Robert Baker picked up $2,000 for his victory in Harrisburg, Ark.
What won the race: Robert Baker of Bryant, Ark., overtook race-long leader Billy Moyer with a daring third-to-first move on a lap-11 restart and grabbed a $2,000 Comp Cams Super Dirt Series victory at Old No. 1 Speedway. The ninth-starting Baker earned his fourth career series victory in the 35-lapper.
Key notes: Baker's previous series victory came July 6, 2013, at Greenville (Miss.) Speedway. ... Polesitter Hunter Rasdon was knocked out of contention with an early flat tire; he ended up ninth. ... Runner-up Billy Moyer, who started outside the front row, made his first start of the season. ... A Jon Mitchell rollover accident on the 23rd lap of the feature drew a red flag when he went over turn one; he was checked out by medics on site for evaluation. ... In heat action, Gavin Landers wasn't injured but his car suffered significant damage when his car's throttle hung and he went over turn three while running second in an incident he called on Facebook "the worst wreck I ever had." The car came to rest atop concrete and into the catch fence on the chute to the pits. ... Former tour champ Kyle Beard had problems with his primary car and went to a backup after hot laps; he finished fourth in the main event.
