Toledo Speedway

FLAT ROCK, MI: (7-30-13):  With Mother Nature’s unwanted assistance, Flat Rock Speedway has had to alter its scheduling after several rainouts in the past weeks.  Saturday, August 10, the Joy Fair Memorial and the Stan Yee Memorial will be combined into 1 race, for 150 laps.  Diamond Racing Products and Moran Chevrolet will sponsor the biggest race of the season.

“We have simply run out of dates,” noted Ron Drager, owner-promoter of the track.  “After 2 postponements of the Joy Fair Memorial and now the rainout of the Stan Yee Memorial last Saturday, our options have dwindled,” added Drager.  “We will now honor the memory of Joy Fair and Stan Yee for the August 10 race, which will be 150 laps.”

The pit pass prices and front gate prices will remain the same as they were for the 150 lap event that was scheduled for July 27.  The event will pay $2533 to win and $533 to start the contest, with over 30 drivers from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Canada expected.  The lap money will rise to $10 per lap, as the laps have sponsors for each of the 2 races.  That will now be combined to move the amount to $10 per lap.  In addition, several laps have additional bonus money attached.

Diamond Racing Products has posted $333 for fast time, in honor of Yee’s famous car number, #33. 

The original rain date for the 150 was to be August 3, but with the rescheduling of the Fair Memorial for August 10 and the upcoming ARCA/CRA 125 lap race August 17, track officials will combine the Memorial races into 1 event, 150 laps for August 10.  “Flat Rock Speedway could not stage 3 major races in 3 weeks,” stated Drager.

Front grandstand rain checks that were not refunded should be exchanged at the ticket windows upon arrival to the speedway on race day.  Rain checks from other 2013 rainout dates other than July 27 will carry an additional admission price.  Pit passes that were not refunded will also be honored.

For those that cannot make it to the track August 10, Flat Rock Speedway rain checks for either the pit or grandstand are valid for any remaining 2013 event at Flat Rock.  If there is a difference in price, the amount will be paid or refunded, depending on the purchase price versus the cost for that particular event.

Flat Rock’s Parts Galore Figure 8 division and the ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman class will also be in competition as support divisions.  Each class will run features only on this night.

A total of 41 Late Models were on hand at the July 27 rainout.  A majority of those drivers are expected to return to “The Rock” for the 150 lap race August 10. 

The August 10 event will be leg number 4 of 5 for the ARCA Glass City Gold Cup Series.  Drivers that prepaid their entry for the originally-scheduled 6 Gold Cup races will now be refunded for the one event. 

The pit gate will open at 1 p.m., practice begins at 3, the front gates open at 3, time trials are set for 5 and racing begins at 7 p.m.

The lap money sponsorship lists follow.
