BEDFORD, Penn. (August 13) - It was the Bedford/Cumberland shootout Friday night at the Bedford Speedway, and Matt Parks made Friday the 13th lucky by winning the Super Late Model main event. Robbie Black won his 2nd feature event in the Limited Late Models, and Jim Sayler took home the checkers in the Street Stocks. Charlie Walter returned to victory lane in the Hobby Stocks after a rough mid-season stretch and Jeff Treece won his first ever feature at Bedford in the 4 Cylinders.
In Super Late Model action, Matt Parks started on the outside pole and assumed the lead on the first lap. It wasn't long until the top five broke free from the pack, with Nick Dickson hounding Parks for the lead, Jack Pencil third, Jeff Rine fourth, and Scott Haus fifth. With Parks on the top side, and Dickson on the bottom, the pair ran side by side lap after lap. With five laps to go, the top five caught the tail of the field. This allowed Pencil to join the top two for a battle for the top spot, but Parks prevailed at the checkered. Dickson followed closely in second and Pencil third. Rine and Haus completed the top five, and Derek Byler, Greg Fetters, Jeff Miller, Andy Fries, and Shawn Claar finished out the top ten. Rine and Parks won the heats. The feature event went 25 laps without caution.
Friday the 13th reared its ugly head in the Limited Late Model feature. Darrell Dick took the lead at the drop of the green and looked to have the race in hand. Dick dominated for most of the race, but 8th starting Matt Sponaugle was on the move. The pair ran side by side for several laps, and then disaster struck with two laps to go. With Dick on the outside, and Sponaugle on the inside, the pair made significant contact in turn 4. The result was Darrell's mount facing the wrong direction, and Sponaugle sent to the rear. Robbie Black assumed the lead on the restart, and held on for the win over Mike Altobelli, Jr., Tim Smith, Jr., Donnie Farlling, and Matt Howsare. Sixth through tenth went to Brian Lowery, Andy Teno, Rance Garlock, Rick Singleton, and Matt Cosner. Heats went to Daniel Cornman, Matt Sponaugle, and Darrel Dick.
