Austin Theiss Scores Top 5 with MARS at Longdale

Hockley, Texas (05/23/17) – Austin Theiss registered a Top-5 finish on Saturday night in his Northside Plumbing Supply #7D MB Customs/ Vic Hill Racing Engine Super Late Model at Longdale Speedway with the Mid America Racing Series (MARS).

“To have a strong run against such a stout field of competitors is a major shot in the arm for our team,” Theiss noted. “This was just the performance that we needed, and hopefully we can carry the momentum into the Memorial Day weekend swing.”

Making his first start of the season with the MARS DIRTcar West Series, Austin Theiss traveled to Longdale Speedway (Longdale, Oklahoma) on Saturday night for the $3,000-to-win A-Main. In a field of 19 Super Late Models, Theiss followed up the ninth fastest time in qualifying with a 3rd-place finish in his heat race. Rolling off 9th for the feature, Austin advanced through the field five positions in the 35-lap affair, reeling in a 4th place finish behind Jesse Stovall, Tony Jackson Jr., and Randy Timms with Payton Looney coming in 5th.

The finish was the best of his career with the tour.

The team is looking at busy Memorial Day weekend slate, which will tentatively include three events. The weekend is set to open on Friday night at Southern Oklahoma Speedway (Ardmore, Oklahoma). On Saturday evening a $2,500-to-win event will be contested at Chatham Speedway, while Sunday night will tentatively take the team to Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) for a $2,000-to-win Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) event.
