Jacob Mercer Locks into Title Chase with a Pair of 3rd Place Finishes
It has been a strong 2024 local motorsports regular season for 3rd generation racer Jacob Mercer.
Fresh from his recent back-to-back 3rd place main event finishes at Peterborough Speedway, the hard-charging youngster is getting ready for the track’s Saturday, August 31st Championship Clash. Mercer’s No. 81 machine holds-down 2nd place in the Late Model standings and is less than 30 points out of the division’s overall lead.
“Our team always gives me an excellent car and I can’t imagine this weekend’s regular season finale will be any different,” explained Jacob Mercer. “We’re looking at this show the same as we do with every other race. The crew has put together some excellent set-up notes to help us deal with the ever-changing weather and track conditions. We’ll be looking for the best possible outcome at the end of the night.”
As the regular season winds down, Jacob Mercer and the Mercer Motorsports team would like to thank everyone associated with the program for their support during the year. Whether at the track or behind the scenes, family, friends and crew members are a valuable asset to everything the team has been able to accomplish throughout the home track racing schedule.
