Toledo Speedway

(TOLEDO, Ohio - September 12, 2011) - A pair of rain delays prior to the start of the Sunday afternoon race card at Toledo Speedway cancelled activities for the day.  The ARCA Truck Series and ARCA R & M Recycling Street Stocks had completed their qualifying before two delays for rain stopped the action. 

Many activities were planned to pay tribute in honor of the 9-11 tragedy and those who protect and serve us here and abroad, but they, too, were washed out.

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - September 3, 2011) - With brilliant flashes of lightning and thunder and the ensuing rain on the horizon, a great effort by the Flat Rock Speedway race teams allowed 3 of the 4 Diamond Racing Products Season Championship feature events to be completed.  With the final event of the night, the Street Stock B Main Championship lined up on the track and on its pace lap, the storm arrived at the speedway, ending the night of racing.  The B Main finale will not be rescheduled.  The fireworks show that was planned will not be rescheduled.

On the track, Eric Lee (Moran Chevrolet Late Models), Tim Moore (DTS Drive Train Specialists Street Stock A Main), Jimmy Rae (Street Stock B Main) and Jeremy Vanderhoof (Parts Galore Figure 8’s) sealed up the 2011 track championships.  Feature winners were Dan Ford Jr. in the Late Models, Frank Jiovani (Street Stocks) and Dennis Whisman (Figure 8’s).  A total of 13 of the 14 events were completed, making the show a complete racing program.  No rain checks will be issued.

(TOLEDO, Ohio - September 2, 2011) - Toledo Speedway kicked off the Labor Day weekend in the Glass City with the Wendy’s Night of Destruction Friday evening.  A very large crowd filled the stands to see the mayhem and entertaining event.  Wendy greeted the fans and the Wendy’s employees and staff provided trinkets for the kids and families throughout the evening.  Wendy then presented the winners their trophies in the Sun Drop Winner’s Circle.  ...

 Josh Bunting won his first career Street Stock A division feature of the season. “Finally! Half way through the season I couldn’t figure out the car. Tried a new spring and the car came around. Thanks to my family and crew.”

With his win, Bunting, breaks the streak that Scott Selmi had going of six wins. Selmi has won every feature he’s been in since the end of June (he missed the 100-lapper that Chad Guinn won, but oddly enough Scott’s dad Jim won the B division feature so the Selmi family has won seven consecutive weeks, I never did find out if a family had that many wins in a row, if anyone knows, send me an email.).
