Lebanon, Missouri (09/02/14) – A busy Labor Day weekend found Tony Jackson Jr. piloting his #56 TJR Motorsports/RLB Financial/Cornett powered Rocket Super Late Model to his fifth feature win of 2014 with a triumph at Lucas Oil Speedway.
After Mother Nature washed out the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) doubleheader over the weekend, Tony Jackson Jr. turned his sights to Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Missouri) on Saturday evening for a Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) event.
A talented field of thirty-four Super Late Models were on hand for the $3,000-to-win race. An action packed night of racing began with Tony advancing from seventh to finish fourth in his heat race, earning him the eleventh starting position on the feature grid.
Jackson Jr. climbed through the field during the course of the 40 lap feature to find himself within striking distance. As the front of the pack battled through heavy lapped traffic late in the race, Jackson Jr. made contact with early leader, Will Vaught in turn one. The incident cut down Vaught's left rear tire, and he was forced to pit. From there, Jackson Jr. assumed the point only to see the caution wave again two laps later when he and Jason Bodenhamer made contact in turn one.
Back underway, Tony held on for his first ever Super Late Model victory at Lucas Oil Speedway, taking the checkered flag ahead of Jack Sullivan, Jesse Stovall, Mark Burgtorf, and Chad Simpson.
"It was a wild one out there tonight," said Jackson Jr. "The rain this week left the track wicked fast tonight, and it made for some hard-nosed racing. It definitely felt good to get another win."
Full results from the event are available at www.MLRARacing.com .
Tony rounded out the weekend with a trip to Monett Speedway (Monett, Missouri) for the 44th Annual Four-State Dirt Track Championship at the historic oval. Thirty entries entered for action, and Tony started his night with a heat race win before racing to a sixth place finish in the feature.
Tony continues to lead the latest MARS DIRTcar Series standings. Full results from the event and the latest series' standings are available at www.MARSRacingSeries.com .
Tony will not race anywhere this weekend before heading to Springfield Raceway (Springfield, Missouri) for the annual Larry Phillips Memorial on September 13th. The $3,000-to-win event will be sanctioned by the Mid America Racing Series. For more information on the event, please visit www.MARSRacingSeries.com .
