LOCUST GROVE, Ark. (08/17/23) – He had to wait three weeks to seal the deal, but Scott Crigler capitalized on his front row starting spot to snare his first-career COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Model victory on Thursday evening at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Ark.).
The $5,000-to-win feature was delayed from July 29 after rain struck the 3/8-mile oval following the completion of heat races found being NewVisionCustomShirts.com Pole Sitter, Hunter Rasdon and Scott Crigler bringing the field to the green flag for the 40-lap finale.
