I have one more column, the champions. If you haven't sent me something on your season, send me something next week to the email at the end of the article.

Augie Grill won the 23rd annual Glass City 200 sponsored by Great Lakes Helicopters Saturday night at Toledo Speedway. He led 175 laps enroute to the victory and a total of $7,850 ($5,500 for the win, $1,750 lap money, $200 halfway and $400 from Francis Engineering). The phrase “on rails” comes to mind for his dominating run. What makes it all the more amazing is he had never raced at Toledo before (although he said it reminded him of Five Flag Speedway in Pensacola, Fla.), let alone run an outlaw late model (he normally drives a template bodied Late Model).

...

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - October 8, 2011) - Jeff Metdpenningen staged another classic battle with Jeff Maran for much of the event and zipped to victory in the 300 lap Enduro Championship race Saturday night at Flat Rock Speedway.  Jeff’s win was worth $1100 and also secured his first Enduro Series title at “The Rock”.

...

Toledo, Ohio—October 7, 2011:  Former NASCAR Truck Series champion Jack Sprague will wheel a car owned by Mark Beard in next Sunday’s ARCA Racing Series (ARS) presented by Menards Federated Car Care 200 at Toledo Speedway.  The entry was confirmed today while the Beard Oil team prepares for a race tonight at the Kansas Speedway.  The Toledo race is part of National Championship Weekend, set for Saturday and Sunday, October 15-16.

 

The Toledo event is the final race for the ARS Series for the 2011 season.  Sprague, a native of Spring Lake, MI will drive a car for fellow Wolverine resident Mark Beard of Mt. Pleasant, MI.  Beard is no stranger to Toledo Speedway, having competed many times at the fast, ½ mile paved oval in an ARCA Late Model in the 1970’s.  The Beard Oil team has Clay Rogers in the driver’s seat for the Kansas race tonight.

(TOLEDO, Ohio - October 1, 2011) - A pair of Snowball Derby wins, numerous big event victories and championships and now a Glass City 200 title.  Birmingham, AL driver Augie Grill added that crown to his impressive resume by winning Saturday night’s Great Lakes Helicopters Glass City 200 at Toledo Speedway in front of a good crowd on a very cold and windy evening.  Grill’s victory was worth $7,850 out of a purse of over $57,000 in cash and awards.

...

It's chilly and windy, but everything is on schedule for today's Great Lakes Helicopters Glass City 200 at Toledo Speedway.  A total of 34 Late Models were on the grounds Friday, and several more cars have already arrived this morning.

Practice is scheduled to begin at noon, qualifying for the PASSTIME $500 Fast Qualifier Award starts at 3 and racing begins at 5 p.m.  The track's Sportsman, Street Stock and Figure 8 divisions will run features prior to the green flag for the 23rd edition of the Great Lakes Helicopters Glass City 200.

 

 

 

...

(TOLEDO, Ohio - September 30, 2011) - Defending race winner Harold Fair Jr. led a great field of cars with a lap of 15:089 in practice Friday night for the 23^rd running of Saturday’s Great Lakes Helicopters Glass City 200 at Toledo Speedway, set to take place Saturday.

...

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.
