Toledo Speedway

A total of 33 ARCA Glass City Gold Cup Late Models are in the pits and now practicing for tonight's Diamond Racing Products Joy Fair Memorial 100 at Flat Rock Speedway!  A couple more cars are still expected as the track prepares to honor the memory of the legendary Fair, who passed away in December of 2011.

It's an impressive list, and add to it the late entries of Terry Senneker, Brent Jack, Jimmy Thiel, Don St. Denis and Brian Clay!

In addition to the Moran Chevrolet Late Models, the Parts Galore Figure 8's and DTS Drive Train Specialists Street Stocks will also compete tonight.

It's warm and dry--join us for what looks to be a great night of racing at "The Rock".

(TOLEDO, Ohio - June 21, 2013) - Howard Kelley Jr., Robbie Loving, Dennis Whisman and David Price were victorious Friday night at Toledo Speedway.  Marco’s Pizza and Qualite Sports Lighting Systems sponsored the race card at the ½ mile paved oval on a warm evening.  Chef Marco was on hand to greet the fans!  Joe Mouch, representing Marco’s, presented the trophies in the Sun Drop Winner’s Circle.  Qualite provided $50 gift cards to each of the feature winners.

Thank you to all of our sponsors!

Re:  Toledo Late Model tires

On Wednesday, June 5, Hoosier Tire conducted a tire test at Toledo Speedway for the ARCA Late Models.  Irish Saunders, Asphalt Product Manager for Hoosier, conducted the test.  Ken Kolter, lead engineer and his staff were also present at the test.

The cars of JR Roahrig, #16, John VanDoorn, #61, and Dennis Strickland, #90, took part in the day-long test session.

3 combinations of tires were tested:

F45/Star 56

3035/3045

F40/F50

After reviewing all test data, Hoosier has determined that the F40 left side and F50 right side tires are the proper tire for Toledo Speedway Late Models at this current time. 

“The Hoosier F40/F50 combination is a proven tire and the best fit for Toledo,” said Saunders.  “The tire will be consistent and durable.”

Tires will be available at both the ARCA office and Toledo Speedway Monday, July 1. 

*An open test is being planned for Friday, July 5.  There will be no pit pass fees for Late Model teams.  The plan is to open at 3:30, the Late Models will have the track from 4:30-5:15 and from 6:45-7:15.  We are running our weekly show that night also.  *We plan to have some used F40/F50 tires here at the track for use on July 5 that will be available at no charge.

*Teams planning to test July 5 must contact Scott or Casey at Toledo at 419-727-1100 prior to the test.

Thank you,

Ron Drager

Flat Rock, Michigan—June 15, 2013 (Delayed):  Rain began to fall at Flat Rock Speedway
Saturday night, causing a nearly 1 hour delay in the program.  But a large crowd sat through the elements, and more fans came late as the Parts Galore School Bus Figure 8 races were not to be stopped! 

The night featured perhaps one of the most entertaining and destructive nights of fun.  And, for the very first time, the bus fans were treated to a night of the ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Models for a 50 lap event.  The ARCA Parts Galore Figure 8 class also thrilled the crowd.

Despite a nearly 1 hour delay due to rain, a large and enthusiastic crowd ventured out to Flat Rock Speedway Saturday for the Parts Galore School Bus Figure 8 races.  Dennis Strickland captured the 50 lap ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Model feature, while Dennis Whisman took top honors in the Parts Galore Figure 8 race.

An incredibly wild and destructive night had the crowd roaring as Jeff King and the field bounced off of abandoned boats and trailers to win the Boat Figure 8 race.  After the flag, Jeff slammed his machine over the top of a boat and blasted it into pieces, again to thunderous applause and cheers.  A total of 3 buses went over on their sides in perhaps the wildest School Bus Figure 8 race in memory at "The Rock".  Ray Gaddis survived to claim the checkered flag.

Additional details will follow Monday.
