MORAN CHEVROLET/STAN YEE MEMORIAL 150 JULY 27 AT FLAT ROCK

MORAN CHEVROLET/STAN YEE MEMORIAL 150 JULY 27 AT FLAT ROCK

(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 2nd 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 14th 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.

2014 GLASS CITY 200 MOVES UP 1 WEEK TO SEPTEMBER 20

Toledo, Ohio—November 20, 2013:  As the 2014 racing schedule for Toledo Speedway is being finalized, track officials have announced that the season-ending Glass City 200 Super Late Model Invitational will move up 1 week from the prior date for the upcoming season.  The date for 2014 is now set for Saturday, September 20.

“For several years, we have looked at moving the 200 date up a bit to avoid conflicts with other races in the area,” stated Ron Drager, owner and promoter of both Toledo and Flat Rock, MI Speedway.  “As things began to unfold for next year, and based on a number of scheduling issues on our part, the opportunity to move the race up 1 week made sense,” noted Drager.   “We believe moving the date will give more fans and maybe some race teams the chance to put the Glass City 200 on their schedules.”

The 2013 Great Lakes Helicopter Glass City 200 was won by Carleton, MI driver Dennis Strickland, Dennis also captured the Flat Rock Late Model crown this past season.

The entire 2014 schedule for both tracks will be released as the holiday season nears.  Log onto www.toledospeedway.com or www.flatrockspeedway.com for information during the off-season.

Bellieve it or not, it's dry at Toledo Speedway and practice is a go at 5 p.m. for the 23rd running of the Great Lakes Helicopters Glass City 200.  The 2 hour session, weather permitting, will give drivers a chance to dial in their cars before qualifying and the 200 Saturday.

A pair of late entries have arrived on the grounds, and their names are quite familiar to Late Model fans; Birmingham, Al driver Augie Grill and former Toledo champ Don St. Denis.

Grill will be at the wheel of Jerry Artuso's Car #5, while St. Denis returns to the track 5 years after his infamous altercation with Michael Simko.  The video of the incident, which gained world-wide attention, occured during a red flag of the Glass City 200.  Simko laid a flying drop kick on the windshield of St. Denis' car, and then the duo squared off in a short boxing match.

Saturday's schedule has practice at noon, time trials at 3 and racing at 5 p.m.  For all the details regarding the Glass City 200 and for the practice times after tonight's 2 hour session, log onto www.toledospeedway.com or www.arcaracing.com.
