LOCUST GROVE, Ark. — Tony Jackson Jr. was victorious with the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series on Saturday night at Batesville Motor Speedway claiming the $12,000 top prize in the Bad Boy 98.
Racing to his first series win of the year and the eighth of his career, Tony Jackson Jr. outlasted challenges from Billy Moyer to take the victory by 1.314 seconds in the 68-lap affair.
“I knew I needed to pace the race, but I also needed to save my tires,” Jackson said. “I didn’t know what the hell to do, to be honest with you, but thankfully it all worked out for our team.”
In a feature that saw the first 46 circuits run caution free, Tony Jackson Jr. led every lap of the feature from the pole.
Third-starting Billy Moyer finished second with David Breazeale, 14th-starting Joseph Joiner, and 11th-starting Timothy Culp rounding out the top five.
