Jackson Triumphs in Cotton Pickin' at Magnolia
(Columbus, MS - October 14, 2024) – The Mississippi Street Stock Series, presented by Jackson Industrial Services sanctioned by Crate Racin' USA, witnessed a dominant performance by Norco, Louisiana's Caiden Jackson as he stormed to victory on Saturday night during the annual Cotton Pickin' event at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi.
Jackson, who started from the outside of the front row, led an impressive 23 of the 25 laps in the feature event, showcasing both skill and control on the tricky 3/8-mile oval. The victory earned him a $2,000 payday that came with the prestigious win.
Although Jackson was the dominant driver for most of the race, pole sitter Hayden Moran did manage to lead two laps, but Jackson quickly regained control, setting the pace for the remainder of the race. His strategic driving and consistent lap times allowed him to pull away and secure the victory by the checkered flag.
The event was part of the Mississippi Street Stock Series, which has continued to draw fierce competition and top-tier talent from across the region. Jackson’s victory is a testament to his skill and determination in a fiercely competitive field.
