When you look at the list of winners of the Glass City 200, it’s very, very impressive.  When you think about the drivers that have not won the race and have tried for many years, well, that’s why this race holds the prestige and history in short track Late Model racing.  It’s a quest for many drivers, and, for most of the winners, it was “my biggest win”.  That’s been said over and over.

No one expected to see a driver from Alabama show up to run the Glass City 200.  The southern states pretty much don’t run outlaw-bodied Late Models, but 2-time Snowball Derby winner Augie Grill became an instant success at Toledo Speedway in 2011.  Grill, teaming with Canadian Jerry Artuso, was a surprise entrant and promptly showed his skills by sailing to the victory on an extremely bitter cold Saturday night.

Toledo, Ohio—April 30, 2013:  Tonight’s practice session at Toledo Speedway is now complete, as the speedway and its race teams prepare for the first Friday night race of the new season this Friday, May 3.  The practice was originally scheduled for Sunday, but rain washed the day out.

Both the ½ mile paved oval and the ¼ mile oval got a workout Tuesday night.  Several ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman cars took laps, as well as a host of ARCA Late Models, preparing for their first race at Toledo May 10.  An ARCA Truck, Modifieds, ARCA Parts Galore Figure 8’s, ARCA 4 Cylinders and several of the new-division X Cars were at the track preparing for the 2013 season.

This Friday’s race card has the Sportsman, Figure 8’s, the ARCA 4 Cylinders and the R & M Recycling X Cars on the schedule.  The pit area will open at 3:30, practice begins at 5 p.m., time trials are set for 6:15 and racing gets the green flag at 7:30 p.m.  The spectator gates will open at 5.

The second Friday night show on May 10 will see the ARCA Glass City Gold Cup Late Models in town for the Hollywood Casino 100. Drivers from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Canada are expected for race number 1 of the 6 race series, which will see 100 laps of green flag racing.  The ARCA Sportsman cars and the X Cars will also be in action.

Parking is free on the grounds of the track.  Toledo Speedway features the best concession prices and entertainment value in the Toledo area every Friday night throughout the summer.

Toledo Speedway is located on Benore Road at the I-75/Alexis Road exit (behind Meijer store).  The track phone number is 419-727-1100.  Log onto www.toledospeedway.com for further information, or like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/toledoflatrock or follow us on Twitter @toledospeedway.

This year’ shows will be held in the track paved parking lot area directly off Benore Road.  The Speedway Bar and Grille bar and kitchen will be in full operation during the car shows throughout the entire season.
