPENER

 

May 14, 2025 – Holly, Michigan - The Must See Racing Sprint Series Present by Perfit-Parts is set to kick off its 2025 season this Saturday night May 17, 2025, when the winged 410 pavement sprint car series will make its return to with Empire State of New York for the second consecutive year. The series is set to invade the ½-mile Lancaster Motorplex in Lancaster, New York for an event that will pay the winner $5,000 with $700 to start.

The series made its return to the area for the first time in twelve years last season and was greeted by an impressive crowd eager to see 410-winged sprint cars race on pavement again. A bigger crowd is expected this year due to the expected driver lineup and exciting racing that was presented at last year’s event. This Saturday’s event will mark only the fourth time ever that 410 asphalt winged sprint cars have competed in the state of New York.

Lancaster Motorplex first opened in 1959 as a dirt track. It was paved in 1963 and has raced as a pavement track ever since. Lancaster is 14 miles east of downtown Buffalo. Although winged sprint cars have only competed at Lancaster Motorplex once, it has been a regular stop for winged Super Modifieds over the years.

Aaron Willison started eight in last year’s 30-lap feature event and put on a thrilling driving clinic as he worked his way to the front. On the final lap, and corner, he got alongside an unsuspecting Bobby Santos III. Santos narrowly held off Willison for the win and $5,000 paycheck.

A very strong field of drivers is expected for Saturday night’s event headlined by defending MSR champion Joe Ligouri. Local Oswego, New York driver Logan Crisafulli is also expected to be on hand. Other expected drivers include Adam Biltz, JJ Dutton, Tom Geren, Davey Hamilton Jr., JJ Henes, Bobby Komisarski, Kevin Mingus, Tommy Nichols, Alby Ovitt, Charlie Schultz, and Keegan Weese.

The event will also feature the top three 2024 National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings drivers of Kody Swanson, Aaron Willison, and Bobby Santos III. This will mark only the second time in the past two years all three drivers have competed in an event at the same time. Swanson was crowned the 2024 National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings top ranked driver last season.

A full night of racing is planned with heat races and a 30-lap feature event capping off the night. For more information, please visit www.mustseeracing.com or http://www.lancastermotorplexny.com.

SANDUSKY SPEEDWAY TO HOST THE MUST SEE RACING BOB FREY CLASSIC JULY 23rd

April 27, 2025 – Holly, Michigan - Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts announced today that the popular Bob Frey Classic will return to the MSR schedule in 2025 after a one-year hiatus. The event will also move to Sandusky Speedway in Sandusky, Ohio and will kick off The Hy-Miler Supermodified Nationals with a Wednesday night event July 23, 2025.

It is only fitting that the 3rd edition of the Bob Frey Classic be hosted by Sandusky Speedway. The event annually honors 5-time Little 500 champion Frey who grew up in nearby Elyria. Frey began his racing career in 1970 at Sandusky Speedway and Lorain County Speedway running the supermodified/ sprint cars. A significant amount of Frey’s career wins came at Sandusky Speedway.

The Bob Frey Classic will feature the Must See Racing National 410 Sprint Series and the Must See Racing Midwest Lights as well as other support classes to be announced. The event will be part of the weeklong 48th annual Hy-Miler Supermodified Nationals that will feature a variety of racing capped off by the ISMA/MSS Supermodifieds on July 25-26, 2025.

Frey, who now resides in Wickenburg, Arizona, has stayed out of the limelight since his retirement from racing in 1993. He has attended very few races or made public appearances prior to his 2022 induction into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame. This will be one of the few opportunity’s fans will have to meet the Sandusky Speedway legend.

Frey is most famous for his time behind the wheel of the yellow #20 Glen Niebel V-6. But Frey found early success with local car owners Ernie Ensign and Urbie Durnwald prior to teaming up with Niebel in 1980. Most of Frey’s Sandusky Speedway victories came aboard the Ensign and Durnwald entries.

Frey was one of the finest pavement sprint car chafers of his era. He won five Little 500 sprint car races from 1980-1990. He also won 4 Copper World Classic sprint car events on the one-mile Phoenix International Raceway oval (now Phoenix Raceway) from 1981-1987. Frey also made three CART/INDYCAR starts from 1980-1981 including unsuccessful Indianapolis 500 efforts in 1981 and 1982.

Frey, now 74, will serve as the events GRAND MARSHALL, participating in a pre-race meet-and greet, special autograph session with race fans, and post-race victory lane trophy presentations.

More details on the 3rd edition of the Bob Frey Classic will be announced in the coming weeks. Visit www.mustseeracing.com for updates.

May 8, 2025 - New Smyrna, Florida - The BG Products Southern Sprint Car Series presented by P1 Chassis and New Smyrna Speedway officials jointly announced today that The BG Products Southern Sprint Cars will be returning to New Smyrna Speedway Saturday night August 30, 2025. It will be the first time winged sprint cars have competed at the historic Florida venue since 2019.

A big night is being planned for the return of sprints cars. The night is being billed as Advance Auto Parts Family Fun Night. The Stars and cars of the BG Products Southern Sprint Cars series will be showcased in front of a huge crowd and NASCAR that night,  General admission tickets will only be $10 on this night and will also feature five additional classes of racing including: Spectators, Bomber A, Bomber B, Ground Pounders, and Mod Mini’s.

Rick Day, series owner and director “said We are looking forward to returning to the famed New Smyrna Speedway for the first time in almost 6 years.  New Smyrna is one of the premier tracks in Florida and our drivers, teams and fans have been asking for the return for years.  We want to thank the Hart Family, Robert, Jane and Andrew along with Rusty Marcus and Holli Hanna for this opportunity to race again at New Smyrna Speedway.” We look forward to the return and many more events in the future.

New Smyrna Speedway is excited to have the return of the BG Sprint Car Series.  We have been watching their series at other tracks and are happy to see a lot of excitement building for the series.  

We are going to do something unheard of with this event.  This event will be during our Advance Auto Parts fan night.  To celebrate both Advance Auto Parts and BG Southern Sprints return we are going to offer it as an enhanced family fun night!  Only $10 general admission and of course kids 11 and under are always free at NSS.

The BG Products Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series last visited New Smyrna Speedway nearly six years ago on October 12, 2019. Sport Allen won that last event and is expected to be on hand for the return of sprint cars.

New Smyrna Speedway is the biggest and fastest short track in the state of Florida. The high-banked half-mile started life as a dirt track in 1965. It was paved the following season where it has remained as pavement since.

Winged sprint cars are no strangers to New Smyrna Speedway. In recent years the BG Products Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series has been the sanctioning body of all winged sprint car events dating back to 2016. Prior to that, the Tampa Bay Area Racing Association sanctioned many events beginning in the 1970’s through the mid 2000’s.

Drivers who have won winged sprint car events at New Smyrna in recent years include Dave Steele, Troy DeCaire, and Shane Butler to name a few.

The August 30 event will pay $2,000 to win and $600 to start. Series officials indicated this event could offer additional purse monies as we get closer to the event on behalf of sponsors. More details will be announced on this event in the coming weeks.
