I have one more column, the champions. If you haven't sent me something on your season, send me something next week to the email at the end of the article.

Augie Grill won the 23rd annual Glass City 200 sponsored by Great Lakes Helicopters Saturday night at Toledo Speedway. He led 175 laps enroute to the victory and a total of $7,850 ($5,500 for the win, $1,750 lap money, $200 halfway and $400 from Francis Engineering). The phrase “on rails” comes to mind for his dominating run. What makes it all the more amazing is he had never raced at Toledo before (although he said it reminded him of Five Flag Speedway in Pensacola, Fla.), let alone run an outlaw late model (he normally drives a template bodied Late Model).

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - October 8, 2011) - Jeff Metdpenningen staged another classic battle with Jeff Maran for much of the event and zipped to victory in the 300 lap Enduro Championship race Saturday night at Flat Rock Speedway.  Jeff’s win was worth $1100 and also secured his first Enduro Series title at “The Rock”.

Toledo, Ohio—October 7, 2011:  Former NASCAR Truck Series champion Jack Sprague will wheel a car owned by Mark Beard in next Sunday’s ARCA Racing Series (ARS) presented by Menards Federated Car Care 200 at Toledo Speedway.  The entry was confirmed today while the Beard Oil team prepares for a race tonight at the Kansas Speedway.  The Toledo race is part of National Championship Weekend, set for Saturday and Sunday, October 15-16.

The Toledo event is the final race for the ARS Series for the 2011 season.  Sprague, a native of Spring Lake, MI will drive a car for fellow Wolverine resident Mark Beard of Mt. Pleasant, MI.  Beard is no stranger to Toledo Speedway, having competed many times at the fast, ½ mile paved oval in an ARCA Late Model in the 1970’s.  The Beard Oil team has Clay Rogers in the driver’s seat for the Kansas race tonight.

(TOLEDO, Ohio - October 1, 2011) - A pair of Snowball Derby wins, numerous big event victories and championships and now a Glass City 200 title.  Birmingham, AL driver Augie Grill added that crown to his impressive resume by winning Saturday night’s Great Lakes Helicopters Glass City 200 at Toledo Speedway in front of a good crowd on a very cold and windy evening.  Grill’s victory was worth $7,850 out of a purse of over $57,000 in cash and awards.

It's chilly and windy, but everything is on schedule for today's Great Lakes Helicopters Glass City 200 at Toledo Speedway.  A total of 34 Late Models were on the grounds Friday, and several more cars have already arrived this morning.
