Toledo Speedway

(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.

 

...

Saturday's Diamond Racing Products Joy Fair Memorial 100 at Flat Rock Speedway was cancelled when a powerful thunderstorm ripped through the grounds at 4 p.m.

Rougly 4 to 5 inches of rain fell in less than 90 minutes, flooding the track infield, pit area and parking lot.  The deluge was accompanied by high winds that knocked down several large billboards, splintered tree limbs and moved anything not anchored down.  Lightning struck the track scoreboard, a transformer on the north edge of the property and in the pit area.

The incredible force of Mother Nature was not a pretty sight as a full pit area took cover when the weather cell took a turn from the south and came directly at the track, then turned again and went directly westward.

A incredible field of 36 Late Models were at the track for the event.  The Diamond Racing Products Joy Fair Memorial 100 will now become part of the track's 60th Anniversary show Saturday, July 6. 

More details will follow soon.

(TOLEDO, Ohio - July 10, 2013) - For the last 4 weeks, Mother Nature has not been kind to the Northern Ohio-Southeast Michigan area.  But there’s good news in store for this Friday, July 12 at Toledo Speedway.  In addition to chatting with the man above, Santa Claus has agreed to make an appearance and has promised good weather for the Parts Galore 100 and the annual Christmas In July prize giveway!

...

(FLAT ROCK, MI - July 18, 2013) - For the past several seasons, Flat Rock Speedway’s biggest race of the year, the Moran Chevrolet/Stan Yee Memorial 150, has been incredible in terms of action, excitement and competition.  And the 2012 edition was perhaps the best yet, as Mike Root passed both Harold Fair Jr. and Scott Hantz in the final 3 laps to record the thrilling victory, much to the delight of the large crowd on hand.

And now the question looms…..can this year’s race live up to last year’s event?  The story of each of these races starts with the quality of the field of cars that have ventured to “The Rock” to run 150 laps on the tight, yet fast ¼ mile oval.  For those of you that have yet to visit, the track has 2 grooves for great side by side racing.

Last year, the story of this grand race started early.  Again, quality throughout the field in terms of equipment and drivers.  First-time Flat Rock visitor Jeff Ganus wheeled into the lead and then battled with Scott Hantz for much of the event—Hantz in the low groove, Ganus up top in the 2^nd lane.  Enter Harold Fair Jr. into the picture and the battle was on…again, incredible action!  Meanwhile, Mike Root, who has become known at least in these parts as the guy that lays back and then powers his way into contention, did just that.  With less than 50 laps to go, Root was back to 14^th spot.  It was time—time to go.  1 by 1, car by car, Root picked them off; high, low, up, down.  Ganus faded slightly, Fair moved into second and began to pressure Hantz----but no one had any money on Root.  The red #9 moved to the top of the track, stayed in the throttle and nosed by first Fair and then Hantz in the final 3 circuits as the crowd stood and cheered loudly. 

The stories of the texts and phone calls to friends that weren’t at the track…and you know who you are, to tell them what they just missed keep being repeated, to remind them of what they missed.  And, that this race is one that you have to see.

...

The Glass City Gold Cup Series returned to Toledo Friday night. The race was to be race four, but last week’s race rained out at Flat Rock. For the first time in five years there has been two first time winners in the series ... race two Stevie Cronenwett won and this week Steve Needles finally got his first Gold Cup win. The prior two late model races at Toledo Needles has been leading late in the race and had some misfortune befall him.

Bob Ward of Romulus, MI passed away last evening after being hospitalized earlier in the week.  Bob was 78 years old.  He was affectionately known as “Grumpy” by all his friends.

A car owner for over 40 years, Bob fielded Late Models for many, many drivers, which carried his # 6.  He was a superb fabricator and worked on race cars out of his shop at his home.  Despite being confined to a wheelchair in the past years, Bob never stopped helping racers and was a fixture at both Flat Rock and Toledo Speedways.

He is survived by his wife, Lela, son Jim and daughters Linda and Elizabeth.  He was preceded in death by another son, Bobby.

Visitation will be held at the Crane Funeral Home, 36885 Goddard Road (734-941-9200) in Romulus on Monday, August 19 from Noon to 8:30 p.m.  Services will be held at the funeral home Tuesday, August 20 at 11 a.m.

(Toledo, Ohio - August 30, 2013) - The large crowd that ventured to Toledo Speedway Friday for the Wendy’s Hamburgers “Night of Destruction” got what they came for and more!  A wild and entertaining night of action and thrills put the exclamation mark on the evening, which included the track’s ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman division championship event. 

Representing the Toledo-area and surrounding Wendy’s franchises, Wendy was busy all night, greeting fans, presenting trophies and she also sang both the Canadian and our National Anthem! 

For the first time, the Sportsman class competed as part of the Night of Destruction race card.  Ron Allen captured the 40 lap Championship race, the final point event of the season.  A very competitive chase for the lead saw Ron Allen hold on for the win over Mike Young, Kyle DeLisle Jr., Howard Kelley Jr., Jim Froling, Greg Stilwell, Jeff Myers Jr., Chad Stilwell, Kenny McKay Jr., Dan Grigsby, Norm Lewallen, David Frantz, Kent McCloskey, Andy Harding and Rich Abel.  Froling captured the 2013 track championship, edging out DeLisle Jr., Allen, McKay Jr. and Young for the honor.  Kelley Jr. and Myers Jr. took the heat wins.  DeLisle Jr. set quick time at 17:447.
