Toledo Speedway

Toledo, Ohio—May 13, 2011:  It was just another day in paradise at Toledo Speedway Friday evening as Mother Nature continues to play havoc with the 2011 race schedule.  With the heat races completed and the Buckeye 305 Sprint Car feature on the track, the rains hit the speedway and washed out the Grogan’s Towne Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge-Ram Scout Night.

Two weeks to get caught up on… because I haven’t got down to the pits and check out all the new drivers, this is going to be a short column.

(Toledo, Ohio, Flat Rock, Michigan—May 10, 2011):  Everyone’s favorite sea creature is making his way to Toledo and Flat Rock Speedways!  Sponge Bob, the hit Nick TV cartoon character, will drop anchor Friday and Saturday, June 3-4.

(Flat Rock, Michigan - May 7, 2011) - With rain once again hitting many areas around Flat Rock Speedway, the weather somehow avoided the track and Saturday’s Action Painting/Fasten Right Roofing Night show was completed.  With a great effort by the race teams, the entire program was completed in just 2 hours and 15 minutes.  Tim Moore, Gary Camelet, Robbie Loving and Brad Turner visited victory lane.

(Toledo, Ohio - May 6, 2011) - Weekly Friday night racing withstood a threat from Mother Nature at Toledo Speedway, allowing the 7-Up/PNC Bank Opener to be completed.  Jim Froling is ready to defend his 2010 title and showed it by winning the ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman portion of the event.  Jeremy Vanderhoof captured the Parts Galore Figure 8 main, while Cory McCaughey sailed to victory in the R & M Recycling Street Stock feature.  Matt Brazeau capped off the night with the victory in the Jeff’s Collision 4 Cylinder race.

(Toledo, Ohio - May 5, 2011) -  A variety of race cars tested at Toledo Speedway Wednesday night, prepping for Friday night’s 7 Up/PNC Bank Season Opener at the Glass City oval.  The event is also Race #1 in the 10-race Valvoline Instant Oil Change Summer Racing Series.
