Neil Baggett Bests Opening Night CCSDS Competition at the Gumbo Nationals
By Ben Shelton(Greenville, MS) -- Neil Baggett narrowly escaped near disaster in the closing laps of Friday night’s 14th annual Gumbo Nationals opener to pocket the $4,000 winner’s check with the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series presented by Lucas Oil.
After leading throughout the 30 lapper Baggett as well as second running, Brian Rickman were collected in a turn-two melee with lapped traffic with just six laps remaining. Baggett and Rickman each spun to miss the tangled lapped cars, and as a result were reinstated to their running positions.
