By T.J. Buffenbarger,

MERRITT, Mich. (August 16, 2008) - Dustin Daggett completed the season sweep of both Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt presented by Victor Reinz feature events at Merritt Speedway by winning Saturday?s 25-lap feature event.

Daggett started on the front row and drove away to his sixth ASCS SOD victory of the 2008 season in the Mott Motorsports car.

Daggett and Gregg Dalman started on the front row. Dalman led the first five circuits before Daggett slid underneath him in turn one to take the lead.

On lap seven Ralph Brakenberry flipped hard in turn two. Jim Lingar and Gavin Hunyady were also collected in the incident. All three drivers walked from their cars under their own power, but had to retire from the event.

Daggett led at the restart, but Ryan Grubaugh made a charge through the field. Grubaugh started sixth and moving up to third on lap 15. Eventually Grubaugh utilized a pair of cautions for spins by Ralph Brakenberry to move up to second, but could not catch Daggett. Dalman, Tim Norman, and Dain Naida rounded out the top five.

Daggett Digs ASCS SOD From 11th at Merritt

By T.J. Buffenbarger,

MERRITT, Mich. (July 26, 2008) - Dustin Daggett from Portland Michigan won Saturday night's Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt presented by Victor Reinz feature event at the Merritt Speedway. Daggett started in 11th and dodged several accidents on his way to victory in the Mott Motorsports car.

"The car was perfect for the feature," said Daggett in victory lane. "It was difficult to pass during the heat races, but my Dad, Tom (Daggett), Phil (Mott) and the rest of the crew made some adjustments and we were great for the feature."

Louie Carufel and Tim Champlin started on the front row for the 25-lap feature event. Carufel jumped into the lead with Champlin falling in behind him with Dain Naida in third. Naida and Champlin battled for several laps for second when they nearly made contact in turns three and four. Naida checked up and Gary Fast ended up spinning. Tim Norman had nowhere to go, hit Fast, and flipped in turn four. ASCS SOD point leader Brett Mann was also collected in the incident. Only Mann was able to restart.

Carufel led during the restart while deeper in the pack Daggett wasted no time using the high side to move through the pack. By lap eight he moved past Naida for second and set sail after Carufel. Daggett pulled along Carufel one lap later to challenge for the lead when the caution appeared for Aaron Shaffer's spin in turn four.

After the restart Daggett moved around the top side of Carufel in turns one and two and took the lead. Daggett continued to open up his advantage when the caution reappeared when Jake Stebner spun coming off turn two. Mann had nowhere to go and slammed into Stebner. John Gall and Joe Bares were also collected in the incident. Mann and Stebner retired from the event while Gall and Bares were able to restart.

The final ten laps Daggett opened up a large lead and drove off to the feature win. Carufel held on for second with Champlin, Naida, and Ryan Grubagh finishing fifth after starting 17th and going to the tail for a tire change early in the feature.

Mann's and Norman's crashes sent shockwaves throughout the Sprints on Dirt point standings. Mann lost the lead to Gregg Dalman in the MAHLE/Clevite Short Track Challenge and his advantage over Ben Rutan in the season long point standings shrunk dramatically. Norman also dropped back several spots in the short track challenge.

Dustin Daggett Dominates Opening Night of ASCS Northern Summer Nationals at Ohsweken

By Rich Vleck,

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (July 4, 2008)- Dustin Daggett was one of the strongest cars all night long at Ohsweken, but he needed a big chunk of luck early in the feature to open up the door to his fifth career win at his favorite racetrack.

Daggett was the beneficiary of a lap seven crash, which took out the top three runners and opened up the track to one of Ohsweken's Most Dominant Cars. The Portland, MI driver, who had captured the last four ASCS Sprints on Dirt Features at Ohsweken, pulled away over the final 18 laps through expert maneuvers for the win.

"I just love this race track," said the driver of the Mott Motorsports No. 2M in Victory Lane. "Those three guys getting caught up in that wreck made it a lot easier for us."

Daggett started in sixth by virtue of the Color Loco Redraw, and was up to fourth on lap seven when leader Fred Cade collided with the lapped car of Ben Rutan, throwing his No. 12c sideways and blocking the track for Gary Fast and Blake Breen, who were second and third at the time. It would send them all to the back and on the restart Daggett was the leader.

One lap later the yellow flag would again fly for a major wreck in turn three. From that point on the race would run caution free, and would see ?Double D? work the traffic to perfection for the win.

With the win, Daggett locked himself into the Saturday Night 30-lap A-Main, along with the rest of the top-four.

Mike Stelter would run second behind Daggett for the final 18 laps, closing the gap to within three car lengths half way through the event. Daggett would make a three-wide pass under lapped cars on lap 15 though and would check out from that point.

