Flat Rock, Michigan-July 23, 2011:  A pair of heavy rain showers finally put an end to the Glass Unlimited-sponsored night of racing Saturday at Flat Rock Speedway.  The first downpour came after qualifying was completed and pushed back the start of the program 30 minutes.  With the Late Model feature on the track and 4 laps complete, down came a heavy rain once again, washing out the remainder of the show.

 

All rain checks will be honored for any remaining event on the 2011 Flat Rock schedule at its face value.  Rain checks must be exchanged at the ticket office upon arrival to the track.  If there is a difference in price between the rain check and the admission amount for the race selected, the difference will be charged.

...

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - August 1, 2011) - In 1981, a group called the IRA Super Modifieds visited Flat Rock Speedway’s ¼ mile paved oval.  And now, after a 30 year absence, the Midwest Super Modified (MSA) Association will invade “The Rock” for their first-ever appearance.  The slow-slung, winged creations will shoot to break the absolute track record Saturday, August 20.

Race fans will also have the opportunity to meet NASCAR driver David Ragan, the winner of the July NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Daytona International Speedway and the pole sitter for last weekend’s Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  Ragan is in the area for the NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway, where he will pilot car owner Jack Roush’s #6 Ford.

For many of the MSA Super Modified drivers and teams, this will be their first trip to the lightning-fast, 2-groove bowl.  Current point leader Trent Stephens, Lou Cicconi, Charlie Schultz, veteran Bobby Dawson and Tim Ice are all set for this big event.  Canadian hot shoe Mike Lichty is also expected to be at Flat Rock.
