Sullivan Surges to COMP Cams Super Dirt Series Win at the Ridge

Paragould, Arkansas (06/0916) – The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) presented by Lucas Oil rolled into Crowley’s Ridge Raceway on Thursday evening, where, Greenbrier, Arkansas’ racer, Jack Sullivan charged to the $2,000 victory.

Kyle Beard was the New Vision Graphics Pole Sitter. As the 35-lap affair went green, Beard and Hunter Rasdon began to battle side-by-side for the lead.

Rasdon took over sole possession of the top spot on lap 6. The 4th-starting Sullivan worked past Beard just past the halfway point for the runner-up spot, and on lap-23 Sullivan took over the lead from Rasdon.
Jack Sullivan would go on to lead the final twelve laps to claim his 15th-career series victory and his second of the 2016 season. Beard, Rasdon, Jonathan Rowan, and Brandon Smith completed the Top-5 finishers.

Shane Stephens received the Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger Award for advancing from the 21st-starting spot to a 12th-place finish. Hockley, Texas racer, Austin Theiss received the Henryetta Ford Hard Luck Award. Theiss ran in the Top-5 until late in the race, when he made contact with the front stretch wall.
