Toledo Speedway

Toledo, Ohio—April 30, 2013:  Tonight’s practice session at Toledo Speedway is now complete, as the speedway and its race teams prepare for the first Friday night race of the new season this Friday, May 3.  The practice was originally scheduled for Sunday, but rain washed the day out.

Both the ½ mile paved oval and the ¼ mile oval got a workout Tuesday night.  Several ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman cars took laps, as well as a host of ARCA Late Models, preparing for their first race at Toledo May 10.  An ARCA Truck, Modifieds, ARCA Parts Galore Figure 8’s, ARCA 4 Cylinders and several of the new-division X Cars were at the track preparing for the 2013 season.

This Friday’s race card has the Sportsman, Figure 8’s, the ARCA 4 Cylinders and the R & M Recycling X Cars on the schedule.  The pit area will open at 3:30, practice begins at 5 p.m., time trials are set for 6:15 and racing gets the green flag at 7:30 p.m.  The spectator gates will open at 5.

The second Friday night show on May 10 will see the ARCA Glass City Gold Cup Late Models in town for the Hollywood Casino 100. Drivers from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Canada are expected for race number 1 of the 6 race series, which will see 100 laps of green flag racing.  The ARCA Sportsman cars and the X Cars will also be in action.

Parking is free on the grounds of the track.  Toledo Speedway features the best concession prices and entertainment value in the Toledo area every Friday night throughout the summer.
