Category 4 Hurricane: Horstman Wins Fourth GLSS Feature at I-96 Friday
 

Lake Odessa, MI - The MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP were back in action at I-96 Speedway Friday night and all eyes were on the two-time GLSS Champion, Jared Horstman. So far in 2025, Horstman has been held out of victory lane in the Mitten State just one time; and the result was second. 
 

Rolling off alongside fellow Ohio driver, Jac Nickles, Horstman will technically get credit for leading all 25 laps around the track, but it wasn’t a cake walk. Nickels gave everything he could to Horstman on the opening lap, in fact, the naked eye would struggle to accuratley say who led the opening lap at the line. Horstman settled into the top spot, but only for a moment before the first caution flag flew for Jay Steinebach who went up in smoke down the backstretch. Simultaneously, Mike Keegan and Scotty Thiel reported to the work area as the caution flew but were unable to return.
 

Only three more laps were tallied before Chase Ridenour’s No.38 lost power exiting turn two, drawing a yellow for the second time. Then, on the restart, Jett Mann made contact with the right rear of Ryan Ruhl, sending Mann for a wild flip off the top of turns one and two. Mann was reportedly checked and released from a nearby hospital after the crash. 
 

With 21 laps to go, the field was turned loose once again. Horstman held off Nickles who charged to the inside on the restart but couldn’t get the run to get to the front.  Meanwhile, Keith Sheffer, Jr, Dustin Daggett, and Max Stambaugh were in a tight battle that saw Sheffer go plus five on the night to finish on the podium yet again. 
 

Traffic would prove no issue for Horstman who cut through the backmarkers while maintaining his gap over Nickles. The win was the fourth of the season with GLSS and his 100th career sprint car victory.
 

Dustin Daggett earned the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Award.
 

Daggett won the Engler Machine & Tool Heat Race 1.
 

Horstman won Beacon & Bridge Markets Heat 2.
 

Jac Nickles won MacAllister CAT Heat Race 3.
 

Andy Tuenessen won the Operating Engineers 324 B-Main.
 

Zac Broughman was the Hoosier Racing Tire Hard Charger gaining seven spots.
 

The next event for the Great Lakes Super Sprints is Friday, June 27th at Tri City Motor Speedway in Auburn, MI and Saturday, June 28th at Crystal Motor Speedway in Crystal, MI. Fans who can’t make the trip can catch the action at www.GreatLakesSprints.Tv.

Three-Time Champ, Stambaugh Earns Third Lima Win of 2025 with GLSS


LIMA, OH - The Ohio CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP showed up to a version of Limaland Motorsports Park that produced intense racing throughout the entire night. After four different leaders of the race, Elida, Ohio native, Max Stambaugh found GLSS victory lane for the third time this season at his home track.


 

Corbin Gurley and Luke Griffith led the field to green in the setting sun Friday night after a day filled with overcast skies and moments of drizzly rain. Gurley jumped out and led the first lap, but a hard-charging Jared Horstman came from sixth to take the lead on lap two.


 

While Horstman raced away quickly to lapped traffic, the battle raged on for third through sixth as Phil Gressman, Kasey Jedrzejek, and Max Stambaugh all argued for realestate around the track. While that was going on, Horstman slapped the wall down the backstretch while trying to set-up a pass on lapped traffic, which allowed Gurley to chase down the two-time GLSS Champion. As Gurley was setting up the pass, the right front tire went down entering turn one and Horstman’s No.17 came to a stop at the top of turn two. A trip to the work area to change the tires brought Horstman back onto the race track.


 

On the restart, Gurley and Gressman raced hard for the lead, and it proved to be important as Jedrzejek was challenging for the lead entering turn three and clipped the opening in the wall to exit the track. While his No.11N didn’t flip, the damage ended Jedrzejek’s night. The leader at the last completed lap was Gressman.


 

With 14 laps to go, Gressman brought the field back to life. Stambaugh made his move around Gurley to take the second spot as Gressman was catching lapped traffic. With five laps to go, Stambaugh and Gressman exchanged lanes on the track like trading cards. Finally, Stambaugh got to Gressman’s inside in traffic and officially took the lead with two laps to go. Carving his way through traffic, Stambaugh opened up his advantage and held on to collect his third win at Limaland and fourth of the season. Gressman held on to second, Gurley third, Noah Dunlap fourth, and Dustin Daggett fifth.


