Vivian, Louisiana (05/05/12) – Morgan Bagley led flag-to-flag in Saturday night’s caution free, COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Model feature at Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana) to claim his third career triumph with the tour to the tune of $2,000.
A stacked, regional field of 36 competitors were on hand for the tour’s only appearance at the 1/4 mile oval in 2012. Rob Litton led the way in preliminary action by advancing from his ninth starting position to claim his heat race win, which locked him into the JFR Graphics Pole Position for the 35 lap feature. He was joined on the front row by Morgan Bagley, and when the green flag dropped it was Bagley, who took command of the lead with Litton in pursuit.
While Bagley slowly inched away from the pack a great battle raged behind him for the second spot as Litton, Kyle Cummings, and Chris Wall diced for position. As that trio battled for the runner-up spot around the racy oval, a driver on the move was 12th starting Billy Moyer Jr, who found himself into the top five by the race’s midway point. He would go on to race his way into the second spot, but would be unable to catch the leader as Morgan Bagley went on to claim the win. He was followed across the line by Moyer Jr., Cummings, Wall, and Litton.
GRT Race Cars Heat Race #1 was won by Morgan Bagley with Trey Beene winning NEA Super Gas/Killer Coatings Heat Race #2. RiceTec Heat Race #3 saw Rob Litton charge from his ninth starting position to claim the victory, while Chris Wall won Racing Head Service Heat Race #4.
The Boston’s Sports Bar & Restaurants b-mains were won by Kevin Sitton and Johnny Virden.
The Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger was Billy Moyer Jr., who advanced ten spots to a 2nd place finish in the main event, and Kyle Beard received the Quarter Master Hard Luck Award after seeing his powerplant expire in heat race action, ending his night early.
Next weekend, May 11th-12th, the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series thunders into Thunderbird Speedway (Muskogee, Oklahoma) on Friday night before moving to Crawford County Speedway (Van Buren, Arkansas) on Saturday evening.
