A lot of things describe what you feel when you win, joy, elation, jubilation. Mike Root won the ARCA Allegiant Air Gold Cup Stan Yee Memorial 150 at Flat Rock Speedway and added a couple unusual reactions, such as baffled, dumfounded and mystified. Root was nearly lapped earlier in the race, only to come on late in the event to win his second Gold Cup feature ... the 150-lap feature a couple years ago. The largest Gold Cup field this season, 34 Super Late Models, were on hand.

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - August 4, 2012) - For the first time since April 28, rain fell on a Saturday at Flat Rock Speedway.  But a great effort by the race teams and track officials kept things moving along and allowed the Glass Unlimited Night to be nearly complete, as the Figure 8 feature was called after 14 of the 20 laps.  Paul Pelletier, Rich Frantz and Billy Earley captured the wins.  Walter Krause of Glass Unlimited presented the trophies and bonus money to the winning trio.

The clouds started to roll in around the 4 p.m. practice start and continued to build as approaching storms just missed the track.  At 6:45, 15 minutes before start time, a heavy 10 minute downpour caused a delay, pushing the race card back to a 7:30 p.m. start.  The race teams were ready and kept the race card moving through the heats and features.

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - September 15, 2012) - The largest crowd in several years ventured to Flat Rock Speedway Saturday night for the Griller’s Select BBQ Sauce School Bus Figure 8 races.  The final race of the season saw standing-room only at the track, and the fans were treated to a spectacular evening of entertainment.  Costa Cardasis and his Griller’s Select staff presented trophies in victory lane ceremonies as well as a case of bbq sauce to each feature winner.

The headliner School Bus Figure 8 race was wild!  3 buses got knocked over on their sides as the gigantic crowd roared each time.  And, each time the bus was rolled back on all 4 wheels and the drivers jumped back in and re-joined the action!  Stephanie Bradley thrilled the crowd early in the contest as she went over, thanks to Dennis Whisman’s help!  She jumped back in the bus and took off as the race resumed.  Danny Gaddis was next to go over as Billy Earley slammed into Danny at the intersection.  Next up was Danny’s father, Ray, as Ray got tagged going into the turn and went over.  Thinking his day was done, Ray went up into the grandstands, but found out his bus re-started.  Ray, the leader at the time, got back in the seat and kept the lead for the win over Earley, Robbie Loving, Danny Gaddis, Bradley, Whisman, and Gary Majchrzak.  Bus sponsors were Suburban Oil, Griller’s Select BBQ Sauce, Parts Galore, Sportway Go-Karts and Batting Cages, Southern Belles Roller Derby Team, Sterling Printing and Graphics and Glass Unlimited.

Toledo, Ohio—September 29, 2012:  Coopersville, MI driver Johnny VanDoorn led a very fast practice session Friday afternoon for tomorrow’s 24^th running of the Great Lakes Helicopter Glass City 200 at Toledo Speedway.  VanDoorn clicked off a lap of 14:828 in preparation for the big race.  A total of 29 cars took practice laps for the outlaw Late Models.  Several Sportsman Cars and X Cars also took part in the 2 hour practice, held in brilliant sunshine with blue skies.  The practice session was uneventful as teams worked away at getting quicker each session.

The top 10 in practice were VanDoorn, JR Roahrig, Steve Needles, Brent Jack, Terry Senneker, Dakota Carlson, Brad Rogers, Jack Varney Jr., Harold Fair Jr. and Johnny Belott.  For a list of practice times, go to www.toledospeedway or www.arcaracing.com, scroll down and click on the Glass City 200 icon.
