Cory Duane Wins at Flat Rock!

Cory Duane and the #46 car won the Street Stock 50 Lap race at Flat Rock Speedway! 

Guy Fire and the #84 car battled for the lead through most of the race! 

     Cory Duane and the #46 car won the Street Stock 50 Lap race at Flat Rock Speedway last Saturday night!  The evening featured three 50 lap races, followed by a firework show!  The Street Stock race was my favorite race of the evening, and the entire event would have been fit for prime time television!
     Scott Selmi and the #24 car lead the Street Stock race early, but Guy Fire, and Cory Duane eventually made their way to the front.  Fire, and Duane battled side by side, but Guy Fire rear ended a car (that was being lapped) with about three laps to go!  Cory Duane and the #46 car held on for the victory!

Opening Night At Flat Rock Speedway

                                                  

ARCA racing is back at Flat Rock Speedway!

             






     Last Saturday was opening night for racing at Flat Rock Speedway, and Mitten State Sports Report was there to take in all the action.  The weather was cooperative, and the intensity of the event was on display from the moment I passed through the gates.  When I sat down in the grandstands, I looked up and witnessed an accident take place on the far side of the track.  Throughout the night there were several crashes including a small engine fire under the hood of one of the race cars.  As for the actual racing, it was a phenominal event that only got better as the night went on.  The family friendly environment, along with the great food, made coming to the track a memorable experience and is a trip worth repeating.  The staff at Flat Rock Speedway was also very friendly, and helpful in assisting fans with questions and concerns.

There's a seat waiting for you in the grandstands!

    




     Flat Rock Speedway offers fans the oppurtunity to connect with their favorite drivers in several unique ways.  Autograph alley is a new addition to the track this year, and gives fans a chance to meet the drivers that end up in victory lane.  Announcers constantly provide fans with information, along with historical facts about the race track, and drivers.  When wrecks cause the action to be put on hold, interviewed race car drivers keep the fans entertained, and informed of even the most minor details.  Next Saturday night, (May 12th) Flat Rock Speedway celebrates 50 years of figure 8 racing with a 'Racers Reunion' night.  Fans will get a chance to walk on the track, and meet current drivers along with heroes from the past. 

A view from the grandstands!

                   
           


     Whether you like the 'Late Models', 'Street Stock', or the intensity of the figure 8's, Flat Rock Speedway has something for everyone.  Gates open hours before the actual races begin, which gives fans the oppurtunity to make a day out of it, and really get value for their hard earned dollar.  The grandstands include an alcohol free section for families, and hills that landscape one side of the track to assist fans who seek a view in the comfort of their favorite lawn chair.  Some of the highlights this season include monster trucks, fireworks, and open practices during the week.  For more info on Flat Rock Speedway check out  http://www.flatrockspeedway.com/
    

Not everyone makes it to the finish line!
