First I have a correction. Eric Lee’s sponsors are: Fraza Forklifts, Dusty's Collision, Exotic Automation, First Impressions Cement, ABC Plumbing, Berringer Law, Duane's Roadrunner's ... I had them wrong after the Spartan race.

Dennis Strickland won his first feature of the year. “We had worked all week trying to get the car back to where it was before the race at Spartan, up late every night. Both quarter panels were replaced as well as the front filler panel. Tina cut all the vinyl up and had it ready sitting on the counter in the garage. We have a new puppy (Missi) and you would think we would know better than to leave the vinyl UNattended. But here it was 9:30 in the morning of the race and Tina had to re-cut almost all of it. Some we put on with tooth marks and all. On the way to Flatrock, I said you know with all the bad luck we have had lately maybe we will win tonight, and we did. First time ever I won the heat race and the feature!” said Dennis in an email... His sponsors are: Canton Tree Cement, Strategy One Computers, Trenton Forging, Victory Christian Fellowship Church and Giles Auto Body.

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - May 31, 2012) - He was unquestionably the man to beat at Flat Rock Speedway.  In fact, that sentence pretty much was the statement for any track he ventured to during his years of domination in Late Model racing.  This past December on the 10^th day of 2011, the racing world lost one of the top winners in short track racing history when Joy Fair passed away at the age of 81.

...

The Buckeye Cable Sports Network (BCSN) recently did a photo shoot at Toledo Speedway for the “All-Around All-Star” photograph, featuring the top athletes from Toledo area schools. 

 

A total of  8 Toledo Speedway events will be taped and shown as part of BCSN’s Sunday Night at the Races program, which airs at 9 p.m. The local cable access system is also televising 2 events from Flat Rock Speedway in 2012.

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - May 26, 2012) - Despite nearly 3 hours of rain in the late morning and early afternoon, a nice crowd made the trip to Flat Rock Speedway for the “Level Pebble Spectacular”
Saturday night.  Danny Jackson took the 100 lap ARCA Truck Series event, Rick McColl won his first-ever 250 lap Enduro race, while a Monster Truck exhibition thrilled the fans with a donut and wheelie contest, along with a car crushing event.  The evening was capped off with a fabulous fireworks display.

 

 

 

 

The ARCA Truck Series made their annual stop at Flat Rock for a 100 lap contest.  Danny Jackson picked up the victory, backing up his win at Toledo a week earlier.  Jackson set a torrid pace and was the class of the field as he sailed to the win.  Levi Mansfield was second, Cody Quarrick third and Chris Bailey fourth, all on the lead lap.  Chad Poorman, Brad Yunker, Zac Carter, Bob Mikolajczyk, Steve Christman and Brandon Huff completed the top ten finishers.  Jackson set fast time at 12:688.

...

Mason, Michigan—May 27, 2012:  Spartan Speedway’s “Slugfest” Series, a grouping of Sunday night races, was the proper description for the ARCA Allegiant Gold Cup Late Model Series first visit to the track.  Mike Luberda claimed the Spartan 100 win and a $2000 payday for his efforts as he topped the 23 car field for the victory.

The first 16 laps ran without a hitch as Brent Jack jumped into the lead at the green flag.  And then, the proverbial wheel fell off the race.  Over a dozen yellow flags for incidents marred the event, but no one could debate the hard racing going on for position throughout the field.  Spartan’s tricky turn 4 was the location of a majority of the accidents, and that, coupled with the double-file restarts, kept the caution flag from being put away and resulting in 10 lead changes.

...

The pits are getting ready to open at Flat Rock Speedway.  We should be able to get tonight's show in.   ...

(TOLEDO, Ohio - May 25, 2012) - Friday night’s Burge Wrecking “Night of Destruction” was just that, as parts and pieces flew off the School Buses during the School Bus Figure 8 portion of the entertaining event.  Dennis “The Rebel” Whisman steered to the School Bus Figure 8 win.

Clyde McKee won his second Street Stock A division feature of the year. It is the first time in a 20-year plus career that he has won two A mains in a single season. It was his eighth career A division feature win. “I apologize, a couple weeks ago I forgot to thank everyone that helps me. And my mom and sister, I love you both. When you start on the pole you’re a little lucky, but I’ll take it,” said the driver of the S&P Guns and Ammo,Faline Trailer Repair, Trailer Connection Sales and Leasing, Leppen Chiropratic, Mac's Towing and Madco Truck Plaza #4.
