Story By: NATALIE JACKSON / CJB MOTORSPORTS – CARLISLE, PA – Rain washed away the opening night of action on the calendar for Brent Marks and CJB Motorsports. Yet, as the month of March ended, the team saved a thrilling run for last.
Scheduled action at US 36 Raceway near Osborn, Mo. on Friday, March 26th was canceled due to rain. The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series was next in action at Lake Ozark Speedway near Eldon, Mo. for the Jason Johnson Classic. Marks timed in 25th, finished 7th in his heat race and 2nd in the Last Chance Showdown. For the feature, Marks charged from 20th to 8th to score a top-10 finish.
“We didn’t get the night started all that well,” said Marks, pilot of the #5 M&M Painting and Construction, BAPS Paints, Fredericksburg Eagle Hotel, R.E. Pierson Construction Co., Wolf-Run Landscapes, Nyce, Crete & Landis Block and Concrete, C&S Lawn and Landscape, Ecynbro Trucking machine. “The team did a great job working through the night to give me a car that allowed me to dig us out of a hole. Ozark was super tricky with how rough it was and the race itself was wild, but a lot of fun. Derek, Brian and I had the determination to turn our night around. Nights that we can dig ourselves out of holes like that is what will Championship winning teams are capable of doing.”
The team now heads to Ohio to begin the 2021 Flo Racing All Star Circuit of Champions title chase. The first points paying events will be held at Attica (Ohio) Raceway Park on Friday, April 2nd and Saturday, April 3rd.
