Toledo Speedway

(TOLEDO, Ohio - April 25, 2012) - Wayland, MI driver Terry Senneker has inked his entry for this Sunday’s ARCA Allegiant Gold Cup 100 lap event at Toledo Speedway, which is one half of the 7-Up Twin 100’s at the ½ mile paved oval.  The ARCA/CRA Super Series Late Models will also be in competition with a separate 100 lap event for the stock-bodied Late Models.

Senneker, one of the top outlaw Late Model racers in the Midwest, will make his first trip to Toledo in several years.  The second-generation star is a threat to win wherever he races, and Terry kicked off the 2012 season in winning style by capturing the 100 lap event at the Berlin Raceway in Marne, MI April 14. 

In fact, the pavement Late Model racing season is just 2 weeks old in this area, and the winners of both events are scheduled to be at Toledo this Sunday, April 29.  Kalamazoo Speedway winner Steve Needles, fresh off his win in the Intimidator 100 last Saturday night, is also entered for the Toledo event.  Needles will be looking for his first-ever victory at the Glass City oval.

As of 5 p.m. today, a total of 33 ARCA/CRA Super Series cars and 26 ARCA Allegiant Gold Cup cars are entered for the doubleheader.  The forecast for Sunday is sunshine and temperatures in the low 50’s.

A section of Toledo’s new grandstand has been completed and will be open for Sunday’s race, giving race fans a new and spectacular view of the track. 

An open practice session is slated for Saturday, April 28 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.  There is no charge for spectators for Saturday’s practice.  Tours of the new grandstands will be available Saturday afternoon, which includes a large handicap seating area.  7-Up will be giving away a bottle of 7-Up for fans that venture to the top of the new stands in the “Pop at the Top” promotion during the practice day.

Sunday’s schedule has practice beginning at 11 a.m., time trials go at 12:45 and racing begins at 2 p.m.  The pits will open both days at 9 a.m.  The ticket office and grandstand gates will open at 11 a.m. Sunday morning.  All seating is general admission.
