Ridgeville, OH), Jon Henes (LaGrange, OH), AJ Liesecki (Lorain, OH), veteran Jack Smith (Sandusky, OH), Jim Paller (Amherst, OH), Jeff Gibson (Sandusky) and Mark Miller (Sandusky, OH). The MSA Supers will practice, qualify, run heat races and a 40 lap feature event at Flat Rock.

noted Ron Drager, owner and promoter of the track. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had Super
Modified racing here, and we are looking forward to August 11. Our race fans are in for another night of
excitement and entertainment,” added Drager.
