RUHLMAN WINS AGAIN, THIS TIME AT I-96 SPEEDWAY

Brian Ruhlman, a local from Clark Lake, MI, triumphed with back-to-back Feature Race wins at I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa tonight. The thrilling high-speed event attracted a great crowd, and we want to extend a big thank you to all the fans, staff, and drivers for their incredible support.

Steve Irwin (Fenton,MI) started in pole position but Ruhlman swiftly took over and maintained the lead throughout the entire feature race. Kent Gardner (Davison,MI) impressed everyone by making an impressive climb from 16th to 9th place, earning him the hard charger award from Hoosier Racing Tire. Irwin clocked the fastest time at 15.837 seconds, closely followed by Parker Fredrickson (Kokomo,IN) at 16.007 seconds, and Ruhlman secured the third spot with a time of 16.015 seconds.

The Beacon and Bridge Market Heat Race 1 was won by Irwin, Engler Machine and Tool Heat Race 2 by Fredrickson, and Specialty Fuels and Logistics Heat Race 3 by Ruhlman.

Looking ahead, GLTS will continue the action at Limaland Motorsports Park on July 28th and Butler Motor Speedway on July 29th. Mark your calendars for more exciting racing!
