(TOLEDO,
Ohio - September 28, 2013) - Carleton,
MI driver Dennis Strickland pulled off a stunning victory in the 25th
Anniversary of the Great Lakes Helicopter Glass City 200 Saturday night at
Toledo Speedway, in front of a large crowd on a beautiful September
evening. The race, presented by Francis
Engineering, Woodville Auto Finance, Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn Express, was
wild and full of action and excitement, despite a long, long 101 lap segment
due to numerous yellow flags and a pair of red flags. The Great Lakes Helicopter “Kids” presented
Dennis with a huge Silver Cup for his victory.
1969 and 1973 Glass City 200 winner Joe Ruttman served as
Grand Marshal of the event and received an ARCA lifetime membership Gold Card
in pre-race ceremonies from ARCA President and Toledo promoter Ron Drager.
Strickland, Flat Rock Speedway’s 2013 champion, the 7th different leader of the 200
lap event, was met by a huge ovation in an emotional and celebratory Sun Drop Winner’s
Circle. Dennis becomes the first “local”
driver to capture this prestigious event since Ed Cooper’s win in 1976.
