With the entire Midwest under an Excessive Heat Warning Friday, the ARCA Allgiant Air Gold Cup went on as scheduled at Toledo (Ohio) Speedway on Friday. Harold Fair Jr. won the race.

It was the temperature and high heat indices that was the story prior to the race. At qualifying it was 96 degrees and a heat index of 105 according to the National Weather Service. The race was scheduled to start just after 7:30 with a temperature of 95 degrees and an heat index of 103 but it was put on hold about a half hour while several heat induced medical emergencies occurred on pit road and were taken care of by the EMTs.

When the cars took to the frontstretch about 8:15, the temperature had dropped to 90 degrees but the heat index was still 103. Luckily for drivers and the sparse crowd that braved the heat, a light cloud cover appeared in time for the start of the race. At the halfway point the drivers all came down pit road and ARCA officials provided them with water (no work was allowed) by this time the temperature had dropped to 87 degrees and a heat index of 98. At race end it was 84 with a heat index of 93, because of the high oppressive humidity.

Now for the race ...

Toledo, Ohio—July 12, 2012:  In a mutual decision among both the Buckeye 305 Sprint Car tour and Toledo Speedway, the Friday, August 10 show has been cancelled at the Glass City oval.  The group has experienced short fields for several events this season and the decision has been made to cancel the race at Toledo.

“We have been in constant communication with the Buckeye 305 Sprint Series for several weeks regarding the Toledo race,” said Scott Schultz, General Manager of Toledo.  “The group has had short fields for several of their races and it was agreed that it was in the best interest of the Series and Toledo Speedway and its fans to cancel this event.”

“With that said, we have confidence in the group and we will begin discussions this fall regarding booking dates for the 2013 season at both Toledo and Flat Rock Speedways,” added Schultz.  “We will continue to work with the series.”

With the cancellation, Toledo track management will make a schedule adjustment.  The Figure 8 Train Race, originally set for the August 3 date, will now move to Friday, August 10.

...

Below is the list of prizes that have been donated as of July 12 for the annual Christmas in July promotion for this weekend at both tracks!  To donate a prize, call the track offices at 734-782-2480 or 419-727-1100 today!  Santa and his elves, as you can see, are very busy!  Our thanks to everyone who has donated prizes for the event!
