On a beautiful evening at Cherry Raceway Dustin Daggett took the checkered flag for the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP main event at the exciting ¼ mile oval.
Daggett of Portland, MI started in third position for the twenty five lap main event. There were only two cautions that slowed the event. A battle developed early with Jared Horstman and eventual winner Daggett.
The feature winner in his Maxim chassis was able to capture the $1,200 first prize in exciting fashion after that challenge. Several battles developed throughout the field with Gregg Dalman, Ryan Grubaugh, and Shawn Dancer all swapping positions in the later stages of the feature.
