  GLSS Kicks off Sprint Car Week in Michigan Friday at I-96 Speedway

  Lake Odessa, MI - The Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP (GLSS) are back in action this Friday night at I-96 Speedway. The first scheduled trip to West Michigan was washed away in April, leaving this post-Memorial Day show as the appetizer for a busy week of Sprint Car racing in Michigan. Coming into Friday night's show, just three races have been completed toward the run for a GLSS championship in 2026. Seven scheduled shows have been lost to Mother Nature or adverse track conditions as a result of Mother Nature. Because of this, Zane DeVault remains the current Championship Points leader heading into the weekend. DeVault is two-for-three so far this season with GLSS, grabbing wins in the season opener at Crystal Motor Speedway on April 25th and again at Shadyhill Speedway on May 16th. DeVault holds a 74-point lead over four-time and defending GLSS Champion, Max Stambaugh on the Tour, and a 12-point lead over 2018 Tour Champion, Dustin Daggett in the North Division standings. I-96 Speedway has always been a roll of the dice on who will end up in GLSS Victory Lane. Since the first race on July 31, 2016, a total of 18 different drivers have won at I-96. Since winning the debut in 2016, inaugural GLSS Champion Chase Ridenour has been held out of the limelight in Lake Odessa. Jared Horstman (11), Dustin Daggett (8), Phil Gressman (4), and Max Stambaugh (4) sit atop the wins column ranks. Horstman was on another level at I-96 in 2025, winning three of five scheduled shows, finishing second and fifth in the shows he didn't win. GLSS and I-96 Speedway kick off a stretch of racing in Michigan that features five different sanctioning bodies at six different tracks in seven days. Following GLSS at I-96, High Limit Racing Sprint Cars unload at Butler Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 30th, the same day that the Great Lakes Lightning Sprints head back to Silver Bullet Speedway. Then, the Race for the Million 410 Winged Sprint Cars head to Owosso Speedway on Wednesday, June 3rd; finally, the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars return to Hartford Speedway on Friday, June 5th, with the Great Lakes Lightning Sprints making a return trip to Mt Pleasant Speedway that same day. Advanced tickets to the Great Lakes Super Sprints at I-96 Speedway are available at I96Speedway.com. Fans who can't make the trip can catch the action LIVE on www.GreatLakesSprints.TV.

  Dangerous Track Conditions Force Cancellation of GLSS Event at Hartford Speedway

  Hartford, MI - Officials with Hartford Speedway and the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP have made the difficult decision to cancel the event scheduled for Friday, May 8th. A dangerous racing surface and consideration for the race teams are the causes for the cancellation. Officials at Hartford Speedway have made several improvements to the facility this winter and spring, including adding new clay around the race track. However, due to the excessively wet and cold conditions in southern Michigan this spring, the track is too soft to prepare and will undoubtedly cause mechanical failures and accidents if raced on. Officials with the GLSS are thankful to the staff and promoters of Hartford Speedway for making this decision, saving teams from the potential strain of a rough race track. The next event for Hartford Speedway is scheduled for Friday, May 15th, featuring the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints Presented by CAT Rental Stores. For the Great Lakes Super Sprints, the next event is Friday, May 15th for the $5,000 to win Run for the Rabbit from Limaland Motorsports Park. A debut appearance at Shadyhill Speedway follows on Saturday, May 16th. For more information on the Great Lakes Super Sprints, log onto GreatLakesSuperSprints.com.

  Great Lakes Super Sprints Open Hartford Speedway Friday Night

  Hartford, MI - The Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP will help kick the gates open at Michigan's Hartford Speedway this Friday night. One of the most technically challenging tracks on the circuit, Hartford Speedway offers teams an early-season opportunity to set themselves apart from the rest of the pack. Likewise, the tough-to-navigate third turn could also be an early-season troublemaker. Hartford Speedway has long been a staple on the GLSS schedule, going back to the inaugural season in 2016. Dustin Daggett grabbed the win and the fast qualifier honors that season during the lone race held in July. Friday will mark the 19th different race held at Hartford. In that time, 10 different drivers have gone to victory lane. The West Michigan facility has a habit of producing first-time winners with GLSS. Last season, Chase Dunham earned his first career win with the Tour after setting fast time earlier in the night. Dunham was a former track record holder at Hartford Speedway, setting the mark in 2020 before Tylar Rankin blistered a new record in 2022 with a 14.647, which remains the current record. Keith Sheffer, Jr and Jay Steinebach also reside on the list of drivers who earned their first career GLSS wins at Hartford Speedway. For Dunham, Sheffer, and Steineback, the wins serve as their only breakthroughs with the Series to date. Former GLSS Champion, Ryan Ruhl, also notched his first GLSS win at Hartford Speedway in June of 2019. Since then, Ruhl has gone on to collect 10 career GLSS wins, three of which have come from Hartford. The GLSS roll into Hartford having completed just one points-paying race this season, going back to Crystal Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 25th. Zane DeVault grabbed the win after a pair of engine failures for Jared Horstman and Clinton Boyles. DeVault currently sits atop the GLSS points championship hunt, but is expected to miss Hartford on Friday. Dustin Daggett and Max Stambaugh are separated by just 12 points heading into the weekend, with Van Gurley, Jr and Corbin Gurley directly behind them. The Great Lakes Super Sprints open the season at Hartford Speedway on Friday, May 8th alongside Super Troopers and Cyber Stocks. Pit gates open at 4:00 PM with Grandstands opening at 5:00 PM. Fans who can't make the trip can find the event live on GreatLakesSprints.tv.
