SYLVANIA-JACKMAN AUTO CREDIT CENTER OF FRANKLIN PARK TO SPONSOR PRE-RACE PARTY

TOLEDO, OH: (9-17-09): 2006 race winner Jack Landis and Mt. Morris, MI driver Johnny Belott are the lastest entries for the 21st running of the Glass City 200 Late Model invitational presented by AP Motorsports, set for Saturday, October 3 at Toledo Speedway. The track has also announced that Sylvania-Jackman Auto Credit Center of Franklin Park has signed on to sponsor Friday's pre-race party at the Speedway Bar and Grille.

Landis, a resident of Edgerton, OH, is a multi-race Late Model winner this season throughout Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.  Jack posted the victory at Spartan (Lansing, MI) Speedway Labor Day weekend, coming from the back of the pack to win the Harvest 100.  In 2006, Landis scored the upset win in the Glass City 200 lap contest at the ½ mile paved oval.

Joining Landis on the entry list is Johnny Belott, a second-generation driver who has been very competitive at Toledo.  A former ARCA Late Model Rookie of the Year at Toledo, Belott has run just a handful of races this season but remains as a threat to win the 21^st edition of the prestigious event.

The Sylvania-Jackman Auto Credit Center of Franklin Park will serve as the sponsor for the pre-race party, which will take place at the Speedway Bar and Grille following the Friday, October 2 practice session, which runs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.  Each person purchasing a pit pass on Friday will receive a complimentary drink and food, courtesy of the Auto Credit Center, which is located at the corner of Sylvania and Jackman Roads in Toledo.  The car lot will also host a kick-off event at the location this Saturday, September 26, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The pit area will open at 1 p.m. Friday afternoon for rig parking, tire sales, tech and practice.  Saturday, October 3 is race day!  The pits will open at 9:30 a.m., practice begins at noon, time trials are set for 3 and racing begins at a special time of 5 p.m.  A rain date of Sunday, October 4 at 1 p.m. has been established if needed.

The race will pay $5500 to the winner, with $1000 earmarked to start the 200 lap classic.  With special awards and lap money on the line, a driver could walk away with over $7500 for his efforts.  LV Alliance has posted $500 for fast time.  The race will feature a 20 minute break at the lap 101 mark.  A total cash purse of over $60,000 has been posted for the 1-day event, which will also include the ARCA Sportsman cars and the Michigan Legends Cars.
