Lebanon, Missouri (07/01/14) – Tony Jackson Jr. powered his #56 TJR Motorsports/ RLB Financial/Rocket/Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model to his second win of 2014 over the weekend with a triumph at Tri City Speedway.
Tony Jackson Jr. set out to enter a pair of Lucas Oil MLRA events over the weekend, but Mother Nature would intervene as both programs were nixed by rain.
As a result the team motored their way back east in time to catch a UMP Weekly Racing Series event at Tri-City Speedway (Pontoon Beach, Illinois). Twenty Super Late Models entered the event, and a fifth to second run in heat race action earned Tony a spot in the evening’s dash. Jackson Jr. went on to finish second in the dash after starting fifth, locking him into the second starting spot for the finale. In the main event Tony raced to his second victory of the season, which came over Tim Manville, Billy Laycock, Mark Voigt, and Scott Weber. Complete results from the event are available at www.TriCitySpeedway.net .
“The rain definitely made for a bad start to the weekend, but we were able to make the most of the situation and got a win at Tri City,” commented Jackson Jr. “We still have a lot to learn about this new car, but so far we are making a lot of strides, and I really like it.”
The current Mid America Racing Series (MARS) point leader will go into battle in a trio of events with the series this weekend. On Thursday night a $3,000-to-win event will be held at Monett Speedway (Monett, Missouri) before action shifts to Salina Highbanks Speedway (Salina, Oklahoma) on Friday and Saturday with a $3,000-to-win and $5,000-to-win affair, which will also be sanctioned by the Lucas Oil MLRA.
