Mike Marlar Conquers Ponderosa for $7,500 Payday
Winfield, Tennessee (08/27/13) - Mike Marlar raced to his 3rd win of the 2013 season in his #5b Bryson Motorsports/Currin Construction/SEG LLC/Bloomquist/Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model on Friday night with a triumph in the 6th Annual Friday Night Rumble at Ponderosa Speedway (Junction City, Kentucky).
The $7,500-to-win race drew a field of 33 entries to the clay oval, and a 2nd place finish in his heat race locked Mike into the 7th starting spot for the 60 lap finale. As the race went green Mike began working his way forward and would take over the top spot on lap 11 from Jackie Boggs. After a lap 12 restart Boggs shot back to the lead, and Marlar would slip back as far as 3rd before regaining the lead on lap 48, when race leader Dustin Neat tangled with a lapped car.
Mike went on to score his second win in the event with Brad Neat, Dustin Linville, Justin Ratliff, and Chris Combs rounding out the top five.
"It was another great night for our team, and we are really excited about the upcoming big events," Marlar noted. "I really think we could make some late season noise."
Full results from the event are available at www.PonderosaSpeedway.net .
A busy Labor Day stretch is on tap for Mike Marlar and Bryson Motorsports as they travel to Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Action opens on Saturday evening at Portsmouth Raceway Park (Portsmouth, Ohio) with the River Days Rumble, which will post a $15,000 winner's check for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) event. On Sunday, September 1st Mike will return to the scene of the crime, when he enters the LOLMDS $25,000-to-win, 45th Annual Hillbilly 100 at I-77 Raceway Park (Ripley, West Virginia). In 2012 Mike started dead last before claiming his second title in the coveted event. The weekend will conclude on Monday evening, September 2nd at Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex (Markleysburg, Pennsylvania) with a $20,000-to-win program with the National Dirt Racing League (NDRL).
