Moran has backed the Flat Rock Speedway Late Model class with sponsorship for several seasons. The dealership is located in Clinton Township, MI on Gratiot Avenue just south of Mt. Clemens. "We are very grateful to Pat Moran and Moran Chevrolet for his support of our 2 tracks," stated Ron Drager, owner and promoter. "This award will be greatly appreciated by the drivers who are competing this weekend at Toledo."
The winner of the 200 will take home $5500, with $1000 posted to start the contest on the lightning-fast ½ mile paved oval. With contingency and bonus awards, a driver could walk away with over $8000 in prize money and awards. The total cash payout for the day is over $50,000.
The CRA Sportsman cars will serve as the support division for the 200 for the first time. A field of 25-30 cars is expected for the 50 lap race, which will be sponsored by R & M Recycling of Toledo and Monroe, MI.
Race fans also have a chance to cash in on a big prize as Allegiant Air will award 2 round-trip tickets from Toledo to Florida. Fans will enter the drawing upon arrival to the track. The winner's name will be drawn out at the lap 101 break of the 200 lap contest.
