Mario Marietta Wins Inaugural United States Speed Association Midget Championship
For Immediate release
September 14, 2010
(Lebanon, IN) Terra Haute (IN) native Mario Marietta road six wins and a 100% finishing record to the top of the inaugural United States Speed Association Midget Championship point standings during the 2010 racing season.
Following two weeks of rain outs, Marietta opened the USSA season with a 3rd place finish on the banking at Plymouth Speedway. Over the next month, he piloted his Esslinger Ford Beast to a run of four consecutive wins at Grundy County Speedway, Anderson Speedway, Illiana Motor Speedway and again at Grundy County Speedway, giving him a lead in the USSA Midget Championship he would not relinquish. Marietta put a cap on his championship season with wins at Illiana Motor Speedway and Grundy County Speedway to close out the season.
Throughout the season, Joliet’s (IL) Jim Anderson, New Castle’s (IN) Dalton Armstrong and Rookie Taylor Ferns kept the pressure on Marietta. Armstrong won three times and Ferns notched one 1st place finish. The only miscue of the season occurred at Anderson Speedway on August 20 when Marietta bounced his car off the turn three wall during the heat race. Pam, Norm and Travis Young allowed him to step into their Esslinger Ford Beast for the feature event to help him in his points chase.
“Winning the USSA Midget Championship was a great success for my team and me,” commented USSA Midget Champion Mario Marietta. “It has given me the confidence and experience I need to continue my climb up the racing ladder,” he said when asked to describe the impact his USSA Midget Championship will have on his career.

Marietta is Lockard Memorial Champion
Marietta is a winner
September 5, 2010
By LARRY LINDHOLM For Sun-Times Media
MORRIS -- The 29th annual Bob Lockard Memorial at the Grundy County Speedway started later than expected on Saturday.
There were several pileups in preliminary races leading up to the Lockard Memorial.
Then when the Lockard got the go-ahead to take off, there were two wrecks during the opening laps of the 30-lap Memorial feature.
When all the racing had concluded, however, Mario Marietta from Clinton, Ind., was the winner of the checkered flag.
It was the first time that Marietta had ever run in the Lockard Memorial.
The 13-year racing veteran has been running in the UMARA for the last three years.
Marietta, who gained the lead on the final lap, is the current point leader.
"This was a special night," Marietta said moments after grabbing checkered flag. "I love this track and enjoy running my cars here."
Marietta has been around the sport for a long time.
And, he would have it no other way.
"I have been around the sport all my life," he said. "My father was an auto driver and loved this as much as I do.
"I'm happy to win this race. Bob Lockard was a special person and beloved by many."
The Bob Lockard Memorial, first run in 1981 at Joliet Memorial Stadium, is in memory to a man who loved auto racing.
He spent countless hours trying to help numerous auto drivers along the way.
Lockard was well known for driving his No. 69 midget cars to much success during a brilliant racing career.
