Flat Rock, Michigan—May 4, 2013:  It was another gorgeous Saturday night for racing at Flat Rock Speedway.  Eric Lee pulled into the Sun Drop victory lane in the 50 lap ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Model feature, Scott Selmi got the victory in the 25 lap ARCA DTS Drive Train Specialists Street Stock contest, while Greg Studt was the winner of the 20 lap ARCA Parts Galore Figure 8 race.

In the 50 lap Moran Chevrolet Late Model feature, Derek Wiley set fast time in qualifying with an 11.828.  Wiley rolled a 7 for the inversion, putting Paul Pelletier and Scott Pemberton on the front row.  Just 2 yellow flags slowed the action.  Pelletier zipped into the lead, but a lap 3 caution for Steve Cronenwett Jr. and Scott Pemberton bunched the field.  Lee moved to the outside lane in the double-file restart and took command as the race went back to green flag action.  Eric held a slight lead over Dennis Strickland the rest of the distance to clinch the victory.  Strickland held on to second, Cronenwett Jr. was strong, coming from the back and making up a bunch of ground to finish third, while Stan Yee Jr. got by rookie Frank Jiovani on the final lap to take fourth spot.  Joe Hawes, Pemberton, Wiley, Jeff Plumb and Jim Alvis rounded out the top ten.   Defending champ Pelletier dropped out of the race in the early stages.  Cronenwett Jr. and Alvis captured the heat race events.

(TOLEDO, Ohio - May 3, 2013) - Toledo Speedway kicked off its weekly Friday night race cards with Jim Froling, Robbie Loving, Tom O’Leary IV and David Katafiasz capturing feature wins on a cool yet comfortable night at the Glass City oval. 

The 35 lap ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman feature started with Howard Kelley Jr. taking the lead early in the contest.  Jim Froling charged up on the outside lane of Kelley and the duo ran door to door until they touched, sending the pair into a wild spin down the front straight in front of the rest of the pack.  Everyone avoided contact, Kelley accepted responsibility and that put Froling back into the lead.  Jim stayed in front the rest of the way despite pressure from defending champ Ron Allen for the rest of the distance.  Mike Young got by Kyle DeLisle in the late stages to take third, DeLisle came home fourth and Kenny McKay Jr. took the fifth spot, followed by Kelley Jr., Norm Lewallen, Kent McCloskey, Dan Grigsby and David Frantz.  Allen set fast time at 17:033, with the heat race wins going to DeLisle and Kelley Jr.
