Gary Christian Resumes Pursuit of MARS Rookie Honors This WeekendBroken Bow, OK (06/22/10) – Gary Christian will resume his pursuit of the 2010 Mid America Racing Series (MARS) Super Late Model Rookie of the Year Title this weekend in his #58x Pannell Chipping/LCM Cedar Fiber/GRT/Pro Power Super Late Model.
Gary traveled to I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Arkansas over the weekend for a pair of O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model events. On Friday, Christian was in action in the $1,250 to win event as 23 cars signed in for battle. He would power his way to his heat race win to lock into the second starting spot for the feature. He would battle for the lead for much of the event before settling for a third place finish behind winner, David Ashley, and Allen Tippen.
On Saturday, a $2,500 to win event was on tap and Christian started 14th in the main event. He would battle an ill-handling car in the feature and would only manage a 13th place finish in the final rundown.

The upcoming weekend will see Gary in action in a pair of events that will be co-sanctioned by the MARS Super Late Model Series and the MLRA Super Late Model Series. Gary continues to lead the MARS Rookie of the Year standings, and is current in the overall tour points.
On Friday, June 25th, the action will get underway at Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Missouri with a $3,000 to win event on the half mile. On Saturday, June 26th, the festivities will move to the ¼ mile confines of Springfield Raceway in Springfield, Missouri for another $3,000 to win event.
