...TERRY SENNEKER SIGNS UP FOR TOLEDO ALLEGIANT GOLD CUP RACE
(TOLEDO, Ohio - April 25, 2012) - Wayland, MI driver Terry Senneker has inked his entry for this Sunday’s ARCA Allegiant Gold Cup 100 lap event at Toledo Speedway, which is one half of the 7-Up Twin 100’s at the ½ mile paved oval. The ARCA/CRA Super Series Late Models will also be in competition with a separate 100 lap event for the stock-bodied Late Models.
...I-75 CONSTRUCTION WARNING!
For those race fans and race teams that use I-75 to get to Flat Rock and/or Toledo Speedway, beware! BOTH I-75 Northbound and Southbound will be CLOSED this Friday, April 27 at 9 p.m. until Sunday, April 29 at 9 p.m.
The closures are at the Schaefer-Fort St. exit to the north and goes all the way to the Gibraltar Road exit to the south.
MDOT is demolishing bridges in that area. Here’s the fun part. Both Telegraph Road just north of Flat Rock and parts of Fort St. (both north-south roads) are also under construction!
A suggestion---take I-275 to I-75 on the way to Toledo. For Flat Rock, take I-275 to exit 8, Will Carleton Road. Head east 5 miles and it dead-ends into Telegraph. Go south or right 1 mile to the track.

FLAT ROCK STARTS NEW SEASON WITH ACTION-ACTION-ACTION!
(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - May 5, 2012) - Race fans were treated to a night full of action and thrills as Flat Rock Speedway kicked off the 2012 racing season. Paul Pelletier, Robbie Loving, Clyde McKee and Rick Bennett captured feature wins.
The moon was full and that usually signals a strange and wild night at the race track! Opening night was not kind to the defending Flat Rock champions. Figure 8 king Jeremy Vanderhoof grenaded an engine in hot laps, went home, put in a new one and did make it back for the race program. Eric Lee, the Late Model champ, had his day go south with just 2 laps to go in the feature while leading, and 2011 Street Stock champ Tim Moore encountered engine trouble after his heat race and did not compete in the main event.
...DRIVERS FROM 50 YEARS OF FIGURE 8 RACING AT FLAT ROCK TO BE HONORED SATURDAY
Flat Rock, Michigan—May 8, 2012: In the year 1961, John Marcum sanctioned and promoted races across the Midwest. Joan Simmons was the promoter at Flat Rock Speedway. Joan had mentioned to Marcum about a race called a Figure 8. Marcum, in Indiana to promote one of his many oval track races, saw the race that day. The two icons of the industry put things together, Marcum became the promoter at Flat Rock that next year, and, in 1962, Figure 8 racing at Flat Rock Speedway was born.
And from that day on, Figure 8 racing became a mainstay at Flat Rock Speedway. The track will officially celebrate 50 years of Figure 8 racing this Saturday, May 12 as Parts Galore presents Autograph Night and the celebration of 50 years of Figure 8’s at “The Rock”. A 50 lap feature for the Parts Galore-sponsored Figure 8 cars will be contested on the Figure 8 course to highlight this historic event. (Bob Studt, #54, with Denny Pace, #67 in 1974)
...LOVING-JONES- HUSTON TAKE BURGER KING NIGHT WINS AT TOLEDO
(TOLEDO, Ohio - May 11, 2012) - Sunshine and clear skies greeted the fans Friday evening at Toledo Speedway for the Burger King Scout Night. Scouts were admitted free as guests of the track and the Greater Toledo Burger King Restaurants provided sponsorship for the show. David Chandler, President and Chief Operating Officer of Bennett Management and the Burger King franchises, presented trophies to the feature winners in the Sun Drop Winner’s Circle. The track also paid honor to nearly two dozen former racers during the Racer’s Reunion ceremonies.
The 20 lap ARCA Parts Galore Figure 8 feature saw plenty of intersection action throughout the event. Jerry Lee led the first 10 circuits until Robbie Loving zipped by on the next lap to take control on his way to the victory. Lee held on for second, Dennis Whisman was third, Gary Cronenwett fourth and Greg Studt fifth, followed by Dan Apperson, Sam Hall, Scott Apperson, Archie Padgett, Nick Bradley and Ian Jezylo. Heat race wins went to Cronenwett and Scott Apperson.
