USAC RETURNS TO TOLEDO FOR
HEMELGARN RACING/SUPER FITNESS NIGHT The non-winged Sprinters and Midgets will make the trek to Toledo, a track
that has hosted USAC events on and off since the mid 1970's. Drivers such as Tom
Sneva, Pancho Carter, Gary Bettenhausen, George Snider and others blazed the
path through tracks such as Toledo on their way to the Indy Cars and the
Indianapolis 500. In recent years, the likes of Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, JJ
Yeley and others cut their teeth in the USAC ranks, moving on to national
notoriety with NASCAR and the IRL. "We are very pleased to have USAC back on our schedule," noted Ron
Drager, promoter of the track. "It is very appropriate that USAC is a part
of our 50th Anniversary season at Toledo Speedway." The Friday, July 3 show will kick off the Independence Day holiday weekend.
The front gates will open at 4:30, with practice at that time. Time trials are
set for 6 and racing begins at 7:30 p.m. Several restored historic race cars are
expected to be on display in the spectator concourse during the show.
Toledo Speedway's high-banked, ½ mile paved oval is located on Benore Road
at the I-75/Alexis Road exit on the Michigan-Ohio border. For updated information, check out the website at www.toledospeedway.com
