MERRILL, Mich. — Officials with the Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by Engine Pro & ARP have announced more details for the 2025 Michigan CAT and Tour division schedules.
Thunderbird Raceway in Muskegon, Mich., will make a return to the GLSS calendar for the first time since 2021 on Saturday, June 21 — marking the only stop in northern West Michigan for the 2025 season.
Thunderbird Raceway was part of the inaugural season of racing for GLSS in 2016. Gregg Dalman took the win in June of that year holding off Mike Dunlap and eventual champion, Chase Ridenour.
In August of that same season, Chase Ridenour capped off a four-race winning streak by holding off Dustin Daggett and Max Stambaugh. The win also put Ridenour on pace to win three in a row at Thunderbird Raceway when he swept the two events in 2017.
“We’re excited to return to Thunderbird Raceway,” commented GLSS General Manager Zach Hiser. “Thunderbird is not only an extremely competitive race track, but it’s also a destination race track just outside of beautiful Muskegon, Mich. Many of our fans and officials take in the sights of Lake Michigan before heading to the track.”
Opening as Birchwood Speedway in 1958, the semi-banked third-mile track is typically home to Super and Pro Late Models, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, Sport Compacts, and Mini Wedges.
“The Thunderbird Raceway team and I are looking forward to the Great Lakes Super Sprints event,” said Thunderbird Raceway owner Heidi Morell. “They are a series that our fans have been asking about and this season we are able to grant their requests.”
