COLBY FRYE SWEEPS THROUGH BEDFORD

July 18th, 2015
  Winning multiple Late Model features in one night is a rare feat at Bedford Speedway,  having happened only twice before in the history of the track.  After Friday the list is  three times  as Colby Frye swept both ends of the Late Model portion of makeup week double feature events.  Ironically, the last time Frye won at Bedford  he also had done a double, winning the Late Model and Limited events that night.
  In other action in the program made up of postponed events from both June 12 and June 19, Glen Ray held on to score his first ever Bedford Limited race, Greg Cornell won the Semi Late event, and Wayne Brenize won the 4 Cylinder race.  The Pure Stocks joined the Late Models with a pair of makeups, which were won by Brad Feight and Bill Replogle.

TROUTMAN TROMPS THE FIELD AT BEDFORD

July 11th, 2015
  DJ Troutman, who several times has led but not won this year at Bedford, rallied Friday night to score a big Late Model win at Bedford.  It was his first win of 2015 and career 7th, and came by the largest margin of any winner in a long time at the track.  Jim Radney and Ryan Greth split the exciting ARDC features, one a makeup from June 19.  Lou Wannyn continued his fine 2015 with his fourth Semi Late victory, Jonathan took both the Emod events, one a makeup from June 12, before Mike McDonald took the 4 cylinder race to cap the wild 7 event program.
     Wayne Johnson led the Late Model field to the green, but it took three tries to get the event underway.  On the third try, Johnson took the lead and pulled away from Eric Zembower and Andy Haus battling for second.  But  the man on the move was 6th starter Troutman.  He was fourth by lap two and took third on lap 4.  Two laps later he zipped Zembower and he swept by Johnson for the lead on lap 8.   Read more »

RINE TAKES BELATED BEDFORD SPEEDWEEK WIN

July 6th, 2015
 On the third try, Bedford finally got its Late Model Speedweek event completed Sunday night.  The event, rained out both during original speedweek as well as the rescheduled night on Friday,  was a $4000 40 lap win for Bedford regular  Jeff Rine.   Rine’s second win of the season was the  19th of his  Bedford career, tying him with track legend Scott Rhodes at 7th on the all time list.  In other action on the Sunday card, Brian Lowery dominated the field for his first Limited win in almost a year, while Jim Sayler and Ed Vogel rallied late to take the Semi Late and Pure Stock mains.
    DJ Troutman took off at the start to lead the 26 car field.  He had Rine in tow with Matt Cosner in hot pursuit.  The front three received a scare on lap 13 as Eric Zembower spun in front of the leaders in turn 4.  On the restart the battle at the front resumed but many eyes were on Gregg Satterlee, making a run forward after starting 12th in the field, and already up to fifth.

BEDFORD TRIES BUT LOSES TO RAIN

June 20th, 2015
For the fourth time in the last five events,  rain was the story at Bedford Speedway Friday night.  Before the stoppage, Wayne Brenize won his first career 4 Cylinder event in a makeup of the June 5 show, and Jesse Snyder took the Semi Late main.  As the ARDC event was lining up, the on and off drizzle intensified and the remainder of the program was eventually stopped.
    With the makeup 4 Cylinder event being spun off first on the program, the class, which usually runs last each night, was dealt with a fast heavy track surface for the first time.  Wayne Brenize was up to the challenge as he shot by Dave Harclerode at the start and led the distance.  He had a huge lead wiped out when the caution flew on lap 10 and then survived a last lap restart, holding off both Dacron Powell and Darren Howsare to preserve the historic win.  Casey Fleegle came from 11th to finish 4th, followed by Ryan Peer and Bailey Johnson.  Brenize and Peer won the heats back on June 5.

BEDFORD GETS RAIN AFTER GROUP WINS MAKEUP

June 14th, 2015
 For the third time in the last four weeks Bedford Speedway was weather affected Friday night.  Completed was the Pure Stock makeup from the week prior and all the qualifications for the new show, but a big storm blasted into the area during the kids candy toss, postponing the feature events until a later date.
     Travis Group was the Pure Stock winner after John Howsare failed his trip through the tech line,  his first of the season.  Howsare had started on the front row and led the distance.  Beau Aikey and a mob put on a great battle for second for the duration of the event, with Group securing that spot on lap 5.  Group was no match for Howsare who was on a rail and won easily.

HODNETT HOLDS OFF ALL STARS AT BEDFORD

June 8th, 2015
 Greg Hodnett, pretty much the recent master at the Bedford Speedway in the last few years, scored again Sunday as the All Star Sprints invaded the track.  It was Hodnett’s fifth career win in  the infrequent 410 Sprint car visits over the last few seasons.  In other action,  Lou Wannyn won the Semi Late event while Ryan Peer took the 4 Cylinder finale.
    Robbie Stillwaggen led the stout Sprint car to the green and led the first lap, but Hodnett was wound up and zoomed by on lap two.   Hodnett opened up a large lead early on as Ryan Smith and Danny Dietrich worked free of the pack.   Read more »

STICKLEY ENDS DRY SPELL BEFORE BEDFORD FALLS TO THE RAIN

June 7th, 2015
 Travis Stickley ended a long long dry spell when he scored the big Limited Late Model win at Bedford Friday night.  Three more events on the card were completed before the remainder of the program was ended by a heavy rain shower.  Vic Vandergrift  led a home team sweep of the Mid Atlantic Emod event,  Greg Dobrosky won his first ever Bedford event in the 305 Sprints and Rick Hulson repeated in the All American event.   Rain began during the pace laps for the Pure Stocks, postponing that and the 4 Cylinder events to a future program.
     Stickley fought his way by both front row starters to lead the first Limited lap, but had Troy Swindell on his tail almost instantly.  In a race which went all the way green,  Swindell was all over Stickley but could not get by.  Ralph Morgan ran down the lead pair and the three ran under a blanket for the duration.  At one point mid race,  Josh Berrier and Robby Black joined in the lead pack,  but eventually they fell back to continue their personal battle.
