The four race series began in 1987 known as the Toledo 400 Series. Between
1988 and 1990 the series name changed to the previous years champions last
name. In 1988 and 1989 it was called the VanderLaan 500 and 700 for champion
Bruce VanderLaan and the Roumell 900 for 1989 titlist Chuck Roumell in 1990.
Tim Ice won his first of two championships in 1990 and Owner/Promoter Sonny
Adams liked Ices nickname "Iceman" and decided the permanent title of the
series would become The Iceman Super Car Series.

For the first six years of the series existence the cars had non-template body styles
with only the nose pieces being stock appearing. In 1993 the Iceman cars made
the switch to template bodies, giving the cars the appearance of their street
cousins. As part of the technical inspection, each race, the car must meet the
template for that particular car model.

During the first two years of the series, all races were held at the mile high
banked flagship track of Toledo Speedway. In 1989 the series began traveling and
ran its first away race on July 3, 1989 at Sandusky Speedway (Ohio). Since then,
the Iceman Super Car Series has run in four different states, Ohio, Michigan,
Pennsylvania and Indiana. The Series gained national exposure in 1994 and 1995
when three different races were televised on The Nashville Network (TNN).

Several drivers, who have moved on to other divisions, raced regularly with the
series during its formative years. Johnny Benson Jr. (Winston Cup), Butch Miller
