Bedford Speedway
BEDFORD, Penn. (June 18) - With summer approaching next week the racing action is getting hot at the speedway. Fans enjoyed an action packed night with Scott Haus winning his first feature of the year in the late models here at Bedford, closely followed by the "flying school teacher" Jack Pencil. Rick Singleton, of Hunnington Pa., took the checkered flag in the limited late models with a commanding lead over Matt Sponaule, and Brian Duffy returned to victory lane in the street stocks with a impressive victory over Dave Brown, Bill Henney, and Mike Desch. Two previous track champions, as well as previous feature winners, won features in their respective divisions, Charlie Walter in the Hobby Stocks and Mike Lauffer in the 4-Cylinders.
Four time track champion Scott Haus was lucky at the pill re-draw and started on the pole and never looked back leading all 25 laps of the Late Model Feature. Jack Pencil started working his way up thru the field and caught Haus but was unable to challenge him for the win. Meanwhile battling for the third and fourth positions were Jeff Rine and D.J. Myers and when the checkered flag dropped it was Rine in third and Myers fourth. Finishing a sound fifth was Jeff Miller. Brian Booze, Scott Rhodes, Mike Altobelli Jr., Randy Burkholder, and Derek Byler rounded out the top ten. Eighteen LM were signed in at the speedway and Haus and Myers crossed the line first to win their heat events.
Once again, due to the luck of the pill re-draw Rick Singleton was sitting on the pole and at the drop of the green flag he took off and never looked back. Matt Sponaugle starting fourth made several attempts on restarts to catch Singleton but just couldn't get the job done and had to settle for second. The end of the race seen Rance Garlock, Tim Smith Jr. and Brian Lesley all fighting for the third position with Garlock grabbing third from Smith with four laps to go. Smith and Lesley finished fourth and fifth respectively. Rounding out the top ten were Matt Howsare, Mike Duck, Grant Adams, Craig Perigo, and Donnie Farlling. Heat winners for the evening were Singleton and Darrell Dick.
The street stock feature got off to a wild start with three cars getting together Jerry Robinson, Rich Swope and Zane Weicht and Weicht getting the upside down end of it. When the field realigned for a complete restart Khi Swanger, Mike Desch, and Brian Duffy were battling three wide down the back stretch. On lap nine Duffy took the lead from Swanger and the rest was history. Following Duffy to the checkered was Dave Brown, Bill Henney, Desch, and Darrell Whetstone. Finishing out the top ten were Swanger, Kerry Molovich, Jim Saylor, Travis Brown and Donald Wyles. Heat wins went to Bill Henney and Dave Brown.
Charlie Walter was once again in victory lane after starting 9th and gradually working the field to the finish. Following Walters and racing hard for several positions were Bill Replogle, Tyler Ritchey, Travis Group, and Todd Goss and they finished in that very order. Heat wins for the night went to the Lou Wannian and Charlie Walter.
In four cylinder action tonight it was Mike Lauffer getting the win by default as the winner Ian Will was disqualified after going thru tech inspection. On lap five Paul Crynock was going for the lead and got out of shape and had to rejoin the field in eleventh place. Finishing after Lauffer was Andrew Pluta, Jeremy Miller, Steve Frederick, and Cindy Rhodes. Heat wins went to Cindy Rhodes and Lauffer.
