MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (July 12) — Eric Spangler of Lake City, Mich., fought off challenges, then maneuvered through lapped traffic to pull away Friday at Mount Pleasant Speeway for his first Allstar Performance Michigan Dirt Cup victory of the season and second of his career. He earned $1,500. | Slideshow

Rich Neiser of Fruitport, Mich., and Brian Ruhlman of Clarklake, Mich., both took cracks at Spangler with Neiser settling for second and series points leader J.R. Hotovy of Covert, Mich., rallying to finish third. Ruhlman was fourth and Dona Marcoullier of Houghton Lake, Mich., rounded out the top five.
