Tuesday’s night of competition at the 2011 DIRTcar Nationals saw Don O’neal make a incredible last lap charge from third place to steal the win from Jimmy Mars on the final turn. However Wednesday night Jimmy Mars got his revenge capturing the checkered flag and the $7,000 winner’s check. “Last night we gave one up on the restart (with three laps remaining), so I was sure hoping we wouldn’t have another one (late in the race),” said Mars. “But the car was just stuck like suction cups out there. I’m telling you, this thing was unbelievable.”

Mars would take the lead from Jason Feger on Lap 16 and never look back. Rounding out the top 5 would be Jason Feger, Scott Bloomquist, Josh Richards, and Jonathan Davenport. Full results are below.
