Wendell Wallace Collects $2,000 for CCSDS Win at Ark-La-Tex Speedway
by Ben Shelton
VIVIAN, Louisiana (May 5) – The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Models invaded Ark-La-Tex Speedway on Saturday night for a $2,000-to-win event at the 1/4 mile, high-banked oval, which is known for producing great racing action. Once again the track delivered incredible action as Wendell Wallace took the lead late in the event to score his first win of the season and sixteenth career CCSDS triumph.
It was a record-breaking night for the CCSDS as forty-four entries from six states crowded the pit area, which marked the largest car count ever for a standalone event for the series. Tommy Surrett advanced from the seventh starting spot in his heat race to lock into the New Vision Graphics Pole Position for the 35 lap finale and was joined on the front row by Clarksdale, Mississippi's Ross Camponovo.
Surrett broke to the lead at the onset of the feature with Camponovo, Wendell Wallace, Ronny Adams, and Jon Mitchell applying heavy pressure. With Surrett at the point two and three wide racing reigned supreme throughout the field until the race slowed for its only caution on lap 8, when Timothy Culp spun his entry in turn one. The caution, which fell in the series' third point's event of the season, marked the first yellow in a feature event in the 2013 season for the CCSDS.
As the race went back green Surrett held the point until Ross Camponovo shot past for the top spot near the event's midway point. Camponovo held onto the lead until lap 31, when it was Wendell Wallace, who took over the lead. Wallace went on to lead the final four laps to record the victory as he became the third different winner in three events with the CCSDS. Camponovo, Surrett, Ray Moore, and Billy Moyer rounded out the top five finishers.
