WILD WEST SHOOTOUT
RESULTS FROM ARIZONA
(January
22, 2012) Jimmy Mars
wrapped up the 2012 version of the 'Wild West Shootout' tonight
with the $10,000 to win 'Bill Cheesbourg Memorial' at the
USA Raceway in Tucson, Arizona. Jimmy won his heat race from
the fourth starting spot and later started sixth on the grid
in the 40-lap feature event. On a predominantly one-grooved
racetrack in the A-Main, Jimmy fought valiantly for a top
five finish and crossed underneath the checkers in the fifth
spot. The Menomonie, Wisconsin ace followed only winner Morgan
Bagley, Tim McCreadie, John Anderson, and Billy Moyer, Jr.
to the finish line.
(January
21, 2012) The fifth
leg of the 'Wild West Shootout' took place earlier today at
the USA (AZ) Raceway and another $3,000 top prize was on the
line. Jimmy Mars did not have much luck on his side today,
as he was unable to advance into the 30-lap feature event.
After starting and finishing sixth in his heat race, Jimmy
battled one-lane track conditions during his consolation race
and could only muster a ninth place effort. The #28 team will
look for better luck tomorrow in the $10,000 to win 'Wild
West Shootout' finale.
(January
20, 2012) The Mars Racing
team tackled the fourth race of the 'Wild West Shootout' tonight
at the USA Raceway in Tucson, Arizona. Jimmy Mars started
his heat race from the eighth spot and picked up five positions
to finish third in the prelim. After rolling off from the
outside of the third row in the $3,000 to win main event,
Jimmy hung around the top five throughout the 30-lap race
before getting nipped at the line for sixth. He wound up finishing
behind only winner Billy Moyer, Tim McCreadie, Will Vaught,
Brad Looney, and Shannon Babb.
(January
18, 2012) Jimmy Mars
and the #28 team returned to action tonight in round three
of the 'Wild West Shootout' miniseries at the USA (AZ) Raceway.
Jimmy won his heat race from the outside of the front row
and later rolled off ninth on the grid in the $3,000 to win
A-Main. The Menomonie, Wisconsin native drove straight up
to the second spot, but was unfortunately involved in an incident
with Billy Moyer that knocked him out of contention on lap
19. Jimmy retired from the 30-lapper with a very disappointing
fourteenth place finish.
(January
15, 2012) Race two of
the 'Wild West Shootout' miniseries took place today at the
USA Raceway and a $5,000 winner's share was on the line. Jimmy
Mars improved five spots in his heat race to finish third
behind Ross Camponovo and Shannon Babb. When the 30-lap main
event rolled off, Jimmy started from the outside of the second
row. The popular driver known as the "Iceman" drove
a steady race and finished in the fourth position for the
second straight night behind only winner Tim McCreadie, John
Anderson, and Billy Moyer, Jr.
(January 14, 2012)
The Mars Racing team kicked-off their 2012 racing season tonight
in the 'Wild West Shootout' opener at the USA Raceway in Tucson,
Arizona! Jimmy Mars drew the seventh starting spot for his
heat race, but quickly moved to the front of the field to
take the impressive prelim triumph. The Menomonie, Wisconsin
ace then rolled off from the inside of the fourth row for
the $3,000 to win season opener. During the course of the
30-lapper, Jimmy moved past three competitors to earn a strong
fourth place performance behind only winner Billy Moyer, Will
Vaught, and Shannon Babb.

MARS STARTS SEASON
THIS WEEKEND AT USA RACEWAY!
(January
10, 2012) Following an eleven win year in 2011, Jimmy
Mars will look to continue those winning ways when he kicks
off his 2012 campaign this weekend at the USA Raceway in Tucson,
Arizona! For the third straight year, Jimmy will compete in
the 'Wild West Shootout' in Tucson from January 14-22. This
year's version of the six-race miniseries will feature four
$3,000 to win events, one $5,000 to win program, and a $10,000

consistent efforts out west have produced nine Top Five finishes
in those ten races. The Menomonie, Wisconsin ace looks to
