World of Outlaws Late Model News & Notes: Mars/Bloomquist Firecracker 100 Tire Story Update; Eckert & Richards Pull Away In Points Race

By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director

CONCORD, NC – July 1, 2011 –

THE LATEST: Almost one week after the fifth annual Firecracker 100 presented by GottaRace.com at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., ended with conversation-starting intrigue, there remains no official news concerning the protest that race runner-up Scott Bloomquist lodged on winner Jimmy Mars’s tires.

That will soon change, however. World of Outlaws Late Model Series director Tim Christman said Mars’s tires – as well as tires used in the Firecracker 100 by Bloomquist and third-place finisher Rick Eckert – are currently at a laboratory for testing and results should be available shortly after the Independence Day holiday weekend.

DODGE CITY, Kan. – July 1, 2011 – Craig Dollansky slid past Sammy Swindell on a double-file restart with two laps to go Friday night in the Boot Hill Showdown opener at Dodge City Raceway Park and captured his fifth World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory of the season. Swindell held on to finish second with polesitter Jason Meyers, Jason Sides and Joey Saldana rounding out the top five.

Apparent motor trouble dropped Donny Schatz to a 20^th-place finish, turning over the championship points lead to Saldana, who moved three points ahead of Schatz in his quest to win his first World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series crown. It marks the second time this season Saldana has led the standings. (CLICK HERE FOR FULL RACE REPORT)
