WARD STRIKES AGAIN

Crystal, MI (Saturday, July 29, 2023) - The Great Lakes Lightning Sprints presented by United Engine and Machine (GLLS) had their much awaited race after two weeks off at Crystal Motor Speedway, leaving the audience with a night to remember! The stands were packed with an incredible turnout, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the drivers, fans, sponsors, and dedicated staff members whose support and enthusiasm made this event an overwhelming success.

In the redraw, Justin Ward (Benzonia, MI) found himself in slot number 5, not the luckiest position. However, it was a showcase of his skill as he maintained an impressive pace throughout the Feature Race, ultimately securing his second Feature Race win of the season!

During the heats, Noah Wilfong (Wayland, MI) claimed victory in the Beacon and Bridge Market Heat Race 1. Arlie Cooper Jr. (Bear Lake, MI) dominated the Chaney Creek Construction Heat Race 2, and Jacob Sabaj (Cournna, MI) emerged victorious in Heat Race 3 presented by Double W Oilfield Services.

The action-packed racing continues with the Great Lakes Lightning Sprints (GLLS) gearing up for their next races! Mark your calendars for the thrilling races at Tri-City Speedway on August 4th, followed by an epic showdown at Mt. Pleasant Speedway on August 11th. Be sure not to miss out on the high-speed excitement and adrenaline-fueled thrills!
