Jimmy Mars Eyes Ogilvie Following Red Clay Classic Weekend

(MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN) Jimmy Mars returned to both Late Model and Open Wheel Modified competition over the September 30-October 1 weekend at ABC Raceway in Ashland, Wisconsin, as the track hosted the annual running of the 'Red Clay Classic.' Behind the wheel of his #28 Late Model, Jimmy was involved in a heat race incident on Friday night, but received a Past Champions provisional on Saturday evening to transfer into the $4,000 to win headliner. The Menomonie, Wisconsin superstar then rallied past fifteen competitors during the caution-free fall special en route to a respectable tenth place performance.

In Open Wheel Modified competition, Jimmy ran fifth in his heat race, but later won his B-Main to gain access into the feature event, which paid $3,000 to the victor. The driver known as the "Iceman" then opted to pull off the one-groove racing surface early in the 'Red Clay Classic' and was officially placed twenty-fourth in the final finishing order. Complete results from ABC Raceway can be accessed online at www.abcraceway.com.

Mars Racing will now gear up for the ‘Fall Classic’ on October 7-8 at Ogilvie Raceway in Ogilvie, Minnesota. Jimmy’s legion of Gopher State fans will be able to watch him turn laps in his WISSOTA Late Model this weekend at the “Big O,” as he shoots for the $4,000 winner’s check. Heat races will take place on Friday night, while consolation events and the main event are slated for Saturday evening.
