Jeff Rine and Kenny Miller were the big winners in racing action at Bedford on Friday night. Rine was victorious in the 30 lap Benny Foor Memorial Late Model feature event. Miller won in the first 2026 visit from the Wingless USAC Sprints feature.
Briggs Danner took an early lead sprinting away from the field. Danner managed a full straightaway lead but his fantasy run came to an end on lap 23 with an impact to the front stretch wall sending him flipping into turn 1. Action was halted under red. Miller inherited the lead following the caution and parked it in victory lane on lap 25. Miller was followed by Christian Bruno, Kyle Spence, Steven Drevicki, and Joe Kata.

Jeff Rine, the current Bedford Speedway all-time leading feature winner, added another win to his total with a late rally. Matt Sponaugle was the early leader and held on for the first 20 laps. Rine fell back and closed on the leader as Sponaugle got mired in lap traffic. As the race passed halfway, Rine closed in to snatch the lead on lap 21. Just a few laps later Gregg Satterlee, originally having started 9th, was able to overcome Sponaugle for second place and chased Rine to the finish line. Rine and Satterlee were followed by Matt Sponaugle, Matt Cosner and Bryan Bernheisel.

The second start brought Denver Dishong to the front where he defended the lead throughout the race fighting off a challenge by Madison Miller on lap 10. A caution brought Dishong back to the front but only until he was passed by Charlie Clise who came from 9th place to take the checkered flag on lap 15. Clise was followed by Denver Dishong, Derrick Hinish, Dominic Weyandt and Madison Miller.
