Jimmy Mars Seventh at Granite City; Ready to Tackle Red Cedar Tomorrow Night

(MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN) The Mars Racing team ventured south to the Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Illinois and the Paducah International Raceway in Paducah, Kentucky on May 4-5 for a pair of $10,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series battles. On Friday night at Granite City, Jimmy Mars grabbed the fourth and final transfer spot through his heat race and later started the 50-lap feature event from the inside of the seventh row. The Menomonie, Wisconsin ace sported a fast racecar throughout the A-Main, as he picked off six competitors en route to a solid seventh place showing.

At Paducah on Saturday evening, the #28 team once again challenged for a $10,000 top prize. Jimmy ran sixth in his stacked heat race and later finished second in his B-Main. Unfortunately, Jimmy was an early retiree from the 50-lapper and wound up posting a twenty-first place effort. Complete results from the LOLMDS double-dip can be viewed online at www.lucasdirt.com.

Jimmy and the #28 team have a single event planned for this upcoming weekend, as they put the finishing touches on a brand-new racecar that they plan to debut later in the month. The team will travel down the road to the nearby Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie, Wisconsin on Friday, May 11 for a $1,000 to win regular weekly show.
