MARS CONTINUES WINNING WAYS!
JIMMY MARS GETS THIRD WIN OF SEASON!
MARS WINS MASTERS FINALE FOR $10,000! Earlier in the tripleheader weekend, the #28 team enjoyed a pair of solid podium performances at CLS. In Thursday's $3,000 to win 'Masters' opener, Jimmy advanced to second in his loaded heat race before placing third in the 35-lapper behind only victor Nick Panitzke and runner-up Pat Doar. At Cedar Lake Speedway on Friday evening, a $5,000 winner's check was up for grabs for the ground-pounding Late Models. Jimmy won his heat race in preliminary action prior to once again claiming a third place effort in the 40-lap feature behind only race winner Chad Mahder and runner-up James Giossi.

JIMMY MARS ENTERS MILLION & DREAM When the weekend rolled around at the "Big E," all eyes were focused on the annual running of the 'Dirt Late Model Dream.' On Friday night during the $12,000 to win preliminary show, Jimmy laid down the twenty-fifth quickest lap in his group during qualifying before finishing tenth in his heat race. More rain then invaded the area prior to start the B-Main and Jimmy opted to scratch from the remainder of the weekend and did not attempt to compete in Saturday's $128,000 to win 'Dirt Late Model Dream.'

MARS RACING RETURNS TO ACTION AT MTS At MTS on Friday evening in a similar $10,000 to win throwdown, Jimmy stopped the clock twelfth quickest in Group B during time trials, but was unfortunately spun in his heat race and was not able to transfer into the 40-lapper. In the 'Dairyland Showdown' grand finale on Saturday, a whopping $50,000 paycheck was up for grabs for the Mars Racing team. Unfortunately, Jimmy timed in seventeenth fastest in Group B during qualifying and got into the wall during his heat race, which helped keep him out of the 75-lap headliner that was ultimately won by Mike Marlar.
