It takes time to put together a weekly magazine - regardless of the fact it is printed on paper or posted electronically. Saturday night track results are usually fully updated by Monday afternoon. Special features, such as weekend events on Sunday or a Monday holiday will be available on the following Wednesday.

Weekly News & Action Photos

  May 14 - Next week at Crystal Motor Speedway is a full slate of all six divisions, sponsored by Mittler Supply of Grand Rapids. A reverse race is also in the schedule which promises to be an interesting event. Gates open at 4:30 and racing begins at 7:30PM. Adult admission to the grandstand is $10 and kids 4-11 are $4. Pit passes are $25. If you can’t make the races, don’t forget you can listen to them on Internet radio over at StreamNetRADIO.com starting about 7PM. Further information can be obtained by calling the office at (989) 235-5200.

We are gaining experience with the StreamNet webcast of the races and can now offer our advertisers 30, 60, and 90 second spots at a very reasonable price. There is a small set up fee, and the per price cost is as little as $5 each week. Each spot includes a graphic link here on the CMS site and on the StreamNet player window.

Photo Trophies Available Again. Got a favorite car and driver?







Why not purchase a 'Photo Trophy' and get it personalized with a signature? We started this service from the photo booth last year and everybody really likes them. We have designs for about 20 of the drivers so far, and will be adding another six or so each week for the next several weeks. Some of the designs feature manufacturer or model badging, others are storms, flags, and flags. If you want a custom design, drop your written request at the photo booth and we can have it next week. We currently have designs in stock for these drivers:

  • Brennan Bowen

Site Improvements In Progress

After a half season or so of madness, it becomes obvious that an attempt to hack our server last year corrupted the CMS site much more than we had thought. On top of that, it's just time to do some housecleaning. So... expect the site may be down for a few hours this week as we take everything down and replace it as it should be seen. Thanks for understanding.

See you at the track next week.

May 12th Results

Chilly was the word for the weather but HOT was the only way to describe the racing Saturday night at Crystal Motor Speedway. H & H Excavating of Crystal was the evening’s sponsor.

Fowler First - Claimed!


FEATURE WINNER - Joe Fowler

In a division that is full of real potential winners, it is near unto impossible to pick who might bring home the feature in the Engine Pro IMCA Modifieds. Joe Fowler worked his way forward from mid pack to take the lead late and the held off a charging Gary VanderMark to bag his second feature win of the young season. Randy Ruesink chalked up third, followed by Rob Brillhart, Clifford Denman, Chad Maurer, Buzz Lawrence, Chad Burke, Nate Jones, and Chad Wernette.

Denman and Jerry Pace added B Main wins to their stats while heats fell to Myron DeYoung, Paul Grosnickle, Fowler, and Rusty Zeigler.

*Tie for position


FEATURE WINNER - Rick Stout

As exciting as the IMCA race was, it didn’t hold a candle to the Late Model race. Brock Cogswell grabbed the early lead and looked to be the man to beat. His line was clean, his setup near perfect, and he was moving flawlessly around the track. Once again, the threat came from mid pack, this time in the form of Rick Stout. Stout was moving forward fast, picking off cars and slowly gaining on Cogswell when he was tangled in the top of the first turn. It took a wrecker to separate the two cars and later inspection revealed his left side rear shock was bent nearly 90 degrees… but once he took off, no one ever would have thought the damage was that severe.

On the restart, Stout quickly closed the gap between himself and Cogswell and within a couple laps, he slid around him and was gone. Cogswell had to settle for second after a fine run with Carl Ries, Scott Haney, Scott Baker, Tom Dusen, Rusty Seaver, Bill Trueblood, Jr., Tom Sprague, Jr., and Jay Van Dyke following. The win was his third in four features so far in 2007.

Ryan VanderVeen picked up the B Main win with Cogswell, Trueblood, and Brian Nickerson posing for heat victories.

FEATURE WINNER - Derrick Dennis

The Street Stock race was the final event of the night and it was every bit as exciting as the rest as Derrick Dennis took the early lead and then had to fight both a broken power steering belt and a hard charging Mike Vandermark, Jr. to bring home his first 2007 win. Gary Buskirk brought home a third, followed by Bryan Craigmyle, Larry Kosloski, Tony Vinton, Al Kiester, Scott Crook, Thomas Stevens, and Mickey Carman, Jr.
