By Ben Shelton (Paragould, AR) -- By a mere 0.08 of a second Jack Sullivan scored the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series presented by Lucas Oil victory on Friday night at Crowley’s Ridge Raceway
The current Midwest Sheet Metal Marked Man won a drag race back to the line over Kyle Beard to score his third series win of the season.
Sullivan led the first five laps from the New Vision Graphics Pole Position before Kyle the third-starting Beard took control on lap 6. Beard paced the field for the next 28 circuits.
Behind the leaders great racing reined supreme with three and four wide racing throughout the field.
The top two staged a great side-by-side battle on the final lap with Sullivan winning the race to the checkered flag by a matter of inches over Beard. Billy Moyer, Gavin Landers, and Patrik Daniel completed the Top-5 finishers.
The Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger was Gavin Landers, who advanced six spots to finish fourth.
Hunter Rasdon received the Henryetta Ford Hard Luck Award after an encounter with tractor tires ended his night.
