K & S Ford Joins Forces with MARS Late Model Championship Powered by FK Rod Ends for 2026 Season
FAIRBURY, IL (March 12, 2026) – As we are now less than a month away from opening weekend for the MARS Late Model Championship Powered by FK Rod Ends, materials are getting ordered, trailers are getting stocked, and race teams are getting set to embark on another racing season in the Midwest. With the anticipation building now more than ever during the offseason, we are excited to announce K & S Ford has joined forces with the MARS Late Model Tour for 2026.
At K & S Ford it is their mission to be the automotive home of drivers in the Fairbury, Illinois area. They provide a vast selection of new and used vehicles, exceptional car care, and customer service with a smile! Their showroom has many new Ford models, while they also keep a great stock of used cars, trucks, and SUVs in inventory. With competitive prices offered on every pre-owned model for sale on their lot, you won't find a reason to visit any other dealership in Fairbury. K & S has been family owned and operated for over 65 years.
“Continuing to build our tours by adding partners that share the same values as ours was a big objective over the winter” said series director Jonathan Clayton. “We are excited to have owners Dave & Kitty Tredennick as big supporters of the MARS tour and look forward to seeing them at the track this season to root on their grandson Caden McWhorter as he chases the Sunoco Rookie of the Year title.”
Check out K & S Ford’s inventory at their Fairbury, Illinois location on North 7th Street, or view their new and used inventory online at kandsford.com.
The 2026 MARS Late Model season kicks off with The Nippy 50 at Maquoketa Speedway! An open practice session will be held on Thursday, April 2, with complete shows on Friday & Saturday, April 3-4, paying $7,500-to-win / $1,000-to-start on Friday and $15,000-to-win / $2,000-to-start on Saturday.
