Toledo Speedway

(TOLEDO, Ohio - April 25, 2013) - Andrew Morrisey lives in Wisconsin, but that won’t stop the Badger state native from making the trip to Toledo Speedway for the Friday, May 10 Hollywood Casino 100 for the ARCA Glass City Gold Cup Series Late Models, the first event of 2013 for the class at the Glass City oval.  Second-generation driver Jason LaDuke has also filed his entry for the contest, which features the top outlaw Late Model drivers in the Midwest.

Morrisey, who resides in Madison, WI, was at Toledo last season for a Gold Cup race and the ARCA/CRA stock-bodied Late Model event.  In fact, the team made the trip to Toledo back on April 20 for the season-opening ARCA/CRA-ARCA Midwest event.

LaDuke is the son of Don LaDuke, a former Toledo and ARCA driver for many years. Jason, who resides in Clinton Twp, MI will make his Toledo Late Model debut for the May 10 Hollywood Casino 100.
