Great Lakes Nationals

 Crystal, MI - Saturday night at Crystal Motor Speedway was the 2011 season finale with the running of the 19th annual Great Lakes Nationals presented by Engine Pro and sponsored by Victor Reinz Gaskets. The event saw 176 drivers and near standing room only crowd brave the chilly evening air to watch the event that would crown the 2011 Engine Pro IMCA Modified champion and see the winner of the event walk away with a cool $3000 winners check.

In IMCA Modified action and the premier race of the night, Myron DeYoung held off a charging Joey Fowler and Chad Maurer take home the giant trophy and the big money. They were followed by Jimmy Hale, Jr., Brody Bowser, Mike Shanteau, Dan Minikey Jr., Robert Hutson, Rusty Zeigler, and Melvin Allen. Bowser and Hale won the B Main features while Tim Lytle, Maurer, DeYoung, and Jerry Hunt grabbed heat wins. The season championship was taken home by AJ Ward for the second consecutive year.

September 3, 2011 Highlights

Downtown Davey Brown would start near the front and never look back. Tight track conditions made for some very tight racing but it was great racing action. After having problems in his heat race, and racing his way through the B main Portland, MI native Dustin Daggett started 17th on the field and right from the drop of the green flag stared working his way through the field eventually finishing 5th. But it was all Davey Brown as he was able to navigate lap traffic and pick up the checkered flag. Heat races went to Steve Irwin, Andy Tunessen, Davey Brown, and Jared Horstman. Daggett was victorious in the B-main.

Champions Are Crowned and a Championship Personality Is Remembered

 Crystal, MI - After a few weeks off Crystal Motor Speedway was back in action on Saturday for its season championship as well as the Smoke Shop Dave Memorial race. 118 cars checked into the pits to do battle on the 3/8ths mile oval and not one of them disappointed. A little extra money was on the line for the Smokers Club street stocks as a number of people from the racing community came together to sponsor laps for the street stocks, a class near and dear to the heart of both Dave and Kim.
