(Elk Mound, WI) Jimmy Mars Racing headed south to Gibsonton, FL this past
week to compete in the 2003 Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park. Jimmy
and his team had several strong runs featuring a victory in the Thursday
night Xtreme DirtCar Series feature event that paid $7,000 to win and was
taped by the SPEED channel for airing later this month. He started 17th in
the feature event and led the final nine laps to pick up his sixth career
Xtreme victory. Jimmy ended the week with three Top 5 finishes and five Top
10 finishes in six nights of racing at the 1/3-mile semi-banked oval outside
of Tampa, FL
Jimmy’s week began with solid third and fourth place finishes on Monday and
Tuesday nights $5,000 to win feature events. During Wednesday night’s
preliminary action, Jimmy looped his #28 MasterSbilt chassis and failed to
make the $7,000 to win Renegade DirtCar feature that night. The team
rebounded with Thursday’s Xtreme win and backed it up with an eighth and a
sixth place finish in the final two events held during the 2003
Winternationals. Jimmy left Florida second in the Xtreme DirtCar Series
points standings and first in the Advance Auto Parts Hard Charger Award
standings. He also had two strong runs in the two televised events with
that victory on Thursday night and a strong sixth place finish in the
$15,000 finale on Saturday night. To read more about the Xtreme races in

“We are very happy to get out of Florida with the car in one piece and
second in the point standings,” said Jimmy after his week in Florida. “Our
goal is to win the Xtreme title and we needed to get off to a good start in
order to accomplish our main goal. It is a long season, but we have put
ourselves in the position to make a strong run for the championship like we
did last year.”
Jimmy Mars Racing will compete next in the Xtreme DirtCar Series event at
Thunder Valley Speedway in Glenmora, LA on March 15. In his previous two
appearances at the Bayou speedplant, Jimmy finished 10th in 2000 and 11th in
last year’s event. Jimmy will be looking for another strong finish and
points night in the $15,000 Xtreme race. Log onto www.jimmymarsracing.com
