A strong field of thirty-six MARS Super Late Models entered the event at the Salina Highbanks Speedway (Salina, Oklahoma) on Saturday evening, and Tony used a heat race win to lock into the main event in his RLB Financial #56 Rocket/Cornett Racing Engine entry. In the feature, Jackson Jr. took control from Brantlee Gotschall mid-race and led the remainder of the 40 lapper for his second MARS triumph of the 2014 season. Gotschall finished second followed by Jesse Stovall, Tommy Weder Jr. and Jason Hughes. With the win Tony clinched the 2014 MARS title over Jesse Stovall.
"Wow, what a way to wrap up the MARS season," said Jackson Jr. "This year has definitely been a challenging one for our team, but nobody gave up and we all just kept digging. That makes this title that much sweeter. Now hopefully we can notch a few more wins before the season winds down.
Tony is currently unsure of what his next will be, so please keep your browsers locked to his website for the latest news and schedule updates.
