Wallace Rumbles to Ridge Checkers with COMP Cams Super Dirt Series

Paragould, Arkansas (07/31/15) –Wendell Wallace topped a thrilling COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) presented by Lucas Oil event at Crowley’s Ridge Raceway (Paragould, Arkansas) on Friday evening.

The Batesville, Arkansas veteran raced to his series’ all-time best, nineteenth career win with the $2,000 victory. He outdueled New Vision Graphics Pole Sitter, Hunter Rasdon and a host of others to score the triumph.

In an event that was slowed by three caution flags for minor incidents as well as a red flag for Allen Tippen, who sailed out of turn one on a lap 4 restart, a trio of drivers battled incessantly for the top spot. Wallace paced the first thirteen circuits before Rasdon took control to lead the next four laps. Louisiana’s B.J. Robinson enjoyed a stint at the front of the field for laps 18 through 25 before Wallace reassumed the point for the final ten circuits.

At the line Wallace claimed the victory by a narrow margin over Rasdon. After winning a b-main, Kyle Beard rocketed from the 15th starting spot to record a 3rd place finish at the checkered flag. B.J. Robinson and Jack Sullivan completed the top five finishers.

Allen Tippen won GRT Race Cars Heat Race #1 with Wendell Wallace winning Allen Manufacturing Heat Race #2.  Hunter Rasdon raced to victory in ROCKHARD Powder Coating Heat Race #3, while B.J. Robinson won Woodco Inc. Heat Race #4. 

The Boston’s Sports Bar and Restaurants B-Mains were topped by Kyle Beard and Mason Oberkramer.

The Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger Award went to Kyle Beard, who passed twelve cars on his way to a 3rd place finish.  Allen Tippen was the recipient of the Wilwood Tough Break of the Race Award after a wild ride out of turn one on the fourth lap of the feature ended his night.
