The 18th Annual U.S. Sand Nationals at West Michigan Sand Dragway featuring Pro Truck Nationals Race #3 concluded with some amazing racing action on Sunday. Most of eliminations were pushed back to Sunday due to inclement weather. Under sunny skies Sunday afternoon, Fred Hugo pushed his Jeep to the Pro Truck class victory over Jim Bailey in his rear-engine Chevy truck. Another big winner on the day was Jay Poortenga, who defeated Mike Bolyard in the Quick 8 Final Round. Read on for full results. *Run Sheets for Pro Truck, 3.5 Index, & Sport Truck now posted.*

Saturday
After a wet start to the day with steady rain, the track & racers dried out to get the U.S. Sand Nationals featuring PTN Race #3 at WMSD under way. By the 11PM curfew, all except the final couple of pairs in round one of Sportsman 1 had been completed. Brian Ambs held on to the top qualifying spot in the Top Fuel class with a 3.02 and got by Nick Vanderputte in round one of eliminations to advance to the final round. Ambs will face off on Sunday against Rob Scheytt, who defeated his brother Scott with Low ET of the weekend so far, 2.99. In Pro Truck, point leader Kyle Harney fell to George Colwell opening the door for Ben Dozeman who advanced past Mike Page in round one. A PTN record 28 entries took to the track in round one of Pro Truck eliminations. The weather looks exceptional for a great finish to this year’s U.S. Sand Nationals on Sunday.
