Harrisburg, Arkansas (09/10/11) – The Cams Super Dirt Series hosted its richest event of the 2011 season over the weekend as the 1st Annual Rockabilly 45 was held at Northeast Arkansas Speedway (Harrisburg, Arkansas), and it was Jesse Stovall, who conquered the competition to claim the $5,000 payday.
With 26 Super Late Models on hand for the event it was Jesse Stovall who earned the JFR Graphics Pole Award for the feature via preliminary action with his teammate RC Whitwell starting alongside. As the race went green it was Stovall, who moved to the lead with Whitwell, Brandon Smith, Jeff Floyd, and Dane Dacus in tow.
As drivers moved around the track trying to find the best groove, a pair of top five runners would fall victim to the thin line on the high side as Dane Dacus and Kyle Beard slipped off the top of the race track on separate occasions to relinquish their positions.
As the race progressed Stovall would establish his dominance at the front as Floyd moved into the second spot with seventh starting, Will Vaught, up to the third position. Stovall would prove to be too much for the field as he claimed his first COMP Cams Super Dirt Series of the 2011 season. The win came over Floyd, Vaught, Tony Jackson Jr., and Curtis Cook.
The event got underway on Friday night with preliminary action. The format for the event featured a unique series of heat races, where drivers accumulated points between the two events to determine their Saturday night starting positions. The first round of heat race action saw the Rocket Chassis First Heat won by Will Vaught with Jesse Stovall winning the RacingJunk.com Second Heat Race, while Dewaine Hottinger won the Woodco, Inc. Third Heat Race, and Kyle Beard topped the Racing Head Service Fourth Heat Race.
The second round of heat race action was highlighted by Dane Dacus winning the Rocket Chassis First Heat, while Brandon Smith won the RacingJunk.com Second Heat Race, Curtis Cook was victorious in the Woodco, Inc. Third Heat Race, and Wendell Wallace won his second heat of the night in the Racing Head Service Fourth Heat Race.
The Boston’s Sports Bars & Restaurants B-Mains were topped by Jamie Dacus and Jon Mitchell
Jon Kirby was the recipient of the Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger Award after charging from his 19th starting spot to a 9th place finish.
The Quarter Master Hard Luck Award went to Dewaine Hottinger, who fell out of the race early with mechanical issues.
The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series will have a three week hiatus before returning to action on Saturday, October 1st at I-30 Speedway (Little Rock, Arkansas) with a $2,000-to-win/$400-to-start event. For more information on the facility, please visit www.I-30Speedway.com.
