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.
