MARS ENDURES ROUGH WEEKEND
IN MISSOURI...
Posted May 5, 2008
The Mars Racing team invaded the Show-Me State of Missouri
last weekend to compete in a pair of World of Outlaws Late
Model Series shows. First up was the I-44 Speedway in Lebanon,
Missouri, as the ultra-fast speedplant played host to a $10,000
to win event on Saturday night, May 3. Jimmy Mars was twenty-seventh
fastest in qualifying and later shredded a tire in his heat
race, which severely damaged the body of his #28 entry. After
receiving a World of Outlaws Late Model Series provisional
to gain access into the 40-lapper, Jimmy made a few laps around
the track and retired with a twenty-sixth place finish.
The #28 team was looking for bigger and better things the
following night at the Monett Speedway in Monett, Missouri,
as a $7,000 top prize was up for grabs on Sunday evening,
May 4. Jimmy was thirteenth quickest in WOOLMS time trials
before finishing fifth in his competitive heat race. Following
a third place effort in the B-Main, the Menomonie, Wisconsin
native rolled off twenty-first for the 40-lap feature event.
After trying some different things on his racecar for the
A-Main, Jimmy brought home a nineteenth place performance
at Monett. You can view complete results from the weekend

MARS THIRD AT DAVENPORT, COMPETES
IN 'COLOSSAL 100'
Posted April 21, 2008
Jimmy Mars and his #28 Dirt Late Model team competed in a
pair of high-profile events last week in Iowa and North Carolina.
First up for the Mars Racing team was a $5,000 to win PolyDome
World Dirt Racing League (WDRL) Series show on Wednesday,
April 16 at the Davenport Speedway in Davenport, Iowa. Jimmy
won his heat race prior to finishing second in the dash. After
starting from the outside of the front row for the 40-lap
A-Main, Jimmy wound up a solid third in the final rundown
behind winner Darren Miller and runner-up Brian Birkhofer.
The
action then turned south to the pristine Dirt Track at the
Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina on April
18-19. Jimmy timed in eleventh quickest in World of Outlaws
Late Model Series qualifying on Friday night and later finished
second in his heat race. After drawing a twenty-two prior
to the start of the $50,000 to win 'Colossal 100' on Saturday,
Jimmy rolled off from the outside of the eleventh row for
the 100-lapper. The Menomonie, Wisconsin native kept his nose
clean at the start of the race and was working on moving up
through the stout field. However, a broken fuel pump ended
his night prematurely and he was relegated to a thirty-second
place performance. You can view complete results from the
