COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS)
Jeremy Shaw Goes Elbows Up for CCSDS Magnolia Triumph
COLUMBUS, Miss. (09/03/23) – Overcoming a field of tough competitors along with track conditions left challenging from heavy rains in the days leading up to the event, Jeremy Shaw picked up his first-career COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Model Series victory on Sunday evening at Magnolia Motor Speedway.
The Millport, Alabama earned $5,000 for the triumph.
““Man I don’t even know what to say, this is not my kind of racetrack,” Shaw said. “I like it slick and slow and before we started tonight, I told my car owner (Jason Steele), I was like ‘Look, I’m just gonna try to stay out of the way’. We weren’t really any good last week, we hit on something tonight, kinda trying to get ready for the big race coming up in a couple weeks.”
The event drew 31 CCSDS Super Late Models to the 3/8-mile oval, and Brian Rickman earned the NewVisionCustomShirts.com Pole Award for the feature with Jeremy Shaw joining him on the front row for the event, which was shortened to 30 laps due to the challenging track surface.
The first circuit was led by third-starting B.J. Robinson before Jeremy Shaw powered to the lead on the second lap. Once out front Shaw kept his elbows up to claim his first-ever series win.
Eleventh-starting Evan Ellis finished second, while Brian Rickman, B.J. Robinson, and Trey Mills completed the Top-5 finishers.
