Kent Robinson Pockets $10,000 Winner's Check in Farmer City 74
By Ben Shelton (Farmer City, IL) -- Call it sweet redemption for Kent Robinson. After seeing a Schaeffer’s Oil Mid America Racing Series (MARS) victory earlier this year stripped due to a post-race rules infraction, Kent Robinson proved on Friday night that his series win was no fluke.

The Indiana racer piloted his JB’s Disposal Services #7r MB Customs/ Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model to the $10,000 MARS triumph in the Farmer City 74 at Farmer City Raceway.
“Any time you win is great, but when you’re racing for a cause or there’s a little bit more on your shoulders, it motivates me,” Robinson commented. “It’s what it did tonight and what’s it done since [the April 13 MARS disqualification].
“I try to delegate my time between all my activities, work and whatnot, and I’ve spent a little more time on my race car in the last couple of weeks. I hope it’s showing. We’ve picked up some speed. I can’t take all the credit, we’ve all put our heads together. But it just motivated me, and I think it’s been good.”
Kent Robinson invaded Farmer City Raceway (Farmer City, Illinois) on Friday night for the Schaeffer’s Oil Mars Racing Series (MARS) sanctioned Farmer City 74. In a stout field of 52 cars, Kent secured his spot into the opening night feature with a heat race victory.
Earning the fourth-starting position for the A-Main, Robinson slipped past race-leader Hudson O’Neal on lap-35. He then battled past fuel line issues to hold off a hard-charging Allen Weisser in the final laps to capture his second win of the season and a $10,000 payday.
Weisser, Darrell Lanigan, Devin Moran, and Dennis Erb Jr. trailed him to the checkers.
Saturday's FALS Frenzy at Fairbury Speedway (Fairbury, IL) was rained out.
