Toledo Speedway

(TOLEDO, Ohio - May 16, 2012) - Frank Kimmel, driver of the No. 44 Ansell/Menards Toyota, will greet ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards fans at two Menards stores near Toledo Speedway to drop the green flag on his Menards 200 presented by Federated Car Care weekend.

Kimmel will sign autographs, pose for pictures, and even offer a special promotion to store customers at the Oregon store - located at 3100 Brown Rd., several miles southeast of the track - and the North Toledo store - located at 1415 E. Alexis Rd., across the street from the track. 

Kimmel will appear at the Oregon location from 4-5:30 p.m. Friday, and the North Toledo store from 6:30-8 the same night. Store visitors can take advantage of a special promotion, simply by purchasing a pair of Ansell gloves inside either store. Those purchasing Ansell gloves inside Menards will receive a voucher for a free second pair of gloves, personally given by Kimmel outside the store. 

The No. 44 Toyota will be on display at both stores while Kimmel is present. 

"I have a great time visiting with the shoppers and Menards employees," Kimmel said. "I think the people who come by really enjoy getting to see a real race car and we even let the kids sit inside of it. We'll also give you a pair of Ansell Gloves free if you purchase another pair inside the Menards store. I have two great sponsors in Ansell and Menards, so it would mean the world to me to get them in Victory Lane this weekend."

Tickets still remain for the Menards 200 presented by Federated Car Care at Toledo Speedway, and are on sale at the track office or at any of the three Toledo-area Menards stores or stores in Defiance, Findlay, and Sandusky.
