Story By: TYLER ALTMEYER / BRENT MARKS RACING – LAS VEGAS, NV – After a complete washout in Texas, losing potential World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series main event starts at Cotton Bowl Speedway and LoneStar Speedway, the “Myerstown Missile” Brent Marks will hit the road and travel further west, setting his aim on Sin City and Southern California for a trio of starts during a four-day period.
Marks, a second-year traveler with the Greatest Show On Dirt, will kick-off his trio of upcoming events with a visit to The Dirt Track at Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nev., on Wednesday and Thursday, February 28 and March 1, followed by a stop at the Perris Auto Speedway in Perris, Calif., on Saturday, March 3.
In fact, Marks will spend an entire month in California, participating in eight events extending from Saturday, March 3, through Saturday, March 24.
“We are pretty excited to get to Las Vegas,” Brent Marks, pilot of the M&M Painting & Construction/BAPS Auto Paint & Supply/Eagle Hotel/No. 19, said. “We’ve been down this road before, but we still know how big of a test the West Coast will be for our team. It will all start in Las Vegas.”
Brent Marks will enter Sin City with one top-ten finish during World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series competition in 2018. The Myerstown, Pa., native earned 23 top-ten finishes in 2017, finishing tenth in the final championship standings.
“I wouldn’t be in this position without my family and my supporters,” Brent Marks continued. “We have a strong team and a dedicated group of people who make a schedule like this possible. Our goal is to head west and perform well. Leaving California with positive momentum will be very beneficial.”
