Tony Jackson Jr. Wins Wild MARS Feature at Springfield Raceway
by Ben Shelton
LEBANON, Missouri (March 24) – After more than a month away from the track, Tony Jackson Jr. resumed competition on Saturday night at Springfield Raceway (Springfield, Missouri). He would make the most of the opportunity by winning a wild feature in his Henryetta Ford #56 Black Diamond by Club 29/Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model.
The $2,000-to-win, MARS DIRTcar Series opener drew a stout field of thirty Super Late Models the 1/4-mile oval. Tony charged to a convincing heat race victory, locking him into the second starting spot for the feature alongside Jesse Stovall. Despite heavy and rough tracks conditions, Jackson Jr. waged a fierce battle with Stovall and Tyler Erb for the top spot in the late stages of the main event. Erb suffered mechanical issues with just five laps remaining, relinquishing the lead to Jackson Jr. Tony went on to claim his second victory of the season over Stovall, Jeremy Payne, Brandon Hightower, and Dustin Walker.
“That was a crazy race tonight,” said an exhausted Tony Jackson Jr. in victory lane. “The track crew did their best with the track, but Mother Nature made it pretty difficult tonight. Luckily we were able to figure a line out tonight and come on top.” He concluded by noting, “I want to thank my sponsors and fans for all of their great support.”
