GREAT LAKES HELICOPTER RETURNS TO BACK TOLEDO GLASS CITY 200
(TOLEDO, Ohio - January 17, 2014) - Toledo Speedway’s signature event, the famed Glass City 200 Late Model invitational, will carry the Great Lakes Helicopter name again in 2014 as the title sponsor for the fourth consecutive season. The prestigious event takes place Saturday, September 20 at the lightning-fast ½ mile paved oval.
The Almont, MI-based business has been a huge supporter of outlaw Late Model racing in the Michigan-Ohio-Indiana area the past several years, and serves as the title sponsor of the Main Event Late Model Series, in addition to providing sponsorship for several key outlaw Late Model races at various tracks throughout the summer, in addition to the Glass City 200.
“We are very pleased to announce the return of Great Lakes Helicopter as the Glass City 200 sponsor,” stated Ron Drager, owner and promoter of the Glass City oval. Our thanks to John and Melony Lojko for continuing their tremendous support of this event.”
The 2013 edition of the race, the Silver Anniversary event of the classic, saw local favorite Dennis Strickland score the very popular victory over a great field of drivers.
An open practice is scheduled for Friday at the track, with more practice, qualifying and racing set for Saturday, September 20. The complete details of the schedule will be announced later this summer. A Sportsman invitational will also be part of the Great Lakes Helicopter Glass City 200 weekend.
