JR, TYLER ROAHRIG LEAD NEXT GROUP OF TOLEDO GLASS CITY ENTRIES

Toledo, Ohio: Defending race winner JR Roahrig has filed his entry for the Outlaw Late Model 100 lap event for the 30th Anniversary of the Central Transport Glass City 200 presented by the Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn and Courtyard by Marriott at Toledo Speedway Saturday, September 15.

The total purse for the 30th running of this prestigious event exceeds $60,000. The outlaw-bodied Late Models and the ARCA/CRA Super Series powered by Jeg’s stock-bodied Late Models will each battle in 100 lap main events on the fast ½ mile paved oval.

Roahrig, the Plymouth, IN driver, has plenty of fast opponents as JR looks to repeat his 2017 victory. JR’s son, Tyler, has entered and is one of the top outlaw Late Model racers in the Midwest. JR captured the event in the 200 lap format back in 2014, while Tyler notched his first Glass City win in 2016, the last 200 lap race before the switch in formats to a pair of 100 lap races for both groups in 2017.

A strong field is beginning to form as Andy Bozell, Phil Bozell, Dennis Rederstorf, rookie Albert Francis, Nick Grodi and surprise entrant Johnny VanDoorn have added their names to the Outlaw Late Model field. VanDoorn, the defending race winner for the ARCA/CRA stock-bodied Late Model portion of the Glass City last year, will be making a rare start in the #50 machine. Grodi, Scott Hantz and VanDoorn are pulling double duty and will compete in both 100 lap contests.

The ARCA/CRA 100 lap event entry list includes VanDoorn, Brian Campbell, current CRA point leaders Josh Brock, Austin Kunert, Hunter Jack, Jon Beach and Logan Runyon, local favorites Harold Fair Jr., Kyle Crump and Michael Simko, California teenagerTyler Ankrum and Wisconsin hot shoe Dennis Prunty.
