    MARS Late model series?

    Have not heard anything since Izzo bought it. I saw they have two races at Peoria next year. Anyone know of any other dates or news with the series?

    Seeing Peoria two times on their schedule says maybe there are big changes are in store for the MARS series, maybe Izzo does know what he’s doing after all.

        2 Races at Fairbury, 2 Races at Farmer City, 2 races at Peoria, 1 at Spoon River, and more coming. He even waved the sanctioning fee for the first year he owns the MARS series and gave tracks a break. From what he's told me; he has reached out to about 50 different tracks. Tony is not having races just for the sake of having them. He doesn't want to have a race at a track when there is another near by. He's turned down a few tracks with dates. Look for Brownstown (IN) and Tri-City (IL) to possibly be on the schedule along with a few others.

          I was expecting to see a MARS race on the schedule for Plymouth. In typical Plymouth fashion, that was not the case.

            Tony said the same think when I talk to him on Facebook yesterday. You'd swear they act like their crap don't stink. The 2 that put the schedule together are a couple of bone heads. After helping them with track prep for most of 2019 that's how they do things. If it doesn't involve sprint cars they don't care to much for it. That could be a good track if the race director with stop with her b.s. She's run a few drivers off with her mouth among other things. The racing there is good though.

                        Unlikely to happen, but I'd love to see them get 1 or 2 races in Wisconsin.

                        Hope Jacksonville, IL gets a race or two.

                              I’m glad to see them add a race at Shadyhill. That is the same date the WoO Late Models are at Tri-State. Probably won’t have many cars that would have to make a decision about which one to go to, but both shows are going to have to work to get a full field. I’m sure some of the crate cars from Shadyhill will help. Shadyhill is 40 minutes from me, but I’m going to Tri-State.
