(TOLEDO, Ohio - September 29, 2012) - Wayland, MI driver Terry Senneker made a great save on lap 173, then took the lead for the first time with just 4 laps to go when race leader Steve Needles engine let go, paving the way to the win for Terry at the 24^th running of the Great Lakes Helicopter Glass City 200 Late Model race Saturday night at Toledo Speedway.  Meloney Lojko and her son, Brandon, representing Great Lakes Helicopter, presented the 5 foot trophy to Terry in the Sun Drop Winner’s Circle.

Perhaps the strongest field in several years assembled for the event, with 33 cars on the grounds.  A total of 32 cars started the 200 lap grind, the longest race of the season for the outlaw-bodied Late Models.  Mike Luberda withdrew from the race after having engine trouble during Friday’s practice session.  Track record holder JR Roahrig lowered his mark in the PASSTIME time trials, clicking off a lap of 14:628 to set a new 1 lap record and picking up the $500 bonus.  JR pulled the 10 chip for the inversion, putting North Carolina driver Brad Rogers and Johnny Belott on the front row.

If you are headed to Toledo Speedway today for the Great Lakes Helicopter Glass City 200, be aware of construction on I-75.

In Michigan, I-75 south from I-275 (exit 20) to LaPlaisance Road (Exit 11) is down to 1 lane.  Telegraph Road is an alternate should you want to avoid this mess.  Telegraph Road is also under construction in Monroe, so be prepared!

In Ohio, I-75 North from exit 205 to 208, is also under construction, down to 1 lane.  

The Michigan notice of down to 1 lane was just announced yesterday---sorry!  Race time is 5 p.m. tonight!  Give yourself extra time!

Toledo, Ohio—September 29, 2012:  Coopersville, MI driver Johnny VanDoorn led a very fast practice session Friday afternoon for tomorrow’s 24^th running of the Great Lakes Helicopter Glass City 200 at Toledo Speedway.  VanDoorn clicked off a lap of 14:828 in preparation for the big race.  A total of 29 cars took practice laps for the outlaw Late Models.  Several Sportsman Cars and X Cars also took part in the 2 hour practice, held in brilliant sunshine with blue skies.  The practice session was uneventful as teams worked away at getting quicker each session.

The top 10 in practice were VanDoorn, JR Roahrig, Steve Needles, Brent Jack, Terry Senneker, Dakota Carlson, Brad Rogers, Jack Varney Jr., Harold Fair Jr. and Johnny Belott.  For a list of practice times, go to www.toledospeedway or www.arcaracing.com, scroll down and click on the Glass City 200 icon.
