LIMA, Ohio (May 20, 2022) — Limaland Motorsports Park swung open the gates on a hot Friday night as Mercy Health presented the 23rd Annual “Run for the Rabbit”, honoring the memory of the late Travis “The Rabbit” Miller. Miller was a regular at Limaland behind the wheel of his brightly colored No. 17m sprint car until tragically losing his life in a motorcycle accident in 2000. In fitting fashion, another brightly colored No 17, driven by Cloverdale Ohio’s Jared Horstman led wire to wire Friday night winning the 25 lap NRA Sprint Invader feature.
Horstman wasted no time grabbing the early lead from his pole starting position and appeared to be off to a easy win, until caution waved on lap eight for Devon Dobie doing a 360 and coming to a stop at the exit of turn four. The caution closed the field back up, and saw a hard charging Dylan Westbrook making his way to 2nd on the restart. The leaders found themselves in lapped traffic on lap 15, and Horstman was able to maneuver through the traffic to the checkered flag, winning over Westbrook, Randy Hannagan, Ricky Peterson, and Brad Lamberson.
