Toledo Speedway

Colin "Butch" Giles, long time sponsor and car owner at Flat Rock and Toledo Speedway, passed away February 20 after a brief illness. For decades, Giles promoted his Giles Auto Body auto collision repair business by sponsoring race teams, race events and special awards to racers at Flat Rock and Toledo. On what would be his final day at the track in October 2009, Giles enjoyed possibly his most successful day at the track at Toledo Speedway's Glass City 200 when Dave Kuhlman won in a Giles Auto Body sponsored car and Ron Allen finished 2nd in a car owned and sponsored by Giles. Giles, 67, made his home in Livonia. He is survived by his sons Henry and Jeff.
