Auburn, MI - The Great Lakes Lightning Sprints presented by United Engine and Machine (GLLS) had their first race of the season at Tri-City Speedway, leaving the audience with a night to remember! There were several cautions but thankfully, our drivers are okay. 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 6, not the luckiest position. However, it was a showcase of his skill as he maintained an impressive pace throughout the Feature Race. He took the lead over from #21 Jacob Sabaj (Cournna, MI) ultimately securing his third Feature Race win of the season!

During the heats, Sabaj claimed victory in the Chaney Creek Construction Heat Race 1. Matt Cogley (Findlay, OH) dominated the Double W Oilfield Services Heat Race 2, and Arlie Cooper Jr. (Bear Lake, MI) emerged victorious in Heat Race 3 presented by Beacon and Bridge Markets!

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 Mt. Pleasant Speedway on August 11th. Be sure not to miss out on the high-speed excitement and adrenaline-fueled thrills!
