"Fastest Short Track Show in the World" on the Way to Toledo Speedway Friday, June 11
(TOLEDO, Ohio - June 3, 2010) - Second-generation drivers "Liquid" Lou Cicconi Jr. , Dave "Shoe 2" Shullick Jr. and Toledo track record holder Jason Blonde lead the pre-entry lists for Toledo Speedway's annual All American Coach/Qualite Sports Lighting "Fastest Short Track Show in the World" featuring the open-wheel doubleheader of the Midwest Super Modified (MSA)Oswego Winged Challenge Series and the Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper (AVBBSS) Super Sprint Cars, set for Friday, June 11.
Cicconi is a former winner in an ISMA Super Mod event at Toledo several years ago, and Lou also won the ISMA season opener at the Albany-Saratoga Speedway in New York state in May. Cicconi also added the MSA Super Mod win at Lorain County Speedway to begin their 2010 season.
Shullick Jr. is no stranger to Toledo and its incredible speed on the big ½ mile paved oval. The son of Dave Shullick will wheel legendary car owner Clyde Booth's famed number 61 at Toledo for this prestigious event. Former Toledo MSA winners Charlie Schultz and Jon Henes are also entered, along with 1990-91 Toledo Super Late Model champ Tim "The Iceman" Ice. 4-time MSA champion Tim Jedrzejek is also considered a threat to win at the Glass City oval. Tim has been in contention in several events at the track, but has never been able to pull off the big win at Toledo. The New York contingent is led by veteran Joe Gosek as the MSA/Oswego Winged Challenge Super Modified Series ventures to Toledo for its initial appearance at the track.
His name is Jason Blonde. IF you made it to last year's edition of this race, you know who Jason Blonde is. The Litchfield, MI driver set the racing world on its ear in 2009 at Toledo with an incredible, hold-your breath lap of 12:744, wiping out Cameron Dodson's mark which had stood since 2006. Jason is back and ready for another shot at the record at Toledo. A strong Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper Super Sprint pre-entry list includes local favorite Jimmy McCune, Dave Baumgartner, ageless Hank Lower, veteran Jeff Bloom and former record holder Kevin Feeney, one of the first Sprint Car drivers to get in the 12 second bracket at Toledo.
"We are very excited about this event," noted Scott Schultz, General Manager of the track. "It's the Fastest Short Track Show in the World....we think that says it all. If you are a race fan, whether open-wheel or stock car, you have to appreciate the sheer speed and the excitement that this event has created over the years, " added Schultz. "The 2009 event was incredible, and we believe we have the makings for a great event June 11."
