The Toledo event is the final race for the ARS Series for the 2011 season. Sprague, a native of Spring Lake, MI will drive a car for fellow Wolverine resident Mark Beard of Mt. Pleasant, MI. Beard is no stranger to Toledo Speedway, having competed many times at the fast, ½ mile paved oval in an ARCA Late Model in the 1970's. The Beard Oil team has Clay Rogers in the driver's seat for the Kansas race tonight. Sprague was scheduled to also compete at Kansas, but tagged the wall in testing at the track last week. The race is part of National Championship Weekend at Toledo, perhaps one of the biggest season-ending events at a short track in the country. Pre-registration will take place Friday, October 14 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Toledo Speedway Bar/Grille, located on the grounds of the track. The NASCAR Nationwide race will be shown on big-screen TV's at the bar, courtesy of Aaron's. Saturday, October 15 the USAC Silver Crown Cars will pay a visit to the Glass City oval for their championship event, the Rollie Beale 150. The open-wheel cars will be making just their 2nd appearance at Toledo for the 2011 championship event. The USAC Regional Midgets and practice and qualifying for the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards is also on the Saturday schedule of events. Saturday's practice begins at 11 a.m. and racing begins at 3:30, with the 150 lap feature slated to roll off at approximately 5:15 p.m. Aaron's will host another big-screen party at the Bar/Grille Saturday night, featuring the NASCAR Sprint Cup event from Charlotte.
