GLSS-Great Lakes Super Sprints


KEEGAN HOLDS OFF MACEDO & GRESSMAN AT THE LINE

Waynesfield, OH - Fremont Ohio native, Mike Keegan, bags his second feature win of the season tonight at Waynesfield Raceway Park! The NRA Sprint Invaders, the Buckeye Division of the Great Lakes Super Sprints presented by Engine Pro & ARP rolled into WRP to take part in the annual All Sprints Jack Hewitt Classic.

With a late afternoon rain shower, officials at WRP delayed the start of the evening for about an hour. One thing everyone on hand knew was that the rain would make a locked down, fast track...and it was. Taking the track last for qualifying the NRA/GLSS drivers still had a super fast track with Kyle Sauder (Archbold, OH) being the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier with a blistering 11.128 second lap at an average speed of 107.7 mph! Brad Lamberson (Parma, MI) and Max Stambaugh (Elida, OH) rounded out the top 3 quick times with 11.147 and 11.197 second laps respectively.

Rolling out for the Engine Pro Feature, Keegan jumped out for the lead early with past champion Phil Gressman (Fremont, OH) and Cole Macedo (Lemoore, CA) staying on his tail as they quickly caught up to lap traffic. Keegan made it around the first car and as Gressman was coming into turn 4, the lapped car started to spin and then dug in and flopped on it's side. The car and driver were fine and was able to fire and tag the back of the field. During the red, Macedo learned of a broke radius rod and was taken to the work area.

Getting the car fixed in the two minute allotted time, Macedo returned to the track and tagged the tail. As the green flag dropped, it was all Keegan and Gressman at the front with 18 laps to go. With three laps to go, Macedo had clawed his way back up to 3rd. As Keegan, Macedo and Gressman took the white flag, Macedo gets around Gressman for 2nd. But as the trio enters turn 3, Gressman goes high and Macedo goes low, both trying to split Keegan. Coming out of turn 4, all 3 cars are side by side, With Gressman getting squeezed up into the turn 4 wall and Keegan trying to keep Macedo behind him, Keegan does just that, taking the checkered for his second feature win of the year.

Macedo finishes 2nd by .087 seconds and Gressman finishes third. Kobe Allison (Lima, OH) was tonights Hooiser Racing Tires Hard Charger moving up 7 spots and finishing 12th.

Great Lakes Super Sprints presented by Engine Pro and ARP will be back in action Friday, July 7th at Hartford Speedway and Merritt Speedway on July 8th! The next Ohio show will be on Friday, July 14th at Limaland Motorsports Park.
