Rain Wins Again at Toledo Speedway
TOLEDO, OH (5-1-09)-- A beautiful morning turned into
clouds and rain as Mother Nature put the damper on Toledo Speedway's
Friday night opener. The pit area had opened when the rains hit the
track around 4:30 p.m. After 40 minutes of rain, the decision was made
to call it a night.
The initial Friday night race card has sponsorship from the
Buckeye Cable Sports Network (BCSN) and Tim Hortons. Fans can pick up
a $5 off admission coupon at participating Tim Hortons locations. All
coupons and tickets dated May 1 will be honored Friday, May 8.
The Toledo Blade will join BCSN and Tim Hortons to sponsor the May
8 race event. With the rain, the Friday, May 8 race card will be
filled with activities.
Armed Forces Appreciation Night has been rescheduled to next
Friday, with all military personnel admitted FREE with military ID.
The ID card should be presented at the ticket window.

And it's also All Faiths Night May 8 at Toledo Speedway. Fans can
bring their Church bulletin, present it at the ticket window and get in
