Toledo Speedway

1976---ARCA founder John Marcum and Toledo Speedway promoter put together the "Race Against Cancer" and called upon his friends at NASCAR to headline the event at Toledo Speedway.  The Grand Marshall for the race was none other than the King himself, Richard Petty.  Petty is shown here presenting the checkered flag to Wisconsin's Tom Reffner, the 4-car dash winner that night.

Joy Fair was the winner of the 100 lap Late Model race.  A host of NASCAR's top stars competed in the event, including Benny Parsons, Cale Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip and Bobby Allison.  The event raised thousands of dollars for the American Cancer Society of Toledo.
