CRYSTAL, Mich. (July 16, 2011) – On a very hot evening at Crystal Motor Speedway Brett Mann took the eventual victory for the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP main event at the 3/8 mile oval.
A nice field of 18 winged sprint cars made the second of three appearances for the 2011 season at the fast Michigan oval.
Mann from Goshen, IN started outside row four and finished behind driver Stuart Brubaker at the finish of the A-main, a post race inspection on the Ohio driver’s engine revealed no ASCS gasket, a violation of rules procedure. This awarded the victory to Mann. There were only one caution flag during the event at lap 15 and the remainder of the feature was a battle between several of the eventual top ten finishers.
Mann stated, “It’s great winning here at Crystal and putting on a show for these great fans.” The winner of the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP feature thanked his fine sponsors including Biobased US, car owners Don and SueEllen Wilshe, Hoosier Tire and Lane Automotive.
The top ten finishers of the exciting feature race for the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP were Mann, Gary Fast, Ken Mackey, Andy Teunessen, Ryan Ruhl, Davey Brown, Ryan Grubaugh, Trey Smith, Andy Chehowski and Robert Huisken.
