Healthy crowds visited the two venues this past weekend, while more than 75 drivers were seen roaming the malls, checking out the new paint schemes and bench racing with their fellow racers and teams as curious mall patrons checked out the cars that dotted the mall concourses.

TOLEDO, OH (3-28-08)--Flat Rock and Toledo Speedway are proud to announce the return of a majority of the race car division sponsors for the upcoming 2008 season, the addition of one new title sponsor and the new association with several companies at both tracks.

Moran Chevrolet of Clinton Township, MI and Miller Lite, through O & W, Inc. of Ypsilanti, will again return as co-sponsors of the ARCA Late Model class at Flat Rock Speedway. The duo begins its second year of title sponsorship of the super-fast, sleek Late Models at the ¼ mile paved oval. Moran Chevrolet has been involved with the division for several years, backing Dick Barker's #25. O & W, Inc. is in its second season of sponsorship at "The Rock".
