The 26th season of the Midwest Auto Racing Series, otherwise known as the MARS Late Model Championship Series, kicked off over the weekend with the season-opening Nippy 50 at Iowa's Maquoketa Speedway, the Jeff Hoker-promoted event that debuted last season.
Bobby Pierce again topped Ricky Thornton Jr. to cap a $25,000 sweep ($10,000 Friday, $15,000 Saturday) at the 3/8-mile Iowa oval. Saturday's victory was Pierce's eighth of the 2025 season.
Brian Shirley finished third behind Pierce, who led all 50 laps from the front row, and Thornton. Garrett Alberson and Ryan Gustin completed the top five. Brandon Sheppard started from the pole but finished sixth and failed to lead a lap.
