Toledo Speedway will host the ASA STARS National Tour on Saturday, September 16 for the 35th running of the Glass City 200. The event will be race eight on the ten-race ASA STARS National Tour.
For the first time, The Glass City 200 will feature Template-bodied Super Late Models competing exclusively in the 200 lap, 100 mile event.
The 2023 Glass City 200 will see the return of the iconic ASA brand back to Toledo Speedway for the first time in 22 years. The original ASA ran a total of 16 events at Toledo, the most recent in 2002.
The ASA STARS National Tour will introduce stage racing to the Toledo Speedway fanbase. The event will be broken into three “stages,” with stage breaks set for lap 75 and lap 150. Each of the first two stages pays $1,000 to the stage winner, and championship points to the top 10 finishers.
GoFas Pole Qualifying also pays a $1,000 bonus for fast time and championship points to the top five qualifiers.
The series utilizes a “redraw” after qualifying to determine the starting order for the top eight qualifiers.
The Toledo Speedway ARCA Salenbien Excavating Late Model Sportsman and Safety-Kleen Factory Stocks will complete their seasons on Saturday as a part of the afternoon of racing. This final race will serve as championship night for both divisions, all with big points in play for a wild night of racing.
In the Salenbien Excavating Late Model Sportsman division, Ron Allen holds the points lead over Howard Kelley Jr and defending champion Jim Froling for the top spot in this division.
In the Safety-Kleen Factory Stocks, Steve Smith and Brad Turner look to close the gap to Josh Bunting, who holds a lead over the overall division. Bunting, Smith and Turner all look to take their first championships in the Factory Stocks division at Toledo.
