Adams, whose son Tommy Adams drives in the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series, drove in ARCA sanctioned races for John Marcum in the 1960s, sparking his interest in track ownership and promotion. Mt. Clemens Race Track operated under ARCA sanction for several years in the 1970s with Adams and Johnny May promoting the races. Adams purchased Toledo Speedway from Herb Koester in 1978 and sold the track to Ron Drager and Roy Mott in January 1999. Pictured left to right, Johnny May, John Marcum and Sonny Adams in 1973.

Flat Rock, Michigan—March 16, 2012:  The unexpected passing of the legendary Joy Fair December 10, 2011 at the age of 81, took most by surprise, as his was truly a “larger than life” presence.  Fair was one of the top short track racers in the country, amassing over 800 career feature victories around the Midwest in his lifetime.  Joy was a 10-time Flat Rock Speedway champion and 7-time Toledo Speedway champ and is the all-time win leader at both tracks.
