COLUMBUS, Miss. — The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series presented by Lucas Oil kicked off the Clash at The Mag on Friday night at Magnolia Motor Speedway and it was rising star Wil Herrington who stormed to his first-career series win.
The Georgia driver bagged $5,000 for what also marked his first super late model triumph.
“I love this place. We’ve got a really good track record of coming here,” Herrington said. “This is awesome … my first-ever super win here at Magnolia, this is awesome.”
Polesitter Tyler Stevens led the first four circuits before the third-starting Herrington took control on lap five.
Herrington paced the next 16 revolutions around the three-eighths-mile oval before Cade Dillard briefly took the lead on lap 22.
Herrington stormed back to the lead on the 23rd lap and paced the closing circuits to claim his first CCSDS triumph by 1.796 seconds over Dillard.
Joseph Joiner, Josh Putnam, and Mason Oberkramer rounded out the top five.
