FORECAST IS WRONG----FLAT ROCK COMPLETES SATURDAY SHOW!
(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - June 1, 2013) - Well, the forecast for rain was at 80%, pretty much a sure bet for a Saturday washout. With no rain falling, the decision was made to go ahead with the Glass Unlimited Autograph Night at Flat Rock Speedway. Albeit a few sprinkles, the show was completed and Eric Lee, Tadek Stadniczuk, Dennis Whisman and David Price captured the feature wins. Walter Krause of Glass Unlimited presented the trophies in the Sun Drop Winner’s Circle. A fabulous rendition of both the Canadian and National Anthems by the Barbershop Quartet “The Party” kicked off the Saturday night action.

NESTER-DeLISLE JR.-O’LEARY TOP TOLEDO MEIJER NIGHT AT THE RACES ACTION
(TOLEDO, Ohio - August 2, 2013) - An early afternoon rain stopped just before the pit area opened, allowing for Toledo Speedway’s Meijer Night at the Races to take place. Brian Nester took the Top Speed Modified Tour race, while Kyle DeLisle Jr. was the victor in the ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman feature. Tommy O’Leary captured the Road Course race as all 3 winners visited the Sun Drop Winner’s Circle.
The Top Speed Modified Tour made their initial stop at Toledo, with Brian Nester claiming the win in the 40 lap main event. The first 13 laps saw the trio of leader Jonathan Martin, Nester and Trevor Berry run under a blanket. They diced back and forth until Berry had an engine let go, bringing out the yellow flag on lap 13. On the restart, Martin looped his machine, giving Nester the point and Brian took off as the race went green the rest of the way. Nester took the win as he sailed to victory over Tim Burkett, Josh Weyher, Damon Breedlove, Greg Fuller, Dave Christiansen, Brad Wyatt, Martin, Mark Bott, Norm Taylor, Kenny Phillips, Ralph Baxter, Tommy O’Leary, Berry and Jim Resnew. Berry set fast time at 16:689 for the 15 car field and won the fast heat. Weyher captured the other heat win.
LaSalle, Ontario driver Kyle DeLisle picked up victory number 2 of the season, scoring the win in the 35 lap ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman feature. Ron Allen led the first 8 laps until Howard Kelley Jr. motored by on the outside for the lead on lap 9. On lap 11, the yellow appeared when Greg Stilwell and Kent McCloskey tangled. Allen dropped out with a flat tire at that point and on the restart, DeLisle, running second, got to the front and took control of the race, which went green for the final 24 laps. DeLisle withstood Kelley’s charge to take the win, with Mike Young third, Jim Froling fourth and Norm Lewallen fifth, followed by Kenny McKay Jr., Andy Harding, Jeff Myers Jr., David Frantz, Dan Grigsby, Rich Abel, Allen, Stilwell and McCloskey. Allen and McKay Jr. were the heat race winners, as McKay Jr. nipped Myers Jr. by inches to win that heat race. Young set fast time at 17:386 for the 14 car field.

SENNEKER MAKES IT 2 IN ROW IN 1971 GLASS CITY 200; CONTROVERSY MARKS THE DAY!
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.
Today, we look at 1971…a great field of cars and a big controversy highlighted the event, but did not keep Bob Senneker from making it 2 wins in a row at the 200…….as he posed with the trophy.
