Flat Rock Speedway

Toledo, Ohio—January 25, 2017: The 3-race “Silver Cup” Series for ARCA’s Late Model Sportsman division will return for the 2017 season and be backed by local businessman Mike Rogers through his R & M Recycling business. The trio of races will see 2 events at Toledo Speedway and a single event at Flat Rock Speedway.

The R & M Recycling Silver Cup races will each be 50 laps. The dates are Saturday, June 24 at Flat Rock; Saturday, July 1 and Friday, August 11, both at Toledo.

A separate point system will be kept for the 3 races, and a bonus point fund has been established, with the Series champion to collect $500. Second place will get $300, $200 will go to the third place finisher, $150 to fourth and $100 to the fifth place driver. Points for these 3 events will also be earned for the 2017 over-all ARCA Late Model Sportsman championship chase.

The R & M Recycling Silver Cup Series contests will also feature a bonus purse structure, lap money at $5 per lap and contingency awards from Bazell Race Fuels/Sunoco Race Fuels (Toledo races) for each of the 50 lap feature events. Several other awards are being sought and will be announced when details have been finalized.

R & M will also continue its sponsorship of School Buses for both “Night of Destruction” events at Toledo in 2017, as well as their association with the Glass City 200.

“We are very grateful to Mike Rogers and the folks at R & M Recycling for their continued support,” said Ron Drager, Owner and Promoter of both Toledo and Flat Rock.

R & M Recycling has locations in Toledo, OH, Adrian, MI and Monroe, MI.

Additional sponsorship announcements will be released in the coming weeks leading up to the new race season.
