Jimmy Mars won the Working Man finale for the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series Saturday night at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania.
Mars started third in the 75-lap feature, ultimately earning the $20,000 purse for the weekend.
“It’s awesome to be back at Lernerville,” Mars said. “We don’t get to race as much as we want to right now. Things are going good, and I have so many people to thank. We have a lot of great people behind us. Everything worked great.”
Mars’ last World of Outlaws Craftsman® Late Model Series victory came on July 2014.
In a race that saw seven caution flags, Mars fought a stout group of series regulars. Three-time Series Champion Josh Richards, who was seeking his record-breaking 18th win of the season, swiftly led the 24-car field in the beginning laps of the race from fourth.
Richards led 64 laps of the main event, while the rest of the top five battled to catch him. Early on, it was Mars. Mars maintained a half-second behind Richards for the first eight laps. From there, he funneled back to as far as fourth place.
Mars’ greatest battle was between Defending Series Champion Shane Clanton. The Zebulon, Georgia driver began to trade third and fourth position with Mars. On a lap 45 restart, Mars solidified third, then worked to chase down Rick Eckart for second place.
With 28 laps remaining, Mars passed Eckert for second. Meanwhile, Morgan Bagley moved into fourth position.
The pivotal moment in the race came on lap 11. Richards, who was weaving through lapped traffic and building his lead over Mars, made contact with another car. His car suffered a right-front flat tire, essentially giving Mars the go-ahead for the lead.
“Yeah, that was too bad for Josh,” Mars said. “It’s tough in lapped traffic, you know? That stuff just happens, and it sucks. I’ve been in that position before. For the last few laps before that I’d say Josh and I were both saving our tires a little bit, and the bottom had a lot of moisture. I don’t know what he had for tires, but our car worked great. So I was patient in the beginning, fell back there a little bit, and then I was there at the end.”
On the restart, Bagley catapulted into second place, and cut Mars’ lead to 1.258 seconds with four laps to go. In the end, Mars took the victory by a half-second margin.
Billy Moyer, Jr. finished in third, with Eckert in fourth and Mike Norris in fifth
