Last weekend found Tony competing in a triple header of action in Iowa and Illinois.

Competing with the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA), Tony Jackson Jr. visited Lee County Speedway (Donnellson, Iowa) on Thursday night for the $3,000-to-win, A-Main. Against a field of 37-entries, Jackson Jr. edged his way into the feature with a 3rd-place outing in his heat. Starting in 10th, Tony improved six spots in the 40-lapper posting a 4th-place finish behind race winner, Brandon Sheppard, Earl Pearson Jr. and Chis Simpson with Jesse Stovall coming in 5th.

Resuming action with the MARS DIRTcar Series, Tony Jackson Jr. made the trip to Farmer City Raceway (Farmer City, Illinois) on Friday night for the Douglas Dodge 40 event co-sanctioned by the MARS Series and the Sunoco American Late Model Series. Failing to hit a transfer spot in his heat, Jackson Jr. captured a consolation win, securing his spot into the feature. Battling for a $5,000 payday, Tony worked his way up to a 13th-place finish.

Saturday night brought Tony to Fairbury American Legion Speedway (Fairbury, Illinois) for the $10,000-to-win, FALS Frenzy. In a stacked field of 43-cars, Jackson Jr. recorded a 3rd- place finish in his heat, earning him the 12th-starting spot for the feature. With 40-laps to gain some ground, Tony Jackson Jr. advanced to an 8th place finish.
