LOCUST GROVE, Ark. — Fourth-starting B.J. Robinson took advantage of a lap 29 miscue by Billy Moyer to claim the $5,000 victory in Saturday night’s Steve Rushin Memorial finale at Batesville Motor Speedway.
Robinson collected $5,000 for his third series win of 2024 and the fifth of his career. It was his second win of the season at Batesville Motor Speedway.
“I needed to be in lapped traffic and when I seen (Billy Moyer’s stick guy) move him down in one end, he started shoving across (the track),” Robinson said in victory lane. “The lapped cars definitely helped to be able to pass (Moyer), they held him up a little bit and I was able to sneak by.”
Moyer looked to be on his way to his second victory in as many nights, but a tricky Turn One cushion caused Moyer to bobble on the 29th circuit. Robinson capitalized on the situation and then went on to pace the final seven laps.
Logan Martin, Mason Oberkramer, and Jarret Stuckey completed the top-five finishers.
Brandon Ball was the MD3 Five Star Bodies Hard Charger for passing 10 cars to finish seventh.
