FLAT ROCK, MI: (7-30-13):  With Mother Nature’s unwanted assistance, Flat Rock Speedway has had to alter its scheduling after several rainouts in the past weeks.  Saturday, August 10, the Joy Fair Memorial and the Stan Yee Memorial will be combined into 1 race, for 150 laps.  Diamond Racing Products and Moran Chevrolet will sponsor the biggest race of the season.

“We have simply run out of dates,” noted Ron Drager, owner-promoter of the track.  “After 2 postponements of the Joy Fair Memorial and now the rainout of the Stan Yee Memorial last Saturday, our options have dwindled,” added Drager.  “We will now honor the memory of Joy Fair and Stan Yee for the August 10 race, which will be 150 laps.”

The pit pass prices and front gate prices will remain the same as they were for the 150 lap event that was scheduled for July 27.  The event will pay $2533 to win and $533 to start the contest, with over 30 drivers from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Canada expected.  The lap money will rise to $10 per lap, as the laps have sponsors for each of the 2 races.  That will now be combined to move the amount to $10 per lap.  In addition, several laps have additional bonus money attached.

Diamond Racing Products has posted $333 for fast time, in honor of Yee’s famous car number, #33. 

...

Qualifying is up next at Toledo Speedway for Meijer Night at the Races!  The Top Speed Modified Tour is up first for time trials, followed by the ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman division on the 1/2 mile.

The night will be capped off with a 25 lap Road Course race, which uses parts of the 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile and pit road!  

It's overcast but nice and cool...a great night to be entertained at Toledo Speedway!  Racing begins at 7:30.  

 

 

 

 

...

(TOLEDO, Ohio - August 2, 2013) - An early afternoon rain stopped just before the pit area opened, allowing for Toledo Speedway’s Meijer Night at the Races to take place.  Brian Nester took the Top Speed Modified Tour race, while Kyle DeLisle Jr. was the victor in the ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman feature.  Tommy O’Leary captured the Road Course race as all 3 winners visited the Sun Drop Winner’s Circle.

The Top Speed Modified Tour made their initial stop at Toledo, with Brian Nester claiming the win in the 40 lap main event.  The first 13 laps saw the trio of leader Jonathan Martin, Nester and Trevor Berry run under a blanket.  They diced back and forth until Berry had an engine let go, bringing out the yellow flag on lap 13.  On the restart, Martin looped his machine, giving Nester the point and Brian took off as the race went green the rest of the way.  Nester took the win as he sailed to victory over Tim Burkett, Josh Weyher, Damon Breedlove, Greg Fuller, Dave Christiansen, Brad Wyatt, Martin, Mark Bott, Norm Taylor, Kenny Phillips, Ralph Baxter, Tommy O’Leary, Berry and Jim Resnew.  Berry set fast time at 16:689 for the 15 car field and won the fast heat.  Weyher captured the other heat win.

LaSalle, Ontario driver Kyle DeLisle picked up victory number 2 of the season, scoring the win in the 35 lap ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman feature.  Ron Allen led the first 8 laps until Howard Kelley Jr. motored by on the outside for the lead on lap 9.  On lap 11, the yellow appeared when Greg Stilwell and Kent McCloskey tangled.  Allen dropped out with a flat tire at that point and on the restart, DeLisle, running second, got to the front and took control of the race, which went green for the final 24 laps.  DeLisle withstood Kelley’s charge to take the win, with Mike Young third, Jim Froling fourth and Norm Lewallen fifth, followed by Kenny McKay Jr., Andy Harding, Jeff Myers Jr., David Frantz, Dan Grigsby, Rich Abel, Allen, Stilwell and McCloskey.  Allen and McKay Jr. were the heat race winners, as McKay Jr. nipped Myers Jr. by inches to win that heat race.  Young set fast time at 17:386 for the 14 car field.

...

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - August 3, 2013) - Sunshine and clear skies finally returned to Flat Rock Speedway for a Saturday night of racing, featuring a last-lap pass by Rob Moore for the win and a great battle to the finish in the 250 lap Enduro race, with Rayce Metdepennigen awarded the win.    David Price grabbed the 4 Cylinder win.  All 3 drivers took their cars to the Sun Drop Victory Lane.

The 25 lap ARCA DTS Street Stock feature race was accident-filled, including a complete restart of the race when front row starters Clyde McKee and Corey Duane tangled, collecting Tim Moore and a host of other cars.  When the race went back to green flag, McKee darted out front with the lead.  Through several yellow flags, Clyde kept the point but with 2 laps to go, the yellow appeared again, bunching the field for another double-file restart.  After a couple of tries, the green was displayed.  Rob Moore was in second spot and as the cars came to the white flag, McKee slid up the track, Moore slid back under and nosed into the lead as the checkered flag appeared, giving Moore the edge for the exciting victory.  Kyle Worley was also able to get by McKee at the stripe to take second, McKee was third, Landon Schuster fourth and Craig Lange fifth, followed by Guy Fire, Danny Bennett, Steve Searles, Scot Bunge and Scott Selmi.

