BOSS to Meet GLTS in I-96 Speedway "Sprint Wars"

The MPD Racing - Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series will return to action this Friday and Saturday, May 7-8 near Lake Odessa, Michigan at the I-96 Speedway in a show catered to sprint car fans. "Sprint Wars" will feature two divisions of sprint car racing featuring FOUR different sanctioning bodies! The Ohio based BOSS tour will meet the Michigan based GLTS in the traditional sprint car $2,000 main event battle each night. In addition, the Michigan based GLSS will battles the national ASCS tour in the winged 360 sprint car division.

The BOSS tour kicked the season off on March 27th at Waynesfield Raceway Park when Drew Rader tracked down Dustin Ingle and passed for the win over a stellar 32 car field. Round 2 of the 2021 season was cancelled, and now, rounds 3 and 4 are set to take place north of the border. Following Rader and Ingle at Waynesfield were Rob Caho, Luke Hall, Landon Simon, Cody White, Matt Westfall, Paul Dues, Kyle Simon and Steve Irwin rounding out the top 10. Most of these drivers are expected at I-96 along with a host of other BOSS regulars and the GLTS stars who will be ready to defend their turf!

First trip up to I 96. Love the BOSS vs GLTS matchup. I have never seen ASCS National 360's live (only FLO & Mav). Whatever you choose for your racing fix this weekend, do it in person and bring a friend or two along!
