Auburn, MI - Dustin Daggett (Portland, MI), the reigning GLSS Champion came into the night 168 points behind the current leader, Phil Gressman (Helena, OH). Daggett had his work cut out to knock off Gressman...in fact he would need to be perfect, and hope that Gressman stubbles a little. Daggett was 2nd quick, took 2nd in his heat and won the feature! A solid performance, but not enough to keep Gressman from being crowned the new 2019 GLSS Champion!
Kyle Poortenga (Woodland, MI) pulled in the win in the Kistler Engines Heat 1. In the Campbell Perfomance Heat 2, Andrew Scheid takes the checkered flag. Brandon Moore (Clyde, OH) wins the needmethanol.com Heat 3 and Dan McCarron (Britton, MI) wins the Perfit/Engine Pro Heat 4.
Gressman wins the Championship, Daggett wins the feature and visiting John Ivy (Fremont, OH) wins the Engler Hard Charger Award moving up 8 spots to finish 2nd.
