COSNER GAINS REDEMPTION ON THE BEDFORD STAGE

May 9th, 2015
Only a week after losing a career first  feature win on the last lap, Matt Cosner  recovered for the big Late Model win at Bedford Friday night.  Cosner became the 134th different Late Model winner  in the long history of the track and the fourth different winner in 2015.  Donnie Farlling ended a long dry spell with his second career Limited feature win, while Steve Dixon also scored a career first in Emod action.  Other winners in the six division show were Lou Wannyn (Semi Late), Rick Hulson (All American), and Fast Eddie Vogel in the Pure Stock finale.
    After a wild start which saw Chuck Clise get crossed up in front of the whole field, causing everyone to scatter without any contact, Cosner emerged with the lead.  DJ Troutman came from 4th to second and was all over Cosner almost from the start but could not pass. Read more »

RINE USES ALL 30 LAPS TO WIN BEDFORD

May 2nd, 2015

Jeff Rine needed all 30 laps to claim his first 2015 Late Model win at Bedford Friday night.  It was the second time in two seasons that Rine pulled off a last lap pass for the win, ironically, both times he has denied his victim a first career win.  Last year he bested Chad Hollenbeck at the line.  This time it was Matt Cosner.  It was Rine’s 18th career Bedford win, moving him into a tie with track legends Tom Clise and Bob Salathe for 8th on the all time list.

 

   Dave Brown became a two time 2015 Semi Late winner with similar late race drama, his move coming with two to go.  Sean Kirkpatrick won the 305 sprint event, Jonathan Taylor took another Emod win and Bailey Johnson closed the evening with a 4 Cylinder triumph. Read more »

Matt Parks, who had an off 2014 season, returned to form as he devastated the Late Model field Friday night at Bedford. It was the first 2015 win for the former track champion and came by a huge margin over the chasing field. In other action in the packed six division show,

Josh Berrier scored his first win in several years in Limited action, as did Dave Brown in Semi Late racing and Ed Vogel rallied late to win the Pure Stock race. Vic Vandergrift took his first ever trip to the stage in the E-Mod event, before Dacron Powell took his career first win in the 4 Cylinder finale. By the luck of the draw in the early season event, Matt Parks started the Late Model event from the pole. He rushed by fellow front row starter Andy Haus at the start and never looked back. Haus found himself totally occupied with Jeff Rine for the first ten laps of the event until Rine’s car broke at that point, bringing out the event’s only yellow. Read more »
