LAKE ODESSA, Mich. — Max Stambaugh won for the second time in the last three races, topping Friday’s second annual Mark Strpko Memorial at I-96 Speedway.
Devon Dobie and Kelsey Ivy led the field around for the green flag in the Engine Pro/PERFit A-Main. As Dobie and Ivy took the green, the field roared to life and clicked off the first 10 laps in just two and a half minutes when a caution flew for Creed Kemenah.
With a rash of cautions following the first one, Dobie was running out of tricks to fight off the cars chasing him.on every restart. With 11 laps to go, Stambaugh got around Dobie and it was Stambaugh/Dobie till the 24th lap when J.J. Hickle and Lamberson got around Dobie at the finish.
Stambaugh held off Hickle at the line for the win and Lamberson finished third.
