...POWERFUL STORM WIPES OUT JOY FAIR MEMORIAL 100
Saturday's Diamond Racing Products Joy Fair Memorial 100 at Flat Rock Speedway was cancelled when a powerful thunderstorm ripped through the grounds at 4 p.m.
Rougly 4 to 5 inches of rain fell in less than 90 minutes, flooding the track infield, pit area and parking lot. The deluge was accompanied by high winds that knocked down several large billboards, splintered tree limbs and moved anything not anchored down. Lightning struck the track scoreboard, a transformer on the north edge of the property and in the pit area.
The incredible force of Mother Nature was not a pretty sight as a full pit area took cover when the weather cell took a turn from the south and came directly at the track, then turned again and went directly westward.
A incredible field of 36 Late Models were at the track for the event. The Diamond Racing Products Joy Fair Memorial 100 will now become part of the track's 60th Anniversary show Saturday, July 6.
More details will follow soon.

DANNY BYRD MAKES HISTORY IN 1972 GLASS CITY 200
In 1968, Toledo Speedway promoter and ARCA founder John Marcum came up with the idea of running a 200 lap Late Model invitational—the Glass City 200. Despite a 20-year hiatus of the race from 1978-1998 (when the Toledo track was sold), the race was revived in 1999 when Marcum’s grandson, Ron Drager, purchased the track with business partner Roy Mott.
And the race still carries the prestige and notoriety that it once did back in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
In 1972, things finally came together for Danny Byrd at the Glass City 200…..
