(MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN) Menomonie, Wisconsin star Jimmy Mars picked up his fourth win of the 2012 campaign on Saturday night, June 2 at the renowned Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin! Jimmy won his heat race in preliminary action for the inaugural ‘Triple Crown’ and later rolled off starting fifth on the grid in the A-Main. It didn’t take long for Jimmy to make his way up front, as he took the lead on lap ten, a lead that he would never relinquish. Jimmy beat Pat Doar, Chad Mahder, Don Shaw, and Brent Larson to the checkers to claim the $3,000 top prize!
A night earlier, the #28 team found themselves in the pit area at the Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wisconsin. The DART Corn Belt Clash tour sanctioned a $3,000 to win show last Friday. Jimmy ran second in both his heat race and the dash prior to collecting a strong runner-up finish in the 35-lap A-Main as well, trailing only winner Tim Isenberg.

Following the strong weekend in his home state of Wisconsin, the Mars Racing team will now set their sights on the 18th Annual ‘Dream’ weekend at the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. Qualifying will take place tonight at the “Big E,” while the heat races, consolation events, and the 100-lap feature event are all slated for Saturday evening, June 9. A whopping $100,000 winner’s check is once again on the line for the best Dirt Late Model drivers in the country.
