(TOLEDO, Ohio - March 11, 2014) - The Toledo Speedway Bar and Grille Banquet Room will host the annual Racer’s Reunion and Michigan Auto Racing Fan Club (MARFC) meeting Saturday, March 15.

Located on the grounds of Toledo Speedway, the Bar/Grille is the site for both of these functions this weekend.  The kitchen and bar will be open all day.  Admission to all festivities is free and open to the general public.

The Reunion has a new start time of 2 p.m. and runs until 6:30 p.m.  The Michigan Auto Racing Fan Club will conduct their monthly meeting immediately following the conclusion of the Reunion at 6:30.  The Toledo location has hosted the March event for several years in conjunction with the Racer’s Reunion.  ARCA President Ron Drager will speak to the crowd about the 2014 plans for both Flat Rock and Toledo Speedways and for the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards.

“We enjoy these Racer’s Reunions, which gives us the opportunity to say thank you to our former racers at both tracks,” noted Ron Drager, promoter of both speedways.  “We are looking forward to a large turnout of both fans and racers Saturday.”

The reunion events held at the tracks during the season will take place on the same weekend; Friday, May 30 at Toledo and Saturday, May 31 at Flat Rock.
