Jared Landers Finishes 4th at Batesville; LOLMDS Double Dip Next

by Ben Shelton
BATESVILLE, Arkansas (April 21) - Jared Landers went into battle at his home track over the weekend in the annual Bad Boy 98 and came away a top-five-finish in his Crop Production Services #777 Mark Martin Automotive/Sweet Bloomquist/Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model.

Staying close to home, Jared Landers made the short trip to Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas) on Friday night for the opening round of the annual Bad Boy 98. Drawing 45-cars for the two-day, special, which was sanctioned by both the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) and the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS), Landers captured a heat race victory sending him into the A-Main on Saturday night.

Jared battled near the front of the field during the early stages of the $20,000-to-win A-Main, before a flat tire forced him pit side. He would rejoin the tail of the field before rebounding to a 4th place finish behind race winner, Scott Bloomquist, Earl Pearson Jr., and Don O’Neal with Brandon Sheppard coming in 5th.

“Obviously I really wanted to win the race, but after having to go to the tail of the field, I’m really pleased with our finish,” said Landers. “The track was really challenging all weekend, and it definitely kept me guessing. We’ll take this solid point’s night and head on to the next event.”

Jared remains in third in the LOLMDS point standings. Full results from this event are available at www.LucasDirt.com.

Up next for the Batesville, Arkansas-pilot is a LOLMDS doubleheader in Ohio and Maryland. Action opens on Friday night at Sharon Speedway (Hartford, Ohio) before heading to Hagerstown Speedway (Hagerstown, Maryland) on Saturday evening.
