Jesse Stovall Claims COMP Cams Super Dirt Series Checkers at Thunderbird
by Ben Shelton
Muskogee, Oklahoma (05/11/12) – The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Model invaded the historic, 1/2 mile oval at Thunderbird Speedway (Muskogee, Oklahoma) on Friday night, and it was Jesse Stovall, who topped a field of 31 competitors to register the $2,000 victory.
Despite threatening conditions the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series was able to host its sixth event of the 2012 season, and by the time that the checkered flag dropped, the tour had seen its fifth different winner of the year.
Via preliminary action Jesse Stovall earned the New Vision Graphics Pole Position for the 30 lap feature with Terry Phillips joining him on the front row. As the race went green Phillips would jump to the lead over Stovall with Phillips leading the first lap before Stovall inched ahead to lead the second lap. By lap three Phillips was back to the lead, when the caution flew for Johnny Virden, Dewaine Hottinger, and Larry Campbell, who all tangled.
On the ensuing restart Phillips would motor back to the lead with Stovall, Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, Justin Asplin, and Curtis Cook in pursuit. Phillips would maintain the top spot until a series of cautions slowed the action on lap 23. The first caution saw Jon Kirby spinning as he collected Kyle Beard. The second caution would see third running Ronny Lee Hollingsworth slow with mechanical issues, ending his night.
When the green flag flew again it would be leader, Terry Phillips, who would experience his own mechanical issues as he slowed to the infield, allowing Stovall to inherit the lead. Jesse Stovall went on to lead the last six laps on his way to his first CCSDS tour win of 2012 and the fifth of his career. He was followed across the finish line by Justin Asplin, Curtis Cook, Robert Baker, and Jon Mitchell
