Tyler Stevens Capitalizes for CCSDS Bad Boy 98 Opener Win
LOCUST GROVE, Ark. — Capitalizing on leader Scott Crigler’s flat left-rear tire on lap 23, Tyler Stevens went on to register the $5,000 victory with the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) on Friday evening during the opening round of the Bad Boy 98 weekend at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Ark.).
Stevens, who led the first 14 laps, before slipping high on the exit of turn four, registered his second win of the year and sixth of his career.
"I just hit my marks, and I knew if I hit my marks and did my job in the seat things would turn out well," Stevens said. "This thing, all night from the get-go, was really, really good. I've had a lot of help this week and getting back on track. Hopefully this will be another good week."
Eighth-starting Stormy Scott raced to a second-place finish. Meanwhile, in his Batesville Motor Speedway debut, Payton Freeman advanced from the 10th-starting spot to finish third with sixth-starting Billy Moyer fourth, and Brian Rickman in fifth.
The event drew 41 entries, and Tyler Stevens was not only the feature winner, but also the Mark Martin Automotive Fast Qualifier and the NewVisionCustomShirts.com Pole Sitter.
On Saturday, May 11 the weekend concludes with a 68-lap finale, which posts a $12,000-to-win / $600-to-start finale.
