ASA STARS National Tour Set For Toledo Speedway This Saturday Night
Toledo, OH- The ASA STARS National Tour heads to Toledo Speedway this Saturday night, September 14, for the $15,000 to win CorvetteParts.Net Glass City 200. The field is wide open and it is safe to say that the entire field has a legitimate shot at winning. 20 drivers from 12 states and Canada have all filed entries. Joining the ASA STARS National Tour will be the Late Model Sportsman and the Factory Stocks. Below is a breakdown of who to keep and eye on this weekend during the Glass City 200.
Who to Watch:
Austin Nason - One driver to certainly keep your eye on is Austin Nason. Nason has come on strong in the second half of the season and is a serious contender to win. He’s no stranger to Victory Lane at big tracks as he is a former winner of the Joe Shear Classic and the Howie Lettow Classic at Madison International Speedway as well as the Father’s Day 100 at the Milwaukee Mile.
Kyle Steckly - He got his first ASA STARS National Tour win at Anderson Speedway during the Redbud 400. In his Rookie year with the ASA STARS National Tour, Steckly currently sits 2nd in the Rookie of the Year standings and trails Dawson Sutton by only 8 points. The young Canadian also just secured his 2nd APC United Late Model Series Championship last weekend at the Delaware Speedway.
Casey Roderick - He comes into Toledo as the series point leader. Roderick has been consistent all season long and will be looking for the $15,000 payday. Roderick has won several of the big Super Late Model events in the south like the Rattler, World Crown, All American 400 and the Red Eye.
Gio Ruggiero - While he’s still looking for that first ASA STARS National Tour win of 2024, Ruggiero is no stranger to Victory Lane. Ruggiero just swept the World Stock Car Festival Twin 50’s at Winchester Speedway with the CRA Super Series. Last season, he won the Tar Heel 250 and the Winchester 400.
Former Winners:
There are 2 former Glass City 200 winners entered for this Saturday. 2021 event winner Blake Rowe will be in the house. Rowe also is the current point leader with the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour. The other entry is Michigan veteran Brian Campbell. Campbell won the event back in 2007. He also is 2nd on the CRA Super Series all-time wins list with 29.
