(FLAT
ROCK, Michigan - May 26, 2012) - Despite
nearly 3 hours of rain in the late morning and early afternoon, a nice crowd
made the trip to Flat Rock Speedway for the “Level Pebble Spectacular”
Saturday night. Danny Jackson took the
100 lap ARCA Truck Series event, Rick McColl won his first-ever 250 lap Enduro
race, while a Monster Truck exhibition thrilled the fans with a donut and
wheelie contest, along with a car crushing event. The evening was capped off with a fabulous
fireworks display.
The ARCA Truck Series made their annual stop at Flat Rock for a 100 lap contest. Danny Jackson picked up the victory, backing up his win at Toledo a week earlier. Jackson set a torrid pace and was the class of the field as he sailed to the win. Levi Mansfield was second, Cody Quarrick third and Chris Bailey fourth, all on the lead lap. Chad Poorman, Brad Yunker, Zac Carter, Bob Mikolajczyk, Steve Christman and Brandon Huff completed the top ten finishers. Jackson set fast time at 12:688.

first of 4 such events at the track this season. 2-time Enduro champ Jeff Maran was the early
leader with challengers Rick McColl and Rayce Metdepenningen also up
front. McColl, who entered Enduro
competition just 2 years ago, got by Maran, drove a steady race and came home
with his first-ever victory and a $1000 payday.

Jeff, drove to the 2011 Enduro championship.
