 Another gorgeous night for racing over on the 1/4 mile clay track that is Bear Ridge Speedway! This one also doubled as a Benefit Night for David's House and despite a little smaller crowd than at last week's holiday show, a generous contribution was raised for this worthy cause! Drivers fanned through the crowd, helmet in hand, collecting donations. It's things like this that make me really proud to be associated with such a great group of people!  14 year old Jordan Fornwalt followed up last week's 2nd place trophy with his first career win in the Limited Late Models. He was followed across the line by Richie Simmons and Tyler Stygles. Congrats Jordan!!  3 and even 4 wide racing all the way through the pack...THIS is what dirt track racing is all about! In the end Gene Pierson Jr led Josh Harrington and Shane Race onto the podium.  Dan Douville survived a near roll-over (which brought out the only caution of the race) to battle back for an incredible 2nd place finish. Rookie Jim Lowrey, Jr. grabbed 3rd.  while Eric Lang's 2nd place finish helped break a tie at the top of the points chase with Thomas Placey. One of last week's roll-over victims, Don Reynolds, brought the same car back and drove it to a 3rd place finish!  second week in a row (in two different cars). He was followed across by Kevin Chaffee and last year's Champion Adam Pierson.  (based on getting lap sponsors who build the purse for the event). It was easy to score the results at the top five cars finished in the same order in both segments. Bringing home trophies were Danny Doyle, Kevin Harran and Travis Hull.  Misty Bell onto the podium.
