MARS REGISTERS DRAMATIC FIRECRACKER 100 VICTORY WORTH $30,950
AT LERNERVILLE
 SARVER, PA (June 29, 2009) Jimmy Mars was unstoppable in Saturday night's third annual Firecracker 100 at Lernerville Speedway. After being angered by a scrape with another competitor that forced him to the pit area with a flat left-rear tire on lap 27, Mars stormed through the field to register a dramatic victory in the blockbuster $140,000 World of Outlaws Late Model Series event.
Powered by VP’s Late Model Plus racing fuel, Mars completed his stirring rally by passing defending WoO LMS champion and fellow Team VP driver Darrell Lanigan for the lead on lap 94. He had no trouble over the remaining distance, pulling away from Lanigan with ease after a final caution flag flew on lap 95.
“My emotions were running pretty wild (after sustaining the flat tire),” said Mars, who had advanced his M-B Custom Chassis car from the 18th starting spot to eighth by lap 27. “If I wouldn't have been in a car, I probably would've strangled somebody as mad as I was. But I calmed myself back down and said,’I'm gonna make something happen here.' I was gonna do my best to try to win it (after restarting at the rear of the field), and obviously it worked out.”
The triumph, worth $30,950 including lap money and other awards, was the first of Mars's career on the WoO LMS. His best previous finish on the tour was second on two occasions, including his first-ever appearance at Lernerville on April 17, 2007.
