This was my first race at Springfield and I felt like I was home! I finished in the top 5 in my class and I just missed tying the track record by a few 10ths of a second. I had a great weekend and it was a blast.  Here is a copy of an article written on the race:


Speaking of domination, Adam Crepin’s name has to come to mind in the Adkins Speed Center Yamaha Supercan Lite group. Crepin paced qualifying over Luke Blazek. For the start of the prefinal, Crepin decided he would like to keep his preferred starting spot and had distanced himself by about one second over the big battle for second claimed by Adam Sullivan. Sullivan and Brett Johnson were the only two brave enough to run both the lite and heavy Supercan classes. Not wanting to mess with success, Crepin took off in the final and again pulled out to about a one second lead as his Haase/Laukaitis came in right away. Crepin would maintain the advantage throughout the final and claim his first of two wins on the weekend. The battle for second was anything but this easy, as Blazek, Sullivan, Tony Velez, Brett Cogo, Matt Riggs and Greg Dingess were fighting for this position. At one point these six were running nose to tail with Blazek punching the hole in the draft for the others. Blazek held this spot for the first half of the race, but Dingess was coming through the pack, setting fast lap of the race in the process. By the time Dingess was able to get to second, he was about three seconds back, but he ran out of laps to chip away at Crepin’s insurmountable lead. Dingess prevailed in the battle for second over Blazek, Sullivan, Velez, Cogo and Riggs.
