Rockabilly 45 Comes to Life on Saturday Night at I-30 Speedway
Harrisburg, Arkansas (06/04/21) – Inheriting the lead, when race-long leader, Kyle Beard slowed with mechanical issues on lap 28, defending COMP Cams Super Dirt Series presented by Lucas Oil champion Logan Martin paced the final seven laps to claim the victory.
Martin’s third CCSDS triumph of 2021 was worth $3,000. The Missouri driver’s win, paired with struggles by Midwest Sheet Metal Marked Man Brian Rickman, catapulted Martin back to the top of the series standings by 10 markers.

Beard jumped to the lead as the race went green. Putnam’s debut at the ¼-mile oval ended early due to a broken driveshaft.
Meanwhile, the Trumann, Arkansas’ native, Kyle Beard looked to be on his way to his second CCSDS victory of the year at Old No. 1 Speedway before mechanical issues caused him to slow with just seven circuits remaining.
With Beard pitside, the sixth-starting Logan Martin inherited the lead and paced the final laps for his seventh-career CCSDS victory.
Eighth-starting Morgan Bagley, Scott Crigler, Hunter Rasdon, and Jon Mitchell (started 10th) rounded out the Top-5 finishers.
