Wendell Wallace of Batesville, Ark., raced to his second Comp Cams Series victory of the season and 14th overall in Saturday's 35-lap feature, topping Timothy Culp of West Monroe, La., for a $2,000 victory at the 3/8-mile oval. | Slideshow
Behind Culp, Bill Frye of Greenbrier, Ark., finished third with reigning series champion Brandon Smith of Floral, Ark., fourth. Jon Kirby of Russellville, Ark., whose backup car was driven by Frye, rounded out the top five.
Wallace first cracked the top five by lap 10 and continued his march until overtaking early leader Frye on lap 19.
Once out front Wallace set sail as the battle behind him heated up with Frye, Kirby, Smith and Culp all waging war for the second spot. When the checkered flag dropped Culp was the driver to follow Wallace across the finish line.
