William Thomas Has Strong Runs at GVS; Magnolia Up Next

Phenix City, Alabama (04/12/12) - William took part in the Junk Money Nationals over the course of last weekend at Green Valley Speedway (Glencoe, Alabama) and came away with a pair of strong runs to show for his efforts.

The team traveled to Green Valley Speedway (Glencoe, Alabama) over the course of last weekend for a $10,000-to-win, Crate Late Model event as well as a $10,000-to-win, Limited Late Model program.

On Friday night with 41 Limited Late Models on hand, William qualified sixth fastest in his group, which locked him into the sixth starting spot for his heat race. He would advance two spots to finish fourth, which locked him the 15th starting position for the $10,000-to-win finale on Saturday night. It was discovered after the heat that the car had a broken, ball joint, so the team made repairs and preparations for Saturday's finale. In the feature he would mount a great charge to the front of the pack as he made several attempts to pass the leader. Despite not being able to see late in the race, due to a helmet covered in mud, he would still manage to cross the finish line in second behind race winner, Kenny Compton Jr.

Friday evening also found Thomas taking part in preliminary action for the Crate Late Model division as 43 competitors registered for action. He advanced to a third place finish in his heat race, which locked him into the eleventh starting spot for the 54 lap feature on Saturday night. The finale would prove to be an interesting race for William as he charged to the second spot early in the event before slipping off the back stretch. As he returned to the surface a pair of cars spun behind him, and Thomas was credited with the caution and sent to the tail of the field. He would rebound in the closing laps and was battling for the fourth position, when contact with another car in the corner sent him spinning. He would again tag the tail of the field and crossed the finish line in 10th but was notified after the feature he would be scored 15th for bringing out two cautions.

Full results from both events are available at www.GreenValleySpeedway.com.

This weekend, April 13th-14th he will take his #22 Extreme Power Sports/Zaxby's Super Late Model into battle in the inaugural Spring Throw Down at Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi). On Friday night a $2,000-to-win purse is up for grabs, while Saturday's program will be headlined by an $8,000-to-win event.

(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) Dennis Erb, Jr. racked up his third feature win of the young 2012 racing season on Saturday night, April 7 at the LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Illinois! Dennis was fast all evening long, as he laid down the quickest lap in his group during the UMP qualifying session and later won his heat race in preliminary action. After rolling off from the outside of the second row in the 40-lap main event, Dennis grabbed the top spot on the eighth circuit and never looked back. The Carpentersville, Illinois ace beat Brian Birkhofer, Frank Heckenast, Jr., Shannon Babb, and Ryan Unzicker to the checkers to pick up the $5,000 'Thaw Brawl' paycheck. Full results from the LaSalle Speedway can be accessed online at www.lasallespeedway.com.

"It was great to get back on track with the win at LaSalle following the long weekend in Mississippi and Texas at the end of March," quoted Erb recently. "The track was in pretty good shape all night long. During the springtime, everyone worries about the track being fast and rough, but the surface was slick and smooth and provided for some side-by-side racing. We'll head out east this weekend to Virginia and hopefully our car will be just as fast out there!"

The #28 team will jump back on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series tour this upcoming weekend (April 13-14) at the pristine Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica, Virginia. The 3rd Annual 'Commonwealth 100' will be held this weekend at VMS and a whopping $25,000 payday is on the line.

Jimmy Mars Back in Victory Lane at Cedar Lake; Another Local Doubleheader Ahead!

(MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN) Following their huge $20,000 'Illini 100' triumph in the Land of Lincoln, Jimmy Mars and the Mars Racing team stayed around home over the April 6-7 weekend to compete in a doubleheader at the renowned Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin. A pair of $1,000 to win shows for the NASCAR Late Models were held at CLS to kick off the track's 54th season. On Friday night, Jimmy started seventh on the grid in the A-Main and advanced four spots to finish third in the final rundown behind only winner Chad Mahder and runner-up Darrell Nelson.

At Cedar Lake on Saturday evening, the #28 team scored their second win of the young 2012 racing season. Jimmy rolled off sixth on the grid in the 20-lap main event and grabbed the point on the ninth circuit. The Menomonie, Wisconsin chauffeur led the remainder of the distance to record the $1,000 victory over Brent Larson, Steve Laursen, Rick Hanestad, and Darrell Nelson! Complete results from the double-dip at Cedar Lake can be viewed online at www.cedarlakespeedway.com.

"It is always great to win here around home and to win at Cedar Lake during their season opening weekend makes it even a little more special," stated Mars. "We are swamped here at the shop right now, which is a good thing, but it makes it tough to get out and travel. I will probably stick around home through the month of April, get some of these new cars out of the shop, and help our clients up here get rolling as their seasons start."

Another local doubleheader will greet the Mars Racing team this upcoming weekend (April 13-14) in their home state of Wisconsin. The season opener at the nearby Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie will take place on Friday night, while the action will quickly turn back to the Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond on Saturday evening. With the team so busy at the shop preparing and building cars for customers, Jimmy will spend the month of April around home racing before venturing back out on the road in May.