 

“First off, Horstman was on a roll,” Stambaugh said in victory lane. “We got her trucking so I didn’t lift, I can promise you that. We might have got her a little hot tonight, but this is my third win at Lima this year - you dream about [stuff] like  this as a little kid.”


 

The next event for the Ohio CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints is Saturday, June 7th at Lawrenceburg Speedway. Advanced tickets are available online at GreatLakesSuperSprints.com. Fans who can’t make the trip can watch the action LIVE at www.GreatLakesSprints.Tv.

Back Home Again in Michigan; Great Lakes Super Sprints Head to Hartford and Butler

Merrill, MI - The Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS) are headed back to the place it all started with a pair of stops in Michigan this Friday and Saturday night. Southwest Michigan’s, Hartford Speedway hosts GLSS for the one and only show at the uniquely shaped Speedway on Friday, before Michigan’s home for Sprint Car Racing, Butler Motor Speedway, welcomes in the 360 Sprint Cars for the first of two scheduled stops this season.


 

The weekend trip is an exciting one based on what fans saw last season. Each facility was featured in the GLSS Top 10 races of 2024 countdown from the off-season. Hartford is known for being fast and technical with a different shape and grove in turns one and two than what is featured in turns three and four. Drivers know they need to be careful entering turn three or calamity could strike. 


 

In the spring visit to Hartford in 2025, Phil Gressman held off Max Stambaugh and Jared Horstman for the win. In August, a completely different crop of drivers was at the front; Keith Sheffer, Jr earned the win over Dustin Daggett and Kelsey Ivy. Hartford Speedway also welcomes the Super Troopers and Cyber Stocks for Friday night’s racing.


 

On Saturday, Butler Motor Speedway has a dual sprint car feature with GLSS serving as the headliner and the weekly 410 Winged Sprint Cars alongside. Butler was the number one show in 2024 according to the countdown with intense racing throughout the field in both shows last year including slide jobs, lapped traffic, and hair-raising moments while battling for position.


 

Corbin Gurley earned his first career GLSS win last spring at Butler with an impressive move through lapped traffic to get around Phil Gressman and then Max Stambaugh for the win. In August, Kasey Jedrzejek pulled a massive slidejob after a restart to get by Dustin Daggett for the win. Keith Sheffer, Jr moved through for second with Daggett falling to third. DIRTcar UMP Modifieds and Compacts are also on Saturday night’s schedule.


 

Tickets for each event this weekend in Michigan are available at the gate on race day. Racing is set to begin each night at 7:30 PM. Fans who can’t make the trip can catch all the action LIVE at www.GreatLakesSprints.Tv.

Great Lakes Super Sprints Head for Limaland and Lawrenceburg

Merrill, MI - The Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS) are geared up for a doubleheader weekend with a pair of events for the Ohio CAT division this Friday and Saturday night. The action begins Friday at Limaland Motorsports Park for the Ron Kahle Jr. Memorial before heading down to Lawrenceburg Speedway for the loan stop in southern Indiana this season.


 

The first three races at Limaland have seen just two different winners so far. Hometown driver and three-time and defending GLSS Champion, Max Stambaugh, took the first two appearances at Limaland with wins on May 2nd for the Ohio CAT Division opener and then again on Saturday, May 16th during the Run for the Rabbit, Stambaugh’s first. On May 23rd, Kasey Jedrzejek made his first appearance of 2025 with GLSS and made it count, holding off a hard-charging Nate Dussel, on his way to victory lane for the first time this season.


 

In 2024, Lawrenceburg Speedway hosted nearly 30 cars in the first-ever visit for GLSS. Jedrzejek set fast time in the final group of qualifying turning in a 13.371. Some top names in 360 Sprint Car racing had to come through a B-Main, including Randy Hannagan, Phil Gressman, and Jared Horstman. In the A-Main, Danny Sams III, who started fourth, trailed Jedrzejek through the early part of the race, which saw several cautions on a technical race track. Jedrzejek and Sams were nearly involved in their own caution when they collided in turns three and four while working lapped traffic. The hit, which was significant, flattened Jedrzejek’s tire and resulted in a solo spin in turn two. Sams went on to collect the win over Stambaugh and Hannagan, who was the hard charger, gaining 15 spots.


 

The Championship battles are good entering the month of June. In the Ohio CAT division, Stambaugh holds a 65-point advantage over fellow Ohio driver Horstman, and a 68-point advantage over the most recent GLSS winner, Devon Dobie. Meanwhile, the battle to become and overall Tour Champion is tight. Just three points separate Stambaugh from Horstman entering the weekend.


