PRACTICE TODAY AT FLAT ROCK AS TEAMS PREPARE FOR MORAN CHEVROLET STAN YEE MEMORIAL 150
FLAT ROCK, MI: (7-25-12): An open practice is scheduled for today, Wednesday, July 25 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. as teams prepare for Saturday’s Moran Chevrolet/Stan Yee Memorial 150 at Flat Rock Speedway. The pit area opens at 4 p.m. The practice is open to any type of race car.
The 4 hour practice session is expected to be busy as nearly 30 ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Models have entered the race, which honors the memory of Stan Yee Sr., who owned Late Models for over 40 years. Stan passed away in May of 2008. His famous #33 cars won numerous big events and championships throughout his career, including the 2003 Flat Rock Late Model crown with his son, Stan Jr.
The event, recognized as one of the top outlaw Late Model events in the area, is expected to draw over 30 entries and will pay $2533 to win and $533 to start the contest.
Flat Rock’s Parts Galore Figure 8 and DTS Drive Train Specialists Street Stock classes will also be in competition as support divisions. Each class will run features only on this night.
In addition to the $2533 posted to win, Diamond Racing Products has posted $333 for fast time, in addition to a $100 gift certificate courtesy of Fastime Racing Engines and Parts of Wyandotte. Add to that $5 in lap money per lap, and a driver could walk away with nearly $3500 in cash and prizes for a victory.
Stan Yee Memorial 150 T-shirts will be available at the Flat Rock Speedway souvenir stand on race night.
The race is being taped by the Buckeye Cable Sports Network (BCSN) and will be shown as part of the “Sunday Night at the Races” show July 29 at 9 p.m. on the Toledo-area local cable access sports channel.
