Mitchell Scores Home Track Win with CCSDS at 67 Speedway

by Ben Shelton
Texarkana, Arkansas (06/23/12) – The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Model only has one event scheduled for 67 Speedway (Texarkana, Arkansas) for the 2012 campaign, and hometown favorite, Jon Mitchell, made the most of the opportunity by picking up the $2,000 win on Saturday night.

Twenty competitors registered for battle, and on the heels of his first win of the season the night before, it was Vilonia, Arkansas' competitor, Curtis Cook, who earned the New Vision Graphics Pole Award for the 35 lap feature. He was joined on the front row by Jon Kirby.

With the green flag waving on the main event Cook bolted to the top spot, while behind him a great battle raged for the second through fifth spots between Jon Kirby, Brandon Smith, Robert Baker, and Jon Mitchell. Cook endured a few early race cautions to maintain the lead, but by the midway point Mitchell, who started fourth on the grid, was applying heavy pressure for the top spot. On lap 19 Mitchell worked his way past Cook to take over the lead. Once out front he began to stretch his advantage on the field, while great racing continued to ensue throughout the field.

On lap 27 the caution would wave for third running, Robert Baker, who slide out of turn three. He would be able to rejoin the tail of the field. The final eight laps went caution free as Mitchell claimed the win, which was his first of the year and third career triumph on the tour. He was followed at the stripe by Brandon Smith, Curtis Cook, Jon Kirby, and Mason Oberkramer.
