(TOLEDO, Ohio - July 12, 2013) - After having victory elude him at Toledo Speedway, Steve Needles finally got the win he deserved and did it in dominating fashion, sailing to the victory in the Parts Galore 100 for the ARCA Glass City Gold Cup Late Model Series Friday night.  Howard Kelley Jr. and Robbie Loving continued their win streaks by taking their feature events on a perfect night for racing.

Scott Hantz powered into the lead on the green flag of the 100 lap Late Model feature, but Needles was right there and took the top spot on lap 8.  Harold Fair Jr. began his march to the front, moving to 3^rd and then 2^nd by lap 12.  As Needles zipped along, the first yellow came out on lap 53 for debris.  On the restart, Needles got out front again, but the yellow appeared on lap 56 when Scott Pemberton dropped oil, causing Fair Jr., Hantz, Dakota Carlson and Dennis Strickland to spin.  A lengthy cleanup stopped the action.  On the restart Fair had something for the leader as he dove under Needles in turn 3, briefly taking the lead, but the yellow erased that move when Brent Jack spun on lap 59.  When racing resumed, Steve took off as he zoomed away to his first Toledo victory of his career.  Fair Jr. and Strickland traded second spot in the final 10 laps, with Fair Jr. nailing down second, Strickland third, Jack came back to claim fourth and Jake Francis was fifth, followed by Mike Root, Hantz, Sam Coulter, Nick Bailey and Ron Allen.  Carlson, Pemberton, JR Karl and Don St. Denis were next in line at the finish.  Nick Grodi and Jason LaDuke scratched after practice.  Jack set the fat time at 15:159.
