Toledo Speedway

(Toledo, Ohio — July 7, 2014):  Leg number 3 of the Discount Tire ARCA Gold Cup Late Model Series hits Toledo Speedway Friday night, July 11.  The Discount Tire 100 presented by PNC Bank for the outlaw-bodied Late Models will go 100 laps, with June winner Dakota Carlson leading the list of entries.

Two lucky race fans will also have the opportunity to win a brand new Ram pickup, courtesy of Grogan’s Towne and PNC Bank.  The contest will see 10 names drawn and those 10 fans will then be whittled down to two.   The final 2 will kick a football from 35 yards, and if the football lands and stays in the bed of the Dodge pickup truck, they are a winner!  The contest will take place during breaks in the racing event. .
