Toledo, Ohio—March 18, 2016: Officials from the Midwest Super Modified Association (MSA) and Toledo Speedway have teamed together to present the “Glass City Nationals” for the Super Modified portion of the 16th Annual “Fastest Short Track Show in the World” at Toledo Friday evening, June 10. The MSA event will feature a 50 lap main event, with $4000 posted to win the race and $700 to start.
The event, an open-wheel tradition at the Glass City oval, will also see the return of All American Coach of Sylvania, OH, Hemelgarn Racing and Super Fitness as the title sponsors. The MSA Super Modifieds will share the spotlight with the Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper Super Sprints (AVBBSS), making for one of the top open-wheel events in the Midwest. A.J. Lesiecki posted his first-ever win in MSA competition in the 2015 classic, while hometown favorite Jimmy McCune was victorious in the AVBBSS Winged Sprint feature event.
The June 10 contest will make history for the MSA teams as the biggest purse ever at Toledo Speedway for the group. “We are very pleased to make this announcement with Toledo to host the first-ever Glass City Nationals for the MSA,” stated Kevin Jaycox, President of the group. “The race will be the highlight of our 2016 schedule.”
