Pat Gyori sent an email to Flat Rock and Toledo Speedway regarding the recently-deployed unit from Fraser, Michigan that was sent to Afghanistan.  Pat simply said that his son-in-law, who is part of the group, mentioned in their letters to home that one of the things that many of the members missed was going to the races at the 2 tracks with their families.

Mr. Gyori asked if there was something the tracks could do to recognize these men and women.  And, as you can see in the photos, the drivers at Flat Rock and Toledo Speedways proudly displayed their support of these individuals who allow us to enjoy the freedoms we have here in the United States.

To all of our troops, THANK YOU on behalf of the drivers, crew members, fans and officials…as the banner says..THANK YOU, THANK  YOU, THANK YOU!
