Jimmy Mars Solid Over Masters Weekend; Heads to Land of Lincoln

(MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN) Jimmy Mars and his #28 team made the short trek to the renowned Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin on June 17-18 for the annual running of the 'Masters' weekend. The UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals doubleheader kicked off on Friday night with a $5,000 to win shootout. Jimmy advanced up to third in his heat race and later started the 40-lapper from the outside of the fourth row. The Menomonie, Wisconsin star then powered past a trio of competitors during the main event on his way to a strong fifth place performance behind only winner Billy Moyer, Jason Krohn, Chris Simpson, and Bobby Pierce.

On Saturday evening at CLS, a $10,000 top prize was on the line in the 'Masters' finale. Jimmy timed in sixth quickest in his group during UMP qualifying, but later stormed to the front in his heat race to score the prelim victory. After rolling off from the inside of the second row in the 50-lap feature event, the popular driver known as the "Iceman" ran amongst the leaders before dropping to sixth at the checkered flag. Complete results from both "Hell Tour" shows can be accessed online at www.thehelltour.com.

The Mars Racing team will rejoin the grueling UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals tour over the June 24-25 weekend in the Land of Lincoln. A pair of $10,000 winner’s checks will be up for grabs on Friday at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Illinois and on Saturday at Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois.
