What won the race: Fighting past Jason Feger on three different occasions, fourth-starting Jimmy Mars of Menomonie, Wis., took command for good past halfway, then fought off a late charge from Brian Shirley for a $4,000 DiscountShopTowels.com Dirt Kings Tour victory at Plymouth Dirt Track. Shirley ended up a half-straightaway behind in second with Feger third after the trio battled up front much of the caution-free 50-lapper.

Quotable: "It was pretty crazy. Jason and Brian, they drove a good race, and we had to be patient there in the lapped traffic," Mars said. "It got a little crazy, a little dicey, but it all turned out good."
