Mark Whitener and Big Frog Motorsports Visit Victory Lane at Marion Center
15th Annual WoO Firecracker 100 Up Next at Lernerville

OCALA, Fla. (06/21/21) – Mark Whitener enjoyed a triumphant return to the driver’s seat of the Big Frog Motorsports / M&W Transport No. 58 Dave’s Towing / Schaeffer’s Oil / XR1 Rocket Chassis / Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

“Mark (Whitener) drove the wheels off the car this weekend. He and I have won a lot of races together over the years, and it’s great to have him back in the driver’s seat,” said team owner, Augie Burttram. “We couldn’t do it without the support of M&W Transport, Dave’s Towing, Schaeffer’s Oil, Base Racing Fuel, Hoosier Tire, Ocala, Restaurant Supply, and FK Rod Ends. Also, a special thanks goes out to Brian Daugherty and Integra Shocks for all they’ve done to help get us up to speed.”

With their initial plans wiped out by Mother Nature, Mark Whitener made his first start of the season behind the wheel of the Big Frog Motorsports No. 58 Super Late Model on Friday evening at Lernerville Speedway (Lernerville, Pa.). In a field of 23 cars, Whitener passed five cars in his heat race to register a runner-up finish behind Michael Norris.

Receiving the pole position for the A-Main via the redraw, Mark led the first nine circuits until Norris snuck by on the 10th lap. Racing in the runner-up position for the final 20 circuits, Whitener notched a second-place finish behind Norris. Colton Flinner, Matt Lux, and Jared Miley completed the Top-5 finishers in the 30-lap affair.

On Saturday afternoon at Marion Center Raceway (Marion Center, Pa.), Mark topped the 15-car field in time trials before picking up a heat race victory. Earning the third-starting position for the A-Main, Whitener outdueled Jared Miley in the 25-lapper to pick up his first win of the season aboard the Big Frog Motorsports No. 58. He took the checkers ahead of Miley, Matt Lux, Alex Feree, and Jon Lee to capture $2,000.
