Brent Marks Earns Pair of Top-Tens, Will Challenge Outlaws Four Times in Five Days
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
MYERSTOWN, Pa. (May 16, 2016) – Brent Marks highlighted his recent weekend in Central Pennsylvania with a pair of top-ten finishes, recording a seventh and eighth place finish during feature competition. The Myerstown, Pennsylvania, native finished eighth during the “Outlaw Tune-Up” at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, May 13, followed by a seventh place finish during the $5,000-to-win, BAPS Night program at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, May 14.
Track surfaces served as the biggest challenge for Brent Marks Racing during their Central Pennsylvania doubleheader, halting progress for the familiar M&M Painting & Construction, BAPS Auto Paint & Supply, Creekside Auto Sales, Fredericksburg Eagle Hotel, Russell Heller Builders, KC Automotive, Wolfrun Landscapes, Roadrunner Race Fuels, No. 19M.
“We are happy to earn two consecutive top-tens, but I think we would have made more progress on better surfaces,” explained Brent Marks. “We had to deal with some rubber on both nights. That doesn’t allow for much passing and it took away a lot of our potential. I felt that we should have had a better weekend. We’ll put those results behind us and work to improve beginning Wednesday.”
Brent Marks Racing will now prepare for a busy, four race stretch with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series beginning May 18. The four race stretch will consist of competition at three different ovals in two states, all during the course of five days.
Action with the “Greatest Show on Dirt” will ignite officially on Wednesday evening, May 18, during the Gettysburg Clash at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania. Marks finished eighth during the 2015 Gettysburg Clash, qualifying for the $10,000-to-win main event after earning a victory during heat race competition.
After an off night on Thursday, May 19, World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series action will continue on Friday and Saturday, May 20-21, at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The two-day marquee will be highlighted with the Morgan Cup on Saturday, May 21, awarding a $12,000 top prize, as well as a $5,000 bonus.
The Empire State Challenge at Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, New York, will officially end the long weekend with the World of Outlaws.
“We have a long list of supporters who make a long weekend like this possible,” said Brent Marks. “Without their help, frequent starts with the World of Outlaws wouldn’t be possible. I have a great group of guys who dedicate a lot of time to this race team. We’ll work as hard as we can this weekend to get up front. We’ve been close before, we just have to get a little closer.”
