B.J. Robinson Bests CCSDS Bad Boy Batesville Opener
Bad Boy 98 $12,000-to-win Finale on Saturday Night
LOCUST GROVE, Ark. (05/05/23) – From the seventh-starting spot B.J. Robinson powered to the lead on lap 19 and went on to claim the $5,000 COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Models victory on Friday night at Batesville Motor Speedway.
“I knew it was gonna be hard, I thought I put on softer left side tires than most everybody,” Robinson said in FloRacing Victory Lane. “I knew if I could just bide my time from the start, if I could hang my left sides right there by the wall, then I knew I could get by them and lapped cars was a little bit hairy there. All-in-all it was a good race, can’t say enough about these cars here, we’ve been working real hard and things have finally paid off.”
Defending series champ, Brian Rickman paced the first 18 circuits before Robinson took control.
Following Robinson and Rickman across the finish line in the caution-free affair was Kyle Beard, Brian Rickman, and Jon Mitchell.
Kyle Beard picked up the MD3 Bodies Hard Charger for advancing eight spots to finish third.
Robinson’s win was the third of his career with the series and made him the sixth different winner in six series events so far this year.
Action continues on Saturday night with a complete $12,000-to-win COMP Cams Super Dirt Series Super Late Model program, which also include complete programs for IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, Hobby Stocks, and Arkansas Factory Stocks.
