TRIPLE ON DECK FOR SOD THIS WEEKEND

By Ken Pelkie, Sprints On Dirt, Holt, MI

After nearly two weeks off, the Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt series presented by Total Seal swings back into action with three events this weekend.

First up will be the return to the Shiawassee County Fair on Thursday night, August 11th to do battle on the quarter mile. Last season, the Ohio Outlaw J.R. Stewart captured the inaugural event at this unique facility that only hosts one race per year. Gates are to open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30. Racing is scheduled to begin at 7:00 sharp with the show to be completed by dusk.

Then the series moves on to Mt. Pleasant for round two on the weekend. Last year, defending SOD Champion, Dustin Daggett took the victory in the first appearance at the quarter mile since 1993.

Round three at Merritt Speedway will mark the final stop on the weekend. When SOD last visited Merritt on July 23, Len Robison collected his first career SOD feature over Rookie, Louie Carufel.

Current Point Leader, Tim Norman holds a slim 28 point lead over Ben Rutan while Gregg Dalman, Kyle Patrick and Louie Carufel are all within 87 points of the leader.
