CCSDS Season Finale nixed by rain
By Ben Shelton (Kilgore, TX) -- Much of the first half of the 2019 COMP Cams Super Dirt Series presented by Lucas Oil season was plagued by rain, so it only makes sense that the season has been bookended with a rained-out finale. Such is the case for this Saturday’s scheduled Topless Turkey Nationals at Texas’ LoneStar Speedway. Due to a forecasted weekend washout, the $5,000-to-win event has been canceled and will not be made up.
As a result, Prattsville, Arkansas driver, Timothy Culp is officially the 2019 COMP Cams Super Dirt Series Champion. Additionally, Alton, Missouri’s Scott Crigler is the 2019 Midwest Sheet Metal Rookie of the Year.

“You hate to end the year with two rainouts but Mother Nature got us at the beginning of the month at Jackson Motor Speedway and now it got us at LoneStar Speedway,” said first-year CCSDS CEO Chris Sullivan. “Congratulations to Timothy Culp on his first-ever COMP Cams Super Dirt Series championship as well as Scott Crigler on his Rookie of the Year title.
“Thanks so much to each-and-every person, who supported the tour in 2019. We are finalizing the 2020 schedule now and hope to release it in the week. There’s a lot of exciting things in store for fans and racers alike next season.”
Timothy Culp scored the title by 23 points over Missouri’s Tony Jackson Jr.
Brian Rickman, B.J. Robinson, Morgan Bagley, Kyle Beard, Hunter Rasdon, Scott Crigler, Chad Mallett, and David Payne rounded out the Top-10 in the final standings.
Meanwhile, Crigler clinched the Midwest Sheet Metal Rookie of the Year Championship over Chad Mallett.
The 2020 COMP Cams Super Series slate is expected to be released in the coming week.
