Toledo Speedway

(Toledo, Ohio - March 31, 2014): A total of 27 cars are now entered for Toledo Speedway’s Saturday, April 12 season opener, the 7-Up 150 for the ARCA/CRA Super Series powered by Jeg’s and ARCA Midwest Tour presented by Scag Power Equipment Late Models.  Race time is 3 p.m.  A rain date of Sunday, April 13 at 1 p.m. has been established if needed.

Race fans can save $5 per ticket if purchased prior to race day.  All tickets for this event are general admission seating.  Tickets may be purchased by calling the track at 419-727-1100 or by downloading the ticket order form at www.toledospeedway.com, which is located under tickets.  The form can filled out and sent electronically to the track.

Among the new entries are 2013 ARCA/CRA Champion Travis Braden, Chicago-area veteran Eddie Hoffman and rising star Ross Kenseth, the son of NASCAR champion Matt Kenseth.

Last year’s event saw a great field of 43 cars on hand at the track for the chilly opener, and with some help from Mother Nature, Toledo should be good to go April 12.  The race, the first of its kind combining the 2 sanctioning bodies as 1 group was a great accomplishment and the 2014 edition of the 7-Up 150 is expected to be another top-notch race.   The second combination race for ARCA/CRA and the ARCA Midwest Tour will be at the Illiana, IN Speedway Monday, Memorial Day, May 26.

The 7-Up 150 will also be taped by the Buckeye Cable Sports Network (BCSN) for showing on the “Sunday Night at the Races” show at 9 p.m. on the local cable access channel Sunday, April 13.  The race can also be purchased through BCSN’s video-on-demand programming at bcsn.tv/vod.html.

SPEED51.com will also provide trackside coverage live for the 7-Up 150.

The schedule calls for an optional practice Friday afternoon from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.  The pit area will open at 11 a.m.  A dinner will be served to all those who purchase pit passes on Friday at the Speedway Bar and Grille, located adjacent to Toledo Speedway.  Additional dinners for non-pit pass purchasers will be available for $10 per plate.

Saturday’s schedule has the pit area opening at 8 a.m., practice from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., qualifying at 1 p.m., with the last-chance race (if necessary) set for 3 p.m.  The on-track autograph session, driver introductions and the 7-Up 150 lap main event will follow.  The race will include a lap 76 break and will be all-green flag. 

Toledo Speedway is a high-banked, ½ mile paved oval, located on Benore Road at the I-75 Alexis Road exit on the Michigan-Ohio border.  Like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/toledoflatrock or follow us on Twitter @toledospeedway.
