(TOLEDO, Ohio - April 2, 201) - While it’s just a day after April Fools Day, a sneak peek at the current entry list for the Saturday, April 20 “Border Wars” 7-Up 150 at Toledo Speedway is no joke.  The event will see the stock-bodied ARCA/CRA Super Series Late Models and the ARCA Midwest Tour paired together in competition for the first time in the history of the 2 groups.

The Flat Rock and Toledo Speedway track officials and race teams send their thoughts and prayers to Kim Hebert,the wife of ARCA Street Stock driver Chris Hebert (Car #31).

Word has been received that Kim has been diagnosed with a serious illness.  Please keep Kim and Chris in your thoughts and prayers. 

(TOLEDO, Ohio - March 31, 2013) - The weather finally broke, and the gates swung open at Toledo Speedway for the first round of several tests already scheduled in preparation for the first two big-shows of the season - the 7-Up 150 on Saturday, April 20 and the Menards 200 presented by Federated Car Care on May 19. And the father-son duo of Fred and Brian Campbell were the first to put their car on the pavement at Toledo Friday afternoon. Their focus was the 7-Up 150, when the ARCA CRA Super Series and the ARCA Midwest Tour join forces for the first time in history to battle it out in the annual Border Wars 7-Up 150.

William Joseph Giordano, long time ARCA Late Model crew member for the late John Anderson and others including Artie and Jay Sommers, died unexpectedly March 25 at the age of 60. Giordano was a fixture at Mt. Clemens Race Track, Flat Rock and Toledo Speedways and at major late model racing events around the midwest from the late 1960s into the 1980s and was affectionately known as "Dago". He was a frequent visitor to the Stan Yee Racing shop and was employed by high performance parts companies including Diamond Racing Products and Katech Engineering.

(TOLEDO, Ohio - March 27, 2013) - The Buckeye Cable Sports Network (BCSN) will now air a total of 12 Flat Rock and Toledo Speedway events for the 2013 racing season.  The local cable access channel of the Buckeye Cable System has added 2 dates to the previously-announced 10 race event schedule with the 2 ARCA-sanctioned tracks. 

(TOLEDO, Ohio – March 26, 2013) – To say Kyle Benjamin is on a roll is an understatement.

He was already one of the hottest late model drivers in the country last year when he won the 2012 ARCA/CRA Super Series Southern Championship, the youngest champ the series has ever had. Then he scored an unprecedented four straight wins during “Speedweeks” at New Smyrna, Fla., further building on his increasingly solid racing resume.

Benjamin has continued on his soaring career path by winning six of the 10 races he has entered. He will be a driver to watch when he steers his Benjamin Motorsports Ford into the 7-Up 150 at Toledo Speedway April 20

Word has been received that former ARCA Late Model owner Curt Wood passed away Monday, March 18.  Curt fielded the #58 machines and had several drivers, including current ARCA Late Model driver Joe Hawes for the 1986 and 1987 seasons.  Curt had battled pneumonia earlier this year.

A memorial service is to be held at a later date.

(TOLEDO, Ohio - March 23, 2013) - Never before in history has the ARCA CRA Super Series and the ARCA Midwest Tour competed together in the same race at the same track. That all changes in a big way in 2013 when both tours battle it out together and side-by-side at Toledo Speedway in April and again at Madison Int'l Speedway in August.

(TOLEDO, Ohio - March 22, 2013) - Angola, IN driver Scott Hantz is one of the first entries for the Saturday, April 20 “Border Wars” 7-Up 150 at Toledo Speedway.  The event will see the stock-bodied ARCA/CRA Super Series Late Models and the ARCA Midwest Late Model tour paired together in competition for the first time in the history of the 2 groups.  A strong contingent of the top Late Model drivers is expected for the race, which opens up Toledo’s 2013 race schedule.