(TOLEDO, Ohio - August 6, 2013) - It’s not too soon to start thinking about booking rooms for the Silver Anniversary of Toledo Speedway’s Great Lakes Helicopter Glass City 200, set for Saturday, September 28.  The 200 lap classic for outlaw-bodied Late Models will celebrate the milestone with a variety of events for fans and racers alike.

...

A special THURSDAY NIGHT race (instead of Friday) is set for tomorrow, Thursday, August 8 at Toledo Speedway to kick off 4 days of activity at the Glass City entertainment facility.  It’s ALL 8 Night, with just $8 admission for adults! 

And it’s Kids Night, too!  All kids to age 14 are FREE and will receive a FREE hot dog, chips and a drink, courtesy of Sherwood Foods, Jim’s Butcher Shop, Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group, Herr’s Potato Chips and Schwebel Baking Company.  This is ONLY at Toledo Speedway!!!!

...

Saturday, August 10 is the date for the rescheduled Joy Fair Memorial-Stan Yee Memorial 150, sponsored by Moran Chevrolet and Diamond Racing Products.  The ARCA Glass City Gold Cup Late Model Series race will go 150 all-green flag laps for the biggest race of the season at the track.  The ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman division will make its second visit to Flat Rock and compete in a 50 lap feature, while the Parts Galore Figure 8 division will stage a 20 lap feature on the Figure 8 track.

...

(TOLEDO, OHIO - August 8, 2013) - Toledo Speedway played host to a special Thursday night show, featuring all activities on the Figure 8 track!  The All 8 Night featured $8 admission for adults and kids to 14 were admitted free.  Each child also received a free hot dog, chips and a drink, courtesy of Sherwood Foods, Jim’s Butcher Shop, Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group, Herr’s Potato Chips and Schwebel Baking Company.  A good crowd turned out for the night of family entertainment and fun.

The Figure 8's and Sportsman are arriving now.  And it looks like no rain!

It's the biggest show of the season--see you tonight!

...

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - August 10, 2013) - Phil Bozell, making his first-ever start at Flat Rock Speedway, nosed by Harold Fair Jr. with 10 laps to go, setting up another incredible finish as 4 cars resembling a 4 car dash battled to the wire in the Joy Fair Memorial-Stan Yee Memorial 150, sponsored by Moran Chevrolet and Diamond Racing Products.  Bozell had enough to nip Terry
Senneker, Fair Jr. and Dennis Strickland to win the event, which saw the first 83 laps run without a yellow flag.

As was the case in the 2012 edition of this race, which saw Mike Root pass 2 cars on the high side in the closing laps, this story cannot properly describe this 150 lap classic.  It’s very simple—ask anyone that witnessed this race, which was leg number 5 of the Glass City Gold Cup Series.

Members of the Fair and Yee family presented the Gold Cups and trophy to Phil in the Sun Drop Winners Circle.  A large crowd turned out to fill the Joy Fair Grandstand and witnessed tremendous competition, as 42 cars were on hand for the prestigious race, which has become one of the “can’t miss” Late Model races in the area.

The Fair Memorial, which was originally scheduled for 100 laps, was rained out June 22 and again July 6.  The Yee Memorial fell victim to rain July 27, and with the 2013 schedule winding down, the 2 Memorial events were reset and combined into 1 race for Saturday, honoring Joy Fair and Stan Yee Sr.

Bob Ward of Romulus, MI passed away last evening after being hospitalized earlier in the week.  Bob was 78 years old.  He was affectionately known as “Grumpy” by all his friends.

A car owner for over 40 years, Bob fielded Late Models for many, many drivers, which carried his # 6.  He was a superb fabricator and worked on race cars out of his shop at his home.  Despite being confined to a wheelchair in the past years, Bob never stopped helping racers and was a fixture at both Flat Rock and Toledo Speedways.

He is survived by his wife, Lela, son Jim and daughters Linda and Elizabeth.  He was preceded in death by another son, Bobby.

Visitation will be held at the Crane Funeral Home, 36885 Goddard Road (734-941-9200) in Romulus on Monday, August 19 from Noon to 8:30 p.m.  Services will be held at the funeral home Tuesday, August 20 at 11 a.m.

...

(TOLEDO, Ohio - August 16, 2013) - Brent Jack scored the victory in the Miller Lite 100 for the ARCA Glass City Gold Cup/Main Event Late Model Series feature Friday night at Toledo Speedway.    Scott Hantz, by virtue of his second place run, captured the 2013 Gold Cup championship, while Dennis Whisman and Tommy O’Leary secured the track championships in their respective classes.  NASCAR Talladega 500 winner David Ragan greeted fans prior to the beginning of the race card.

