Night 1 Batesville Motor Speedway results featured qualifying and heat races.

So far it appears Tim McCreadie and Jimmy Owens will be the cars to beat tomorrow. Each of them set fast times in their qualifying groups. They then went out and won their heat races as well.

Tim McCreadie entered turn 3 higher than anyone in the field. That was in route to setting his fast time. Which was later out-paced by Jimmy Owens in group B.

Tim McCreadie was one of the few cars that stuck to the highside of the racetrack in his heat. As everyone else raced to the bottom on corner entry, he was content running around the top.

Don O’Neal started on pole in heat number two. However, he was a late bloomer to the bottom of the racetrack. Dirt late model drivers rolled by him on the bottom. Once he migrated against the inside wall, he maintained position. Jack Sullivan went on to pick up the heat two win. Don O’Neal settled in 3rd.

Gregg Satterlee took the lead early in heat number three. The track continued to look more and more racey as the night went on. Jimmy Owens remained patient after losing the lead. He took back the lead with ease out of turn two, slipping under Satterlee on exit. Jimmy Owens grabbed heat 3 victory.

Josh Richards won the fourth and final heat. Arkansas driver Billy Moyer Jr was within striking distance for a good portion of the heat. Though, he has nothing for Richards. The #1 drove off to the win.

As the night went on the track changed more and more. Richards ran the middle to the bottom. Other drivers found themselves searching around the track for grip. The track will change a lot in the course of 98-laps tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night the track will host the second portion of the show. Saturday night will feature two B-Mains as well as the 98-lap A main.

Tim McCreadie will start on pole for the Bad Boy 98 at Batesville Motor Speedway. Jimmy Owens will fill in the outside row. Jack Sullivan and Josh Richards will complete the second row. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series drivers will take the green on Saturday, after 98 laps, someone will leave with $20,000.

Billy Moyer Jr will start 8th. Billy Moyer Sr, out of retirement, will start 15th. View the rest of the starting lineups for tomorrow, posted below.
