CHATHAM, La. — The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series brought the curtain down on the season with the 31st annual Spooky 50 at Super Bee Speedway on Saturday night, where Jon Mitchell raced to his first series win since Aug. 1, 2014.
Mitchell made a clean sweep of the night’s program to snare the $5,000 top prize at the Louisiana oval. Meanwhile, with a sixth-place finish Logan Martin was crowned the series champion for the third time in his career.
“We’ve been on a dry spell for sure. I knew we had one coming here before long, we got a pretty good car here now,” Mitchell said. “This thing started getting one-lane there and I just tried not to mess up and take care of my right-rear tire. Man it feels good, I’m tellin’ ya it’s been a while, it makes you question yourself … man, to hang that big check in the shop is bigger than the money, to tell you the truth.”
Mitchell and Morgan Bagley brought the field to the green flag with Michell jumping to an early lead that he would never surrender. Bagley pursued the Texas racer throughout the 40-lap finale before settling for a second-place finish 0.713 seconds back. Clay Stuckey, Kyle Beard, and Shane Hebert rounded out the top five.
The win was the sixth series triumph of Mitchell’s career.
Kyle Beard was the MD Five Star Bodies Hard Charger Award recipient after advancing from 10th to fourth in the finale.
West Plains, Mo. competitor Martin crossed the finish line in sixth to clinch his third series title.
Brandon Ball officially claimed the 2024 Midwest Sheet Metal Rookie of the Year honor.
