LIMA, Ohio — For the second straight week, three-time and defending Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP champion Max Stambaugh, took a trip to GLSS Victory Lane.
The variable this week, the win was his first GLSS-sanctioned win at his home track to open the Ohio CAT Division season.
Stambaugh and Dustin Daggett led the field to the green flag. Stambaugh’s luck continued on the redraw, pulling the No. 1 pill for the third week in a row.
On the opening lap, the two defending champions went at it wheel-to-wheel before Stambaugh was able to get the edge. Meanwhile, Mike Keegan began to fall through the top 10 while Dalman settled into the third spot. Phil Gressman, Zeth Sabo, and Keegan all battled for the fourth through sixth spots throughout the better part of the race.
The only caution of the night came just after halfway when Luke Griffith spun in turns three and four. Griffith was able to continue. On the restart, Keegan charged his way back onto the podium while Stambaugh raced away from Daggett once again.
For the second week in a row, Stambaugh led flag-to-flag to earn his second win of the 2025 season.
“It’s been a while, Limaland,” Stambaugh said. “It’s the best I’ve felt here in a long time. Just winning in front of where I grew up, my dad’s here, my mom – it just means a lot,” an emotional Stambaugh finished.
Brennan Sherman won the DIRTcar UMP Modified feature and Todd Sherman picked up the Lock Sixteen Thunderstock win.
