KNAUB RETURNS FOR REPEAT ACT AT BEDFORD

September 19th, 2015
 Having won the biggest Late Model event of the year at Bedford on Labor Day,  Gene Knaub returned for more and achieved the same results as Fallfest kicked off on Friday night.   And for the second show in a row Knaub’s win was in dominating fashion as he ran off from the strong field.  It was his third Bedford win of the season, the opener, the closer and the Labor Day event.
    Matt Sponaugle led the Late Model field to the green but it was outside starter DJ Myers who shot by for the lead at the start.  Knaub followed Myers to the front and was all over him for the lead as the field completed the first lap.  After a lap of a side by side struggle,  Knaub took over and never looked back.

SINGLETON AND AURAND CELEBRATE LABOR DAY AT BEDFORD

September 8th, 2015
  Bedford Speedway celebrated the Labor Day holiday as a tribute to the original opener at the track, 79 years and one day earlier.  Just as Billy Winn did in 1936, Ron Aurand scored his first ever Bedford Speedway victory, this one coming in the 305 Sprint event.  Rick Singleton, nine time 2014 winner at the track, returned to take his second 2015 Limited win.  Later, Brad Feight and Dacron Powell captured both feature wins and track titles with wins in Pure Stock and 4 Cylinder action.
    Pole sitter DJ Troutman led the topless  Limited field early as first Darrell Dick and later Josh Berrier chased him.  The complexion changed dramatically when Berrier went for a quick spin on lap 15.  That moved Donnie Farlling and Rick Singleton, who had started back in eighth,  to his bumper. Singleton secured second a lap later and zipped Troutman for the lead  on lap 19. Read more »

KNAUB CRUISES TO BEDFORD 55 WIN

September 5th, 2015
  In dominating fashion, from start to finish, Gene Knaub took the big prize in the annual Bedford Speedway Labor Day 55 Friday night.  The win bookended the season for Knaub,  who won his first career Bedford  winners hat on opening day this season and was worth $6055.  Only a few weeks removed from her first ever Bedford win,  Alyssa Rowe snagged another Emod victory at the track.  Jim Saccoi took the Semi Late 15 lapper.  Ryan Peer swept both 4 Cylinder races,  one being the holdover event from last week, to complete the holiday weekend program.
      Jeff Rine was the pole sitter for the big 55 event but it was Knaub who got the jump at the start.  After a lap two yellow for a six car melee in turn one, Knaub actually sped away from Rine, as well as DJ Troutman and Matt Sponaugle.  Sponaugle took third from Troutman on lap 12 to chase Rine.   At that point, Rine and Troutman were basically tied in the season point race with everything on the line in this point finale.  Read more »

BOTTENFIELD AND RITCHEY STAR AT BEDFORD

August 29th, 2015
 Two first time winners emerged from Friday night action in the wildest event of the season at the track.  Following in the footsteps of his famous father and grandfather, Drew Ritchey took his first ever win in the 305 sprint event, before Ron Bottenfield took his first ever Limited win.  Jesse Snyder won the Semi Late event, while Travis Group won the Charlie Walter Pure Stock event 42 lapper.  The wild night featured four separate red flag causing crashes, which delayed the show long enough to cause the 4 Cylinder finale to fall to curfew restrictions.
     It took three tries to get the Limited event underway.  Nathan Lasalle crashed in turn one on the initial start and much of the field balled up in turn two bringing out the red flag on try number two.  That incident featured a bizarre moment as three cars made contact while stopping on the frontstretch for the red.  After that attempt, the field was lined up single file with Bottenfield at the point.
