NDRL - National Dirt Racing League(MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN) Jimmy Mars and his Mars Racing team got their 2014 campaign started in consistent fashion recently, as they were up front throughout the ‘Winter Extreme’ miniseries at the Tucson International Raceway in Tucson, Arizona from January 11-19. The National Dirt Racing League (NDRL) presided over the six-race burst of action in the Copper State and sixty-five different drivers competed in at least one event at TIR. Jimmy was one of only three Dirt Late Model chauffeurs to transfer into each of the six main events during the nine-day stint in Tucson.

The Menomonie, Wisconsin star, who reached victory lane in a Late Model only once in 2013, earned his first triumph of 2014 on Saturday, January 18. Jimmy qualified faster than anyone in his group during NDRL time trials on Saturday and later scored the heat race win over Max Blair and Ricky Weiss. After drawing the pole position prior to the 40-lap feature event, Jimmy dominated the A-Main to lead flag-to-flag to pick up the $5,000 payday over John Blankenship, Billy Moyer, Jr., Ryan Gustin, and Tony Jackson, Jr.

In addition to the win, Jimmy also accumulated four additional Top Five performances in Tucson. The popular driver known as “The Iceman” finished fourth in the $3,000 to win opener on January 11, third in the $5,000 to win event on January 12, and fourth in both of the $3,000 to win showdowns on January 15 and 17. In the ‘Winter Extreme’ finale on Sunday, January 19, which boasted a $10,000 top prize, Jimmy was able to pass four competitors on the primarily one-groove track surface to salvage an eighth place effort.

“It was a good start to our year in Tucson and it was a pretty emotional win for me on Saturday night,” quoted Mars today. “A lot of people kinda counted us out because of our disappointing season last year, but everyone at Mars Racing worked really hard during the off-season and I think we put a good piece together for this year. We won some heat races and ran up front pretty much each night. I can’t thank all of my sponsors enough for sticking with me through the thick and the thin. One of those sponsors – Todd Sinz with T.L. Sinz Plumbing – had a heart attack recently and I would like to dedicate our Saturday victory in Tucson to him.”

Mars Racing will now turn their focus to a first-ever trip to the El Paso Speedway Park in El Paso, Texas. The NDRL tour will once again sanction the festivities at El Paso, as the ‘Battle at the Border’ will be made up of a trio of programs from January 24-26. Friday’s opener at EPSP will pay $3,000 to win, while Saturday and Sunday’s extravaganzas will both be headlined by $5,000 winning purses. All of the action will be broadcast live on Pay-Per-View at www.DirtonDirt.com.
