Jimmy Mars Flexes Muscle Throughout Dirt Late Model Dream; Cedar Lake Biggie Next!

(MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN) The #28 team rolled into the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio from June 8-10 for the 23rd running of the 'Dirt Late Model Dream,' which once again carried a hefty $100,000 winner's check. The three-day crown jewel spectacular at the 1/2-mile, high-banked speedplant drew 79 Super Late Model competitors. Things kicked off at the "Big E" with a pair of Twin 25 preliminary programs, which paid $5,000 and $10,000 to win respectively.

Jimmy Mars ran second in his heat race on Thursday night prior to leading five of the first nine circuits in the 25-lapper before settling for a strong third place podium performance behind only winner Scott Bloomquist and runner-up Chris Madden. On Friday evening, Jimmy won his heat race and later placed an impressive runner-up in the 25-lap main event behind only victor Mason Zeigler. When the stakes were raised in the Buckeye State on Saturday, the Menomonie, Wisconsin star scored a victory in his loaded heat race before registering a steady seventh place showing in the 100-lap 'Dirt Late Model Dream.' Full results from the extended weekend at Eldora Speedway can be accessed by pointing your Internet browser to www.eldoraspeedway.com.

Next up for Mars Racing will be a short trip to the renowned Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin from June 15-17 for the annual ‘Masters.’ Jimmy is a multi-time winner during the ‘Masters’ weekend when the Super Late Models took top billing. For the first time; however, the USMTS Modified Series will preside over the ‘Masters’ and a huge three-day weekend will thrill the open wheel fans in attendance.

Jimmy will unload his own #2 Modified to vie for the $3,000 top prize tonight, June 15 in a preliminary event. Heat races and a dash are then set for Friday at Cedar Lake while consolation races and the huge $50,000 to win ‘Masters’ finale are slated for Saturday.
