Weekend Calendar: May 15th – 17th

Highlight of the racing weekend is the ARCA Racing Series making its annual visit to Toledo Speedway.  The ARCA Truck Series races Saturday, then the Menards 200 runs Sunday.  Discount tickets are available at participating Menards stores.

I will be at Lake County Speedway for their weekly racing action, but everybody should get out to their local track and enjoy the beautiful weather that appears to have returned to Northeast Ohio.

Some things to note…Sandusky has re-scheduled both The Main Event Racing Series and MSA Supermodified races that were supposed to run last week.  The Main Event race has been moved to July 11th, while the Supermodifieds have moved to August 15th.

The Mansfield Grand Re-Opening scheduled for May 23rd has been postponed.  The Main Event Racing Series and MSA Supermodifieds will both announce new dates for Mansfield early next week.

I will also be adding Summit Motorsports Park, Thompson Raceway Park, and Championship Kart Racing Association dates to the calendar this weekend.

Most Tracks On for Racing Despite Cold

While weather has cancelled racing at a handful of tracks, many others plan to push through the cold and run races.

While there is plenty of great racing still on schedule tonight, the highlight is probably Toledo Speedway in Toledo, OH.  The ARCA / CRA Super Series and Midwest Tour will both hit the track for the 7-UP 150 tonight at 5 PM.  Sharon Speedway features its first Super Late Model Showdown night of the year, while Hilltop Speedway hosts EDGE Modifieds.  Also, a pair of FAST series compete at Fremont and Columbus.  Drivers battling for the Fremont Attica Sprint Title hit up Fremont Speedway for the first time of 2013, while FAST Series Legend Cars take to Columbus Speedway.

Weather was cold and damp enough to cancel racing at Attica Raceway Park last night, and also led to the cancellations of four other races.  Midvale Speedway and Lorain County Speedway were both scheduled to start their seasons tonight, but have pushed things back to the 27th now.  Eldora and Deerfield also cancelled events due to weather conditions.
