By Ben Shelton – Locust Grove, Arkansas (08/04/17) – The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) presented by Lucas Oil thundered into Batesville Motor Speedway on Friday night. Batesville’s own Billy Moyer Jr. wired the field to pick up the $2,000 payday.
After setting fast time in qualifications and then winning his heat race, Billy Moyer Jr. locked into the New Vision Graphics Pole Position for the 30-lap feature. Current Midwest Sheet Metal Marked Man point leader, Jack Sullivan started outside of the front row.
Moyer Jr. would rocket to the lead as the race went green. The 2009 series champ would go on to race to his 16th-career win with the tour and his first of 2017.
Wendell Wallace, Robert Baker, Chandler Petty and Scott Crigler completed the Top-5 finishers.
Scott Crigler received the Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger Award for advancing from the 15th-starting spot to a 5th-place finish.
B.J. Robinson was the recipient of the Henryetta Ford Hard Luck Award after mechanical issues forced him out of the race during the early stages.
The tour turns its attention to Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) as it will sanction a pair of events at the ¼-mile bullring on August 11-12. Friday’s program will be headlined by a $2,000-to-win/$300-to-start event, while Saturday’s program will include a $2,000-to-win/$350-to-start program.
