Gresham banks second win of 2023 at Magnolia Motor Speedway
Mario Gresham trekked south to All-Tech Raceway (Lake City, Fla.) on Saturday afternoon to kick off his Memorial Day weekend with the Crate Racin’ USA for the Harvey Jones Memorial.
With 45 Late Models entered for the event honoring the late Hall of Fame racer out of Georgia, Gresham got off to a slow start early in the night but found speed in his B-Main with an impressive 12th-to-4th run. Taking a provisional into the $10,000-to-win A-Main, Mario marched through the field 14 spots in the 50-lapper to register a 10th-place finish.
After the team made the long haul overnight, Mario unloaded his Traction Apparel Company No. 21 Late Model at Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Miss.) on Sunday for the Memorial Day special. With his qualifying effort placing him on the front row for the feature, Gresham stole the lead on the second circuit and never looked back, soaring to his second win of the season. He bagged a $1,000 payday 1.091 seconds ahead of Josh Parkerson with Riley Sheedy, Dillon Crim, and Phil Dean completing the top-five finishers.
