ARCA memberships, tires and fuel will be available at practice. In the event of weather issues, we will at the very least tech cars and sell the above-mentioned items.  You may check the website at www.flatrockspeedway.com for weather updates.

Wednesday, April 24 we will hold another practice from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.  The pits open at 4 p.m.

The track is in good shape, most of the new poles and catch fence in turns 3-4 are up, about 25 foot of the concrete wall in turn 2 has been replaced and we are making progress despite the crazy weather of the past 3-4 weeks.

Saturday, April 27 is the Jet’s Pizza Season Opener!  Pits will open at 1:30, practice at 3, time trials at 5 and racing at 7 p.m.  We will not wait for you to get through tech on opening night.  Please get to one of the practices, go through tech, get some laps and you will be ready!

**Our gate times may change after a few weeks of racing, depending on car counts, much like we did last season.

See you Saturday!

Flat Rock Speedway will begin its 60th Anniversary season Saturday, April 27 with the Jet’s Pizza Season Opener, featuring the ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Models, Parts Galore Figure 8’s and DTS Drive Train Specialists Street Stocks.

(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.

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.
