MARS RUNNER-UP TO DIEMEL
AT CEDAR LAKE
(April
16, 2012) With a water
main break at the Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie, Wisconsin
canceling Friday night's action, Jimmy Mars competed in
only one single event over the weekend on Saturday, April
14 at the Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
Jimmy, who was behind the wheel of his father-in-law's #21
entry, ran third in heat race action at CLS, which earned
him the rights to the inside of the fourth row in the $1,000
to win feature event. During the course of the 30-lapper,
the Menomonie ace drove past five competitors en route to
a strong runner-up performance behind only winner A.J. Diemel,
