BEEBE, AK (May 10, 2011) - There's no rest for the weary when it comes to the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) as fresh off a three day swing, the tour will invade Louisiana and Arkansas for a double header this weekend, May 13th-14th. Last weekend's events were memorable to say the least as hard nose racing, hurt feelings, and great racing reigned supreme. Colorado's Kelly Boen claimed the opening round win at Tri State Speedway, while 2009 CCSDS Champion, Billy Moyer Jr., doubled up with wins at Thunderbird Speedway and Crawford County Speedway. On the heels of his wins Moyer Jr. leads the points into this weekend's events with a four marker advantage over Kyle Beard as Bill Frye, Jon Mitchell, and Austin Rettig round out the top five in the standings. The next five in the standings include Gary Christian, Johnny Virden, Dewaine Hottinger, Brandon Smith, and Jon Kirby. The Kuntz & Co. Rookie of the Year battle continues to be dead-locked with Curtis Cook and Shane Harris tied for the lead. Keith Lawson is just four points removed from making it a three way tie, and Ian Samuel is currently fourth in the standings after motor woes plagued him last weekend Other drivers expected to possibly be in action this weekend include Jeff Sloan, Terry Henson, Wesley Crutchfield, Clay Fisher, BJ Robinson, Ross Camponovo, and more. On Friday night, May 13th the CCSDS tour will make its first of three 2011 appearances at USA Speedway (Sterlington, Louisiana) with a $2,000 to win/$300 to start, 35 lap event.
