Alberson wins $12,000 Thaw Brawl finale at La Salle Speedway

Behind the wheel of the Roemer Machine & Welding No. 59 Late Model, Robert Motorsports pilot Garrett Alberson invaded La Salle Speedway (LaSalle, Ill.) on Friday afternoon for the 10th annual Thaw Brawl. With 23 MARS Racing Series entries entered, Garrett was collected in a wreck in his heat that dropped him back to fifth. With $3,000 on the line in the feature, Alberson worked his way up to a seventh-place finish.

After topping the 17-car field on Saturday afternoon, Alberson came in third in his heat race, which positioned him third on the starting grid for the main event. Sneaking past race-long pacesetter Brian Shirley on lap 32 as the raindrops began to fall, Garrett stormed to his first win of the season over Shirley, Tanner English, Ryan Unzicker, and Jason Feger. He pocketed a $12,000 prize for his first career MARS Racing Series triumph. (Mike Ruefer photo)
