KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Defending Must See Racing Sprint Car Series champion Jimmy McCune led the way in Sunday’s opening practice session for the Engine Pro 50 at Kalamazoo Speedway.

McCune posted a fast lap of 11.225 seconds (120.267 mph) around the lightning-fast, three-eighths mile oval in his No. 88 Abe’s Auto Parts & Sales/B&B Machinery Movers sprinter to lead a 20-car field on Jerry Landon Klassic Night at the historic facility.

Canadian Ryan Litt, who set the fast time at Owosso Speedway on Aug. 6, was second-fastest in the session and about a tenth off McCune’s pace, posting a time of 11.350 seconds (118.943 mph) in the first group of three to post laps.

Former NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Bobby Santos III was third overall (11.394/118.483) in the Dick Fieler Racing No. 22A, followed by former MSR supermodified champion Kyle Edwards in fourth (11.487/117.524).

Ryan Gillenwater rounded out the Fast Five, ahead of Tyler Roahrig, Kevin Feeney, Jason Blonde, Teddy Alberts and John Turnbull Jr.
