December 1, 2016: It’s a war, all-out war—Michigan vs. Ohio State.

The daredevil-driving style of the Figure 8 race offers great excitement and breathtaking near-misses at the intersection as the cars cross at the “X” at full speed lap after lap!
A pair of 40 lap events for the ARCA Figure 8 division, each on the famed Figure 8 tracks of both facilities—have been added to the schedules for the upcoming season. The Ohio Figure 8 crown is set for Sunday, May 28 at Toledo Speedway. This special Sunday night event will also feature a 25 lap Figure 8 contest for the ARCA Factory Stocks, a full show on the ½ mile for the ARCA Late Model Sportsman cars and, for the very first time, a Kids Power Wheels Demo! The annual Racer’s Reunion will also take place May 28.
Saturday, June 24 is the date for the Michigan Figure 8 Championship 40 lap battle. Flat Rock Speedway has served as the home of the Figure 8 class since its inception in 1961! Joining this event will be the ARCA Late Model Sportsman cars for a 50 lap “Silver Cup” Series race, plus there’s a full race card for the ARCA Street Stock division.
A special purse, special trophies and awards awaits the wild, rock-em, sock-em ARCA Figure 8 pilots for both the Michigan and Ohio Figure 8 Championships in 2017! Who’s the best?? Who has the bragging rights?? Mark your calendars and as track announcer Gary Lindahl says “Look out”!
