Tony Jackson Jr. Tops Toilet Bowl for $5k; Springfield Next

Lebanon, Missouri (03/07/16) – There was no new-car blues over the weekend for Tony Jackson Jr. as he powered his Odell Trucking LLC #56 Smith Creek Moonshine/Longhorn by Weaver/Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model to the $5,000 triumph in the Tuckasee Toilet Bowl finale at Clarksville Speedway.

“We obviously have a lot to learn about this new car, so to be so fast out of the box is pretty awesome” said Jackson. “If you told me before the weekend started that we would get a win and a second place finish in this new Longhorn by Weaver, I would’ve definitely taken it. It feels incredible to get such a great start to the year.”

Making his 2016 season debut, Tony Jackson Jr. traveled to Clarksville Speedway (Clarksville, Tennessee) on Friday night for the opening round of the MARS DIRTcar Series, Tuckassee Toilet Bowl Classic. After posting the fastest time out of twenty-nine Super Late Models, Jackson Jr. scored a heat-race win setting him up with the 3rd-starting spot for the main event. Paying $3,000 to the winner, Tony notched a runner-up finish behind race winner, Dennis Erb Jr. with Brian Shirley, Tanner English, and Clayton Miller rounding out the top five.

On Saturday night in a field of twenty-six cars, Jackson Jr. reeled in another heat race victory, setting him up with a front row starting spot for the A-Main. With $5,000 on the line, Tony led all 50 laps to cruised to his first victory of the 2016 season with Tanner English, Josh Putnam, Clayton Miller, and Payton Looney trailing him across the finish line.
