FIRECRACKER 100
AT LERNERVILLE BELONGS TO MARS! Posted June 28, 2009
The
Mars Racing team reached victory lane for the ninth time in
2009 in thrilling fashion over the weekend at the Lernerville
Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania! The World of Outlaws Late
Model Series sanctioned the annual running of the 'Firecracker
100' on Friday and Saturday, June 26-27 and over sixty drivers
from across the country were on hand to vie for the $30,000
top prize. On Friday night, Jimmy Mars timed in thirtieth
fastest during WOOLMS qualifying and later earned the third
and final transfer spot in his competitive heat race.
When the dirt-slinging action resumed on Saturday evening,
Jimmy rolled off from the outside of the ninth row in the
100-lap 'Firecracker 100.' He was already up to the eighth
position on lap 27 when contact from another competitor flattened
his left rear tire. After quick service from his crew in the
pits, Jimmy returned to the track at the tail end of the field.
The
Menomonie, Wisconsin native then methodically picked off car
after car on his way to the front of the field and eventually
grabbed the top spot on lap 94 from leader Darrell Lanigan.
Jimmy went on to lead the final six circuits en route to his
first career World of Outlaws Late Model Series triumph and
the $30,950 (including bonus money) payday over Darrell Lanigan,
Earl Pearson, Jr., Brady Smith, and Steve Francis. You can
