The Bedford Speedway concluded its 19th race of the 2026 season on Friday night with a visit from the Modified Mafia Tour accompanied by the Semi Lates, 4-Cylinders, and Crown Vics. George Dixon picked up a huge win in the 25 Lap Modified event and earned his second Bedford Speedway victory of the year. Joining Dixon in the winner’s circle Friday night was Kyle Weyant in the Semi Lates, Wayne Brenize in the 4-Cylinders, and Charlie Clise in the Crown Vics.
David Stremme held off a tenacious George Dixon for the first 5 laps of the Modified event. Dixon was closing in on Stremme and watching his every move waiting for his chance to pass. Dixon saw an opportunity coming off of turn 4 and managed to get to the inside of Stremme going down the front stretch. He dug in going into turn 1 and stayed low, sneaking by Stremme. Dixon put the pedal to the metal after that and couldn’t be stopped. It didn’t take long for Dixon and Stremme to catch up to the back of the field, by halfway Dixon had already weaved his way through a handful of lapped cars with Stremme sticking close behind. For a moment on Lap 16 Dixon was held up by lapped traffic and Stemme had a clear shot at catching him, but it wasn’t meant to be as Dixon pulled away once more. Two late event cautions were called but even on the restarts Stremme couldn’t find his footing enough to challenge Dixon. Dixon took the checkered flag followed by David Stremme, Logan Roberson, Michael Altobelli, and Chris Arnold. Read more »
