HUBBARD TAKES BEDFORD ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

July 14th, 2018

    Austin Hubbard played a waiting game for 45 laps before rising to win the big 82nd anniversary event at Bedford Friday night.   It was the third career Bedford triumph, all coming in special events, but his first in over five years at the track.  It was worth $8300 to the Delaware racer.  In other action, big 2018 winners Mike Altobelli and Josh Frankenberry won the accompanying EMod and Pure Stock events.

     After the pill draw for the lineup,  Alex Ferree and Nathan Lasalle brought the Late Model field to the green.  Ferree shot ahead at the start and immediately displayed dominance over the field.  Ross Robinson got by Lasalle for second on lap 4 and sixth starter Austin Hubbard followed him by into third on lap 5.  Huibbard got by Robinson  on lap 7 and the group ran in that order at the front until one of the most bizarre events in Bedford History occurred on lap 11.

July 7th, 2018

    By the luck of the draw, Jeff Rine started on the pole in the Late Model 30 lapper.  He got the drop on Dylan Yoder at the start and pretty much left the field in his wake.  After two quick cautions in the first two laps, the field went to lap 10 before slowing again.  Rine got away as Matt Cosner moved in to battle Yoder.     Cosner got by Yoder on a lap 10 restart, but the man on the move was Jared Miley, who was already up to third after passing Yoder on lap 12.     Read more »