 

Tickets for Friday’s event at Limaland Motorsports Park are available at the gate on raceday. Advanced tickets for Lawrenceburg Speedway on Saturday are available online at www.GreatLakesSuperSprints.com. Fans who can’t make it to the track can catch all the action online at www.GreatLakesSprints.Tv.

Midwest Lights Stars Bogusz & Henes Split Lorain Twin 20 Victories

 

KR Poole

SOUTH AMHERST, Ohio (June 7, 2025) – Andrew Bogusz and J.J. Henes opened the Must See Racing Maxima Midwest Lights season by splitting Saturday night’s Twin 20s held at Lorain Raceway Park.

Bogusz started on the outside pole in race one after a six-car invert from qualifying and led from start to finish, holding off a concerted late charge from Henes, who advanced from the rear of the field to finish second after having to visit the work area prior to the warm-up laps.

In earning his sixth career Midwest Lights victory, Bogusz took the checkered flag a slim .336-second margin ahead of Henes, with Charlie Baur completing the podium in third place.

“Track position was extremely important, as it is in any race, but particularly with these cars … if you can get out in clean air and make the most of it, you’ll have more downforce on your car and be able to make speed,” Bogusz explained. “It wasn’t easy to aero-block J.J. once I knew he was on my bumper, but it was about defending to where I could get him to use his stuff up a bit more.”

Henes tipped that “it’s just so tough to chase down someone who has open track ahead of him” after the first feature, but he didn’t let that hold him back in the nightcap.

The two-time and defending series champion came from fourth to first in just nine laps during race two, passing outside polesitter and early leader Charlie Schultz to take control for good.

From there, Henes set sail en route to his 11th career Midwest Lights feature win, extending his own series record in the process. Schultz was second and teenager Keegan Weese finished third for his first podium finish in a full-size sprint car.

“Getting a good start to get to second on the first lap was definitely key,” said Henes of his path to victory. “From there it was all about stringing together consistent laps to catch Charlie and then making the move to sneak underneath him. It wasn’t easy, but proud of this team for bouncing back strong and getting it done after we missed out on the first one by just a bit.”

Bogusz battled dirty air in the second race, after the top five finishers from race one were inverted, and could only muster a fourth-place finish in that 20-lapper.

“Getting boxed in on the start and having nowhere to go didn’t help us,” said Bogusz of the latter feature. “I could have tried to shoot the gap … but my car built really tight and the stagger closing up for the feature made it really challenging on corner exit to where we couldn’t run the top three down.”

Both Twin 20s ran green-to-checkered without a caution and were completed in four minutes and 38 seconds apiece.

The feature purse was paid out by virtue of combined points from qualifying and both features. The twin-race format awarded half points for each of the two 20-lap contests.

With 64 total points during the night, Henes received the $1,000 winner’s share for his efforts.

The Must See Racing Maxima Midwest Lights Series returns to action June 21 at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Mich., alongside the national Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series.

The results:

Qualifying (group format): 1. 36-JJ Henes, 13.141; 2. 77P-Charlie Schultz, 13.579; 3. 23-Charlie Baur, 13.598; 4. 37-Keegan Weese, 13.631; 5. 17-Andrew Bogusz, 13.844; 6. 51-Rick Holley, 13.901; 7. 38-Adam Biltz, 14.340.

Santos Snookers Litt In A Must See Thriller At Berlin

MARNE, Mich. (May 31, 2025) – Just before Ryan Litt could stamp his claim on virtual ownership of Berlin Raceway Saturday night, Bobby Santos III swooped in and snatched the proverbial paperwork from the Canadian’s fingertips.

Santos made a thrilling pass of Litt with three laps left to steal the win in the Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series feature at the seven-sixteenths-mile oval, officially opening the tour’s 2025 campaign after an aborted attempt at Lancaster (N.Y.) Motorplex two weeks earlier.

The Franklin, Mass., veteran chased Litt down from nearly three seconds back in the second half of the 30-lapper, as Litt struggled for multiple circuits to dispatch the slower lap car of Bobby Komisarski.

Finally, with Santos breathing down his neck, Litt made a desperation dive to the apron in turn four to get underneath Komisarski and get his No. 07 into clean air for the closing moments.

Though he made the move stick with four to go, the damage was already done, as Santos flared three-wide to the outside at the same moment.

