PARKS CHANGES LUCK AT BEDFORD

June 7th, 2014

For Parks, the 2013 big winner at the track, it was his first 2014 win and 7th of his track career.  In other action, Lou Wannyn came from the pack to score the Semi Late win, Ed Vogel won the Pure Stock event and Ryan Peer won the 4 Cylinder finale.   The Taylors once again dominated the modified race, this time with Evan doing the honors.
    The late Model 25 lapper was like a take of two races.  Matt Cosner got the drop on the field at the start and ran off.  Cosner got away as Matt Parks and Chuck Clise chased but lost ground every lap.  A yellow on lap 7 for Dave Troutman which went longer after a Travis Wilson crash changed the entire complexion of the race.   Read more »

   On Friday a passing shower hit just as cars and fans were arriving,  The track crew worked diligently to get the track ready and the program started only a half hour late.  But during the second Pure Stock heat the sky opened again.  The cars went pitward and the track crew went back to work, losing another 40 minutes.
The second Pure Stock heat was completed, but then it rained again, this time hard enough to kill the entire program  Brad Nesline and Charlie Walter won the two Pure stock heats between the rain drops.
    On Saturday,  the rain arrived early enough to stop things before they ever got started,  wiping out the entire weekend
