Toledo Speedway

Flat Rock, Michigan—April 20, 2013:  Despite a dusting of snow on the rooftops and the track surface in the morning, a hearty group of 47 race teams took laps at Flat Rock Speedway Saturday afternoon to prepare for the Jet’s Pizza Season Opener, which is set for Saturday, April 27.  The cold, bitter wind and snow flurries failed to halt the 5 hour practice session, which went off without any incidents.

A variety of race cars--Late Models, Figure 8’s, Street Stocks, Sportsman, Trucks, Enduro cars, Great Lakes Mini Cups and MCR Dwarf Cars zipped around the fast ¼ mile oval in preparation for the 2013 racing season.  The new-look Figure 8’s were sharp, as the class has the option to run without front fenders and nosepieces, giving the cars a Modified-type look.

The final practice session before opening night is set for Wednesday, April 24 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.  The pit area will open at 4 p.m.

Flat Rock Speedway will begin its 60^th Anniversary season Saturday, April 27 with the Jet’s Pizza Season Opener, featuring the ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Models, Parts Galore Figure 8’s and DTS Drive Train Specialists Street Stocks. 

Saturday’s time schedule for the opener has the pit area opening at 1:30, practice begins at 3 (spectator gates will also open at this time), time trials at 5 and racing at 7 p.m.  The track is located on Telegraph Road, just 5 minutes from I-75 or I-275.  The phone number is 734-782-2480.

Parking is FREE on the track grounds.  Flat Rock Speedway features the best entertainment value and concession pricing in Southeastern Michigan!
