What won the race: Taking command when race-long leader Scott Crigler entered turn one too high on a restart, Stormy Scott of Las Cruces, N.M., led the final 20 laps at Batesville Motor Speedway for a $12,000 Comp Cams Super Dirt Series victory. The fourth-starting Scott drove his new Category 5 Race Car to victory in the 68-lap finale of the Bad Boy 98, taking the checkers 0.386 of a second ahead of Spencer Hughes while Crigler faded to finish fifth.
Quotable: "I knew I could get going good on the (restarts), but I'd have to kind of brake over there for (leader Scott Crigler)," Scott said. "I just knew that if I could ever get out in front in clean air, (that) I wasn't having to drive my race car that hard. I kind of was using him as pace. I honestly knew if I could get out there that I had a good shot at (winning). Just because this thing was so easy to drive and so good. On that (lap-48) restart, it fired like crazy and I went into one and it stuck."
Key notes: Stormy Scott developed the Category 5 car with crew chief Jason Durham. ... Scott Crigler led 48 laps but slipped back after giving up the lead to Scott on a restart. ... Payton Freeman made a third-to-first move on the lap-27 restart, but it was erased by a caution flag. He settled for third. ... Billy Moyer spun out of fifth on lap 48 in hitting the turn-two wall after an apparent scrape with Ashton Winger. The two had tangled the previous night and, during the caution period, Moyer caught Winger's car and made repeated contact with the two eventually banging together near the inside wall entering turn one. It appeared officials sent Moyer off the track. ... In the most serious of six slowdowns drew a red flag when a dozen midpack cars were caught up in a turn-four pileup shortly after a lap-27 restart with points leader Morgan Bagley, Logan Martin, Jon Kirby, B.J. Robinson and Trey Mills among those involved. ... A lap-28 caution appeared for another turn-four scramble when Kyle Beard had issues. ... Charlie Cole slowed to draw a lap-27 yellow. ... Friday's winner Tyler Stevens retired after a single lap, drawing the first caution.
On the move: Clay Stuckey of Shreveport, La., started 18th and finished sixth.
