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.

...

(Toledo, Ohio - September 6, 2013) - Recently-crowned Flat Rock Speedway champ Dennis Strickland and Coopersville, MI hotshoe Johnny VanDoorn are the first 2 entries for 25^th Anniversary  of the Great Lakes Helicopter Glass City 200 presented by Francis Engineering, Woodville Auto Finance, Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn Express, set for Saturday, September 28 at Toledo Speedway.

TOLEDO OH (3-31-08)--There's something about walking into Frenchtown Square Mall in Monroe and Westfield Franklin Park in Toledo at this time of year and seeing the freshly-painted, sharp-looking race cars on display in the concourse, signaling the fast-approaching racing seasons at Flat Rock Speedway and Toledo Speedway.

Well, maybe everyone doesn't get quite as excited as the rest of us, but fans, officials and race teams are getting ready to go as both mall shows this past weekend stirred the thoughts of burning rubber as ARCA's short tracks get ready to kick off their 2008 racing seasons. Healthy crowds visited the two venues this past weekend, while more than 75 drivers were seen roaming the malls, checking out the new paint schemes and bench racing with their fellow racers and teams as curious mall patrons checked out the cars that dotted the mall concourses.

...

SOUTHGATE MI (5-15-08)--Eric Lee might've been right in his interview after last week's win at Flat Rock Speedway. He said they found something with these new tires. For the second consecutive week, Lee won the Super Late Model feature.

FLAT ROCK, MI (6-4-08)--Flat Rock Speedway's biggest Late Model race of the season, the Moran Chevrolet 150, has now taken on an added flavor for the 2008 edition of the event. The Saturday, June 21 contest will now be known as the Moran Chevrolet/Stan Yee Memorial 150. Yee, a hugely successful car owner for over 40 years, passed away May 18, just 2 days shy of his 76th birthday.

...

SOUTHGATE MI (6-11-08)--There was two first time winners this weekend. Scott Apperson won his first Figure 8 feature and Chris Benson won his first late model race. ...

Flat Rock, MI (6-28-08)--  11:35 A.M.  Heavy rain overnight and another heavy rain at 11 a.m. this morning has forced the postponement of tonight’s racing program at Flat Rock Speedway.  The track received over 3 inches rain after midnight and coupled with another downpour this morning flooded the track, pit area and parking lot.
 
The Moran Chevrolet/Stan Yee Memorial 150 for the ARCA Late Models has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 26.  Please check the website Monday morning for more details. ...

TO FLAT ROCK/TOLEDO RACE TEAMS,

(TOLEDO, Ohio - June 14, 2013) - A huge crowd witnessed a great night of open wheel racing at the 2013 version of the All American Coach/Super Fitness/Hemelgarn Racing Fastest Short Track Show in the World Friday night at Toledo Speedway.  Hometown star Jimmy McCune flew to victory in the non-stop 40 lap MSA Super Modified feature, while Tampa, Florida native Troy DeCaire etched his name in the record books, grabbing the win in the 30 lap Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper Super Sprint (AVBBSS) main event.

Tom McGuire and his family from All American Coach and Super Fitness boss Ron Hemelgarn presented the 5 foot trophies to the winners in the Sun Drop Victory Circle.

A total of 24 Sprints and 18 Super Modifieds made the trip to Toledo for this one-of-a-kind event, created by Toledo management 13 years ago.  Zach Gibson tagged the turn 1 wall in practice when his Super Mod lost a right rear wheel, ending his night.  Earlier in Sprint car practice, 2012 race winner Jason Cox had an axle snap, sending his machine spinning into the turn 3 wall.  Both drivers took hard hits but were ok.

...

Despite a nearly 1 hour delay due to rain, a large and enthusiastic crowd ventured out to Flat Rock Speedway Saturday for the Parts Galore School Bus Figure 8 races.  Dennis Strickland captured the 50 lap ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Model feature, while Dennis Whisman took top honors in the Parts Galore Figure 8 race.

An incredibly wild and destructive night had the crowd roaring as Jeff King and the field bounced off of abandoned boats and trailers to win the Boat Figure 8 race.  After the flag, Jeff slammed his machine over the top of a boat and blasted it into pieces, again to thunderous applause and cheers.  A total of 3 buses went over on their sides in perhaps the wildest School Bus Figure 8 race in memory at "The Rock".  Ray Gaddis survived to claim the checkered flag.

Additional details will follow Monday.
