M40 will be having autograph night this week. Don't forget to bring your autograph cards and markers.The Mini Cups always draw a lot of attention because the young fans can relate to them. In the past a nice dish of candy has been a big hit as well. The weather is going to be beautiful this week and the GLS Series looks forward to seeing  everybody at the track. 

On August 6th Maurice will be the pilot of the 34 machine. Maurice has commented that he misses driving the little cars. He will remain in the 34 car till the end of the season on Friday nights. 

July 24th we will be at Auto City Speedway (the fasted track we go to)  where the draft will affect the the mini cups. We encourage all the fans to check us out. 


As the end of the season is winding down everybody should spend alittle more time on their cars and check them over for safety. 

The GLS Series returns to M-40 speedway after an exciting evening of racing at Springport last Saturday night.

During the last trip to M-40 Speedway Morgan Baird went home with wins in the make up feature as well as the feature of the night. With a tight points race early in the season come on out and see if the number 29 of John Dewey can get a streak going after his win at Springport Speedway in the Vernors 35 lap race.

M-40 Speedway will be having Kid's night and this would be a great opportunity to come on out and see some exciting racing along with some fun events for the Kids.

The GLS Series will be giving away three bikes for the kids night event.


See you at the track!!

The weather has not cooperated with many of the tracks around Michigan and this has set the GLS back a few dates for the Series. Maurice at Springport Speedway would like to have a make up date for the May 8th rain out this past weekend. Understanding the busy scheduled throughout the summer the GLS Series would like to take a vote to have the rescheduled date be July 31st.

Please contact Tim Phillips at 269-217-9427 and let him know if this date will work for you.

See you at the track!!!

The GLS Series will be back in Action this coming Saturday night at Springport Speedway. Due to the rain on April 23rd and 24th the GLS Series is ready to get back to the track and show the fans the high speeds of these half scale stock cars.

May 8th - Springport Speedway
This will be an exciting event. The last time the GLS Series was at the track they had photo finishes from 2nd on back. John Dewey took the checkered flag. The 99 of Morgan Baird was strong all evening and had a mechanical failure in the feature causing him to fall out of the race. It looks like the Series should have a very good field of cars on hand chasing the General Materials Points fund. 

GATES OPEN AT 5PM and Racing Starts at 7PM

M-40 Speedway and the GLS Series would like to thank the teams that made the attempt to put on a show for the great fans.While the weather did not look great for Friday night at M-40 speedway the drivers and teams were looking forward to hitting the track. It was very clear that Scott Swem had his game face on by putting the number 15 car at the top of quallifying by beating the number 8 of Tim Phillips and 36 of Todd Wilfong by just under 2/10th's.

This put the 15 car in the back of the feild for the Heat Race with the full inversion. At the drop of the green flag the 29 and 99 came together bunching up the field and causing a complete restart. On the second restart the cars were really showing the fans what GLS racing is all about going three wide around the track. Just three laps in the 15 and 36 came together bringing out another caution. 

The excitment was just beginning as the number 8 took his experience and knowledge of M-40 speedway and began to work his way to the front. As Tim was working his way through the traffic he came upon the 29 car of John Dewey and had to find a way to pass. John left the bottom of the track open for Phillips and it was clear sailing to the checkered flag.

After the heat race the rain started to roll in and a tragic event happened in the infield when Richard Reiter a track official had a massive heart attack and lost his life.

The GLS Series would like to extend its condolences to the Reiter Family as they mourne their loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

On May 14th M-40 Speedway will be celebrating Richard's Life with his family friends and racing community at 6:30pm. The entire evening will be in honor of Richard. 

 GOD SPEED, RICHARD.

After an exciting race at Springport Speedway Saturday Night the GLS Series will roar into M-40 Speedway April 23rd. These drivers are working hard to hold off the Number 29 from getting to far out in the points early. John Dewey has been racing for years, but after Saturday night he is off to his best start ever in the GLS Series with the win in the A Main and the Feature. The Number 28 of Jessie Thatcher was very strong winning the B Main and fighting off the Number 8 of Tim Phillips and the 42 of Tyler Minix by the nose of the car. The racing was close all night with cars going three wide all the way around the track. 

M-40 Speedway has always been a good track for Tim Phillips as he looks to beat his current track record of 15.14. That is yet to be determined; When the GLS Series was at the track in October the Number 28 of Jessie Thatcher was real strong until he broke midway through the race and the 99 of Morgan Baird took the Checkered Flag away from Phillips and the Number 36 of Wilfong. This will be a race that you will not want to miss with the addition of new drivers Andrew Conklin, Damon Place, Chris Morgan, Darren Bohne, Trenton Ensing and Larry Decker. These drivers have a race under there belts in these cars and are now looking to get out front.  Gates for M-40 Open at 3:30pm and Racing Starts at 7:00pm  

The racing was so excited last Saturday night that Springport Speedway has invited the GLS Series back for a second Saturday in a row for a special 35 lap race sponsored by Vernors. You will not want to miss this action. The GLS Series had 15 cars last Saturday and hopes to bring out more for this 35 lap race. Gates for Springport Speedway Open At 5:00pm and Racing Starts at 7:00pm  

The GLS Series is a great way to get started in racing or if you have always wanted to race, but never had the chance this is a fun time at a lower cost than many other racing series. 

If you are a new to the GLS Series and want to learn more about how to get involved contact Tim Phillips at 269-217-9427.

See you at the track!

TNT Motorsports announces the addition of John Dewey to drive the number 29 Chevy Monte Carlo Sponsored by Shell/Pennzoil/Reece's. John has been driving in the GLS Series for the past five years. Due to an unfortunate accident last year at Spartan Speedway John had to take a step back from being a car owner. Tim Phillips owner of TNT Motorsports said that "John's unfortunate accident last year had him wondering if he would return to racing. We worked out a deal for the 2010 season with hopes of John becoming the Champion in the series." 

In addition to driving in the GLS Series John has been racing for years and the luck has not been on his side. John said "I look forward to this exciting opportunity. I have seen other drivers that have had the opportunity to drive for Tim and TNT Motorsports have great success. Tim's knowledge of the cars and resources to bring the best equipment to the tracks will give me a great shot at our goal of the 2010 Championship".

The points season kicks off April 17th at Springport. Come on out and see if John can get a jump start on the points in his new ride. 

We are very excited about the upcoming season. Check out the current schedule and the new revised rules. These are both a work in progress and we will have a few more changes/additions prior to the first race.