Stelter's second place run locked him in, along with Scott Kreutter who pulled even with Stelter on two occasions and would hang on for third.

Bobby Breen, who won the second B-Main, rocketed up from his 20th place starting position to finish in fourth, also assuring him a spot in the first four rows of Saturday's A-main.

Ryan Grubaugh was stealth-like moving through the pack, running up from 18th to round out the top-five.

Keith Dempster won the Four Laps of Fame Dash and would end up sixth, ahead of Dave Dykstra, who scored a career-best in seventh. Jared Zimbardi came from the B-Mains to finish in 8th.

Kyle Patrick was strong early on but had nose wing problems and would fade to ninth, holding off Brett Mann, who won the first B-Main.

A total of 45 cars checked into the pits for the first of two nights of this great event. An even mix of Patriots, SOD and locals pleased a healthy crowd on a picture-perfect night for racing.

Among some of the favorites to watch the feature from the pits were ASCS Patriot Point Leader Bryan Howland, defending ASCS SOD Champion Tim Norman, ASCS Patriot frontrunner Don Adamczyk and defending Humberstone Speedway Champion Rob Pietz.

Long Wins ASCS Sprints on Dirt North vs. South Shootout at Eldora!

By T.J. Buffenbarger,

ROSSBURG, Ohio (June 14, 2008) - Darren Long kicked off the North/South Shootout between the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt presented by Victor Reinz and the National Racing Alliance with a victory at the legendary Eldora Speedway. Long passed early leader Ben Rutan and held on through several restarts for his fifth feature win during his 2008 campaign.

Former ASCS Sprints on Dirt champion Sean Robinson and Ben Rutan started on the front row for the 20-lap feature event. Rutan took the lead while Long immediately started challenging for the lead. Rutan and Long traded slide jobs before Long took the top position.

Two time ASCS Sprints on Dirt champion Dustin Daggett moved swiftly through the pack from his 9th starting spot taking over fourth position on lap 9. With the leaders out front Daggett caught a break when Dain Naida and Joe Bares spun between turns one and two. Brett Mann had to take evasive action and took a light rollover to bring out the red flag. Mann was uninjured, but was unable to restart while Naida and Bares joined the tail of the field.

Long had young Jared Horstman on his back bumper for the restart, but was able to open up a three car length advantage. Daggett started to challenge Rutan for the third spot when the caution came out for 2007 ASCS Sprints on Dirt rookie of the year Ryan Ruhl riding the wall between turns three and four. Ruhl had to retire from the event.

After the restart Long pulled away while Rutan and Daggett exchanged slide jobs. The battling allowed fifth place Butch Schroeder to move up and pass both Rutan and Daggett to move up to third positions. With laps winding down though it was all Long out front over Horstman, Schroeder, Daggett, and (1H).

Norman Nabs Win in 100th ASCS Sprints on Dirt Feature at Crystal!

By T.J. Buffenbarger,

CRYSTAL, Mich. (May 31, 2008) - The Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt presented by Victor Reinz celebrated Crystal Motor Speedway's 100th point paying program for the series with a thrilling feature event with three time and defending series champion Tim Norman picking up the victory.

Norman, driving the Joe Gaerte owned GLR Investments, Gaerte Engines sponsored Maxim chassis, started seventh and ran down John Gall and drove masterfully through lapped traffic to separate himself from the rest of the field and score the victory.

"Its sweet to win the 100th feature at Crystal," Norman said in victory lane about the feature win at a facility he often refers to as his favorite on the tour. "This was the first night on a new engine tonight and everything worked out great."

Gall and Ryan Ruhl started on the front row for the 25-lap feature event. Gall drove into the lead while Ruhl ended up driving off the top of the race track on the first lap. Ruhl came back onto the track without causing a caution flag.

Gall continued to lead while Norman worked his way through the field. Eventually Gall, second place Ben Rutan, and Norman broke away from the pack and approached lapped traffic. Norman patently waited for Gall to open up room on the bottom lane in turns one and two and took the lead with just a handful of laps to go. Norman then drove away from the pack in heavy lapped traffic.

While Gall dropped back, J.R. Stewart made charge over the last two laps to take the runner up position. Mann, Gall, and Rutan rounded out the top five. Dustin Daggett earned JE/SRP Pistons hard charger honors after starting 15th and finishing sixth.

Next week the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt presented by Victor Reinz tackles a two day weekend with Friday night?s event taking place at the Cherry Speedway in Fife Lake, Michigan. Saturday the tour heads down M66 to the I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Michigan for the first leg of the Engler Machine and Tool Half Mile Master mini-series.
