In 1968,
Toledo Speedway promoter and ARCA founder John Marcum came up with the idea of
running a 200 lap Late Model invitational—the Glass City 200. Despite a 20-year hiatus of the race from
1978-1998 (when the Toledo
track was sold), the race was revived in 1999 when Marcum’s grandson, Ron
Drager, purchased the track with business partner Roy Mott.
And the race
still carries the prestige and notoriety that it once did back in the 1960’s
and 1970’s.
In the 1960’s and 1970’s, a driver
driving for a car owner instead of his own machine was commonplace on the short
tracks. The #24, owned by Adrian, MI
businessman John Ramus, put Ed Cooper in the seat of his Camaro and the
Jackson, MI native made sure Ramus got a big victory with the win in the 1976
version of the Glass City 200. Ramus,