The 100 lap Late Model contest with filled with attrition as just 9 cars finished the event.   Despite that number, a great battle up front for the lead kept things exciting for a better part of the race.  Harold Fair Jr. led the first 4 laps, until Jake Francis grabbed the top spot after a lap 5 restart.  Brent Jack had a fuel leak and that sent 6 cars sliding and spinning down the backchute.  Jack pitted and rejoined the field.  Jake sped away, but a lap 13 red stopped the action when Jeff Ganus had his car catch fire going down the backstretch.  Jeff would return to the race late in the event.  Scott Hantz, the fast qualifier at 15:008 for the 24 car field, took the point on lap 27 from Francis.  On lap 29, Fair darted down pit road with overheating woes. 

...

(FLAT ROCK, MI - August 17, 2013) - Angola, IN veteran Scott Hantz led only 3 laps, but they were the last 3 as he took the victory in the 7-Up 125 lap feature for the ARCA/CRA Super Series Late Models powered by Jeg’s Saturday night at Flat Rock Speedway.  The race saw an incredible run of 121 laps of straight green flag racing after a lap 1 yellow flag.  NASCAR driver David Stremme signed autographs and greeted fans at the track.

A 20 car field took the green flag and female star Ali Kern grabbed the lead.  Ali was impressive out front, working traffic to the high and low side and staying in the number 1 spot for the initial 40 laps.  The yellow came out after 1 circuit when Kenny Tweedy spun in turn 2.  The next 121 laps would run green, and with traffic and battles for position, the action was exciting all around the ¼ mile paved oval.

Brian Campbell began to make his run to the front and eventually caught Kern and zipped into the lead on lap 41, using the high groove.  Campbell stayed up top as he set a very quick pace.  Hantz got caught in race traffic, which slowed his progress in the early stages of the race. Fast qualifier and current ARCA/CRA point leader Travis Braden (12:183), steadily move up through the field from his 8^th starting spot.  The long stretch of green flag racing saw 4-time Flat Rock champ Eric Lee, Braden and Hantz stage a great battle for position, while Campbell motored out front.

(Toledo, Ohio - August 30, 2013) - The large crowd that ventured to Toledo Speedway Friday for the Wendy’s Hamburgers “Night of Destruction” got what they came for and more!  A wild and entertaining night of action and thrills put the exclamation mark on the evening, which included the track’s ARCA ACME Dismantling Sportsman division championship event. 

Representing the Toledo-area and surrounding Wendy’s franchises, Wendy was busy all night, greeting fans, presenting trophies and she also sang both the Canadian and our National Anthem! 

For the first time, the Sportsman class competed as part of the Night of Destruction race card.  Ron Allen captured the 40 lap Championship race, the final point event of the season.  A very competitive chase for the lead saw Ron Allen hold on for the win over Mike Young, Kyle DeLisle Jr., Howard Kelley Jr., Jim Froling, Greg Stilwell, Jeff Myers Jr., Chad Stilwell, Kenny McKay Jr., Dan Grigsby, Norm Lewallen, David Frantz, Kent McCloskey, Andy Harding and Rich Abel.  Froling captured the 2013 track championship, edging out DeLisle Jr., Allen, McKay Jr. and Young for the honor.  Kelley Jr. and Myers Jr. took the heat wins.  DeLisle Jr. set quick time at 17:447.

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - August 31, 2013) - While Paul Pelletier, Kyle Worley and Danny Gaddis visited the Sun Drop Winner’s Circle for the first time this season at Flat Rock Speedway, Dennis Strickland, Grant Hedges, Greg Studt and Rich Abel locked up their respective 2013 track championships on Heritage Newspapers Season Championship Night.  The exciting night was capped off with a fireworks display.

The 50 lap ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Model championship event saw the first 29 laps run without a yellow flag.  Paul Pelletier nosed out in front of pole sitter Derek Wiley to take control of the race on the start.  Paul, running with the #6 on his car to honor car owner Bob Ward, who passed away recently, stayed in control the entire distance to grab the win.  Dennis Strickland got by Wiley in the final 12 laps to take second, cementing his second Flat Rock Late Model title in the process.  Ron Allen made a slick move on a restart and was able to grab third, rookie Frank Jiovani was fourth and Steve Cronenwett Jr. fifth.  Wiley was sixth, followed by Stan Yee Jr., Eric Lee, Scott Pemberton and Chris Benson.   Wiley set fast time at 11:825 for the 21 car field, with heat wins to Allen, Joe Hawes and Brad Turner.  Strickland topped Cronenwett Jr., Pelletier, Pemberton and Jiovani in the final points.

In 1968, Toledo Speedway promoter and ARCA founder John Marcum came up with the idea of running a 200 lap Late Model invitational—the Glass City 200.  Despite a 20-year hiatus of the race from 1978-1998 (when the Toledo track was sold), the race was revived in 1999 when Marcum’s grandson, Ron Drager, purchased the track with business partner Roy Mott.

And today, the race still carries the prestige and notoriety that it once did back in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