From there, Santos used the high-line momentum to soar around both Komisarski and Litt, ultimately taking the lead on the 28th lap before going on to win by 2.242 seconds in the end.

It marked Santos’ second straight springtime win at Berlin with Must See Racing and the 11th victory of his career, breaking a tie with Jason Blonde for third on the series’ all-time win list.

“That was tough,” said Santos in victory lane. “Ryan ran such a good race. He had the disadvantage of being the leader. Sometimes being in second is an advantage, and we were lucky for that today. Hats off to Ryan and his team, though, because they put together a great race.”

The jubilation for Santos’ entire family was evident in the winner’s circle, led by his eldest son Julian.

“I definitely don’t win nearly as many races as we should,” said Santos beside his winning No. 22a, DJ Racing-prepared sprinter. “I feel like I'm letting these guys down. Julian’s winning basketball games and I’m not winning enough races out here. But we finally won a race for him today.”

Litt was going for his fourth Berlin victory in the last seven Must See Racing events at the track, and appeared to be in prime position after starting from the outside of the front row and jumping out to the early advantage ahead of polesitter and defending series champion Joe Liguori.

But as the laps wore on in Saturday’s caution-free main event, the handle on Litt’s car went away, and he fell into Santos’ grasp as he struggled with the turbulence from being trapped behind Komisarski for so long.

It all proved simply too much to overcome in the end for Litt, who joked in victory lane that he “might need to buy some space on the property” with how well Berlin has treated him in recent years.

“When you’re the guy chasing first place, you can see everything going on in front,” said Litt of Santos. “You can kind of go where the leader isn’t, right? It’s just really unfortunate. We had a great car. It was locked down until, I don’t know, 10 or 12 to go. The car just got super loose in traffic. I was really having trouble getting around Bobby [Komisarski] there. He was smoking the [right rear] tire and kind of all over the track.

“It’s just a bummer to lose one like this. It sucks. I hate getting second. I hate losing like this,” Litt lamented. “Hats off to Bobby, though; that guy’s one of the best in the country. It’s no shame losing to those guys, but yeah … it’s a bummer for the whole crew after we worked all day and had the car perfect until about 10 to go when it really counted.”

Liguori completed the podium, his best Must See Racing finish since a runner-up effort at Owosso Speedway last June, followed by Charlie Schultz and Komisarski among the top five finishers.

Saturday night’s feature ran green-to-checkered in a scant seven minutes and 17 seconds, the fastest-ever 30-lap event for Must See Racing at Berlin in its 15 years of racing there.

Eight-time USAC Silver Crown Series champion Kody Swanson kicked off the program with the fastest time in qualifying, a lap of 13.336 seconds (118.101 mph) in the potent No. 50m owned by Dick Myers.

Dorman Snyder and Liguori went on to win their respective heat races, while Swanson dropped out of heat two early with engine woes that relegated him to the rear of the starting grid for the feature.

The issues persisted and forced Swanson to retire after just one lap in the main. He finished 12th.

Of note, a new format was utilized at Berlin, with the top four in qualifying and the two heat winners going onto the die for the Perfit Pole Roll that helped to set the lineup for the 30-lap headliner.

Swanson’s dice roll ultimately saw Liguori’s number come up, putting Liguori in front at the initial green.

Next for the Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series is Owosso on Saturday, June 21, during United Way Super Hero Night. It’s the first of three scheduled features at the track this year for the series.

The April 26 event was made possible by Fred Fayard who helped organize the event and found the necessary funding to bring winged sprint cars back to area. Fayard is instrumental in helping bring back sprint cars to MIS for a second time in 2025.

 
"Sprint cars have always been big since the day Mobile opened up" explained Shoemaker. "We love them, the fans came, and the drivers put on a good show. So, I said let's do it again. I was happy with the crowd, but it can only get bigger from there. The ones that watched it on Racing America now know this is the place to be.

 
"Fred Fayard is one hundred percent responsible for helping get the sprint cars back to Mobile. Fred called me one day and said I wanna run another sprint car race at Mobile. We've been doing it our whole lives. I told him 'I don't know Fred, that's a big purse'. And he said 'We'll help cover it. Just let me run them' and I said all right.'

 
If their schedule doesn't conflict, I will bring sprint cars back one more time before the season is over. Next year we'll have a series of races with a points fund. Next year they will race four times minimum, maybe more" concluded Showmaker.

 
The August 2 race will pay $2000 to win and $500 to start. Bonus money could be added and and will be announced as it is secured.
