Batesville, Arkansas (03/06/12) – Jared Landers ended the month of March on a high note by claiming a $10,000 win with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) at Lone Star Speedway (Kilgore, Texas) on Saturday night in his #5 Clint Bowyer Motorsports/Barry Wright/Roush Yates Racing Engine Super Late Model.

On Friday night Jared was in action at Jackson Motor Speedway (Byram, Mississippi) with a $10,000-to-win, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) event at the 1/4 mile oval. Forty-five cars entered the program, and Landers started the night on the right foot by setting fast time in Red Buck Cigars Pole Qualifying to earn the pole position for the first heat race. He would claim the win in his heat race to lock into the pole position for the 50 lap main event with Jimmy Owens joining him on the front row. As the race went green Owens bolted to the lead with Landers in tow. Jared ran second for the first of the event before Don O’Neal slipped by for the second spot. Landers would make several bids to retake the second spot late in the race, but as the top groove went away he would ultimately slide to a fourth place finish behind race winner, Don O’Neal, Jimmy Owens, and Tyler Reddick.

Jared concluded the weekend’s Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) trip through the South on a high note by claiming his first tour win of the season on Saturday night at Lone Star Speedway (Kilgore, Texas). With 28 entries on hand, Landers topped the field in Red Buck Cigars Pole Qualifying for the second straight night. After starting on the pole of his heat race he stormed to the win to earn the second starting spot for the 50 lap feature, and was joined by Jimmy Owens on the front row for the second straight night. When the green flag dropped Landers would bolt to the lead with Owens in tow. Owens provided pressure to Jared for the duration of the event before the caution flew on lap 48 to set up a two lap shootout. When the green flew for the final time Owens would use the low line to race past Landers for the lead entering turn one. Jimmy would narrowly lead Landers back to the white flag before Jared used the high line to race past Owens for the lead exiting turn four. He would go on to lead the last few hundred feet to claim the $10,000 win!

“Jimmy (Owens) made it pretty exciting in the last two laps there. On that restart with two to go I think I underestimated him and didn’t drive it in there hard enough getting into turn one. Luckily we were able to get back past him to claim the win. This is a big win for the team,” noted Landers.

The team will return to action in the finale for the Carolina Crown at Lancaster Speedway (Lancaster, South Carolina) this Saturday night, April 7th. The $20,000-to-win event was originally slated for March 16th-17th, but Mother Nature twice delayed the feature that weekend, and the 75 lap finale was ultimately rescheduled for this Saturday. Landers set fast time in the event before finishing second in his heat race to lock into the 4th starting spot for the feature. Full event details are available at www.TheCarolinaCrown.com.
