The Temperature Spikes and So Does Moore

July 6th, 2026

The Bedford Speedway completed its 14^th race of the 2026 racing season on Friday. The speedway kicked off the holiday weekend with dollar hot dogs and even hotter weather, but a little heat wasn’t enough to keep the competition away. The night belonged to Spike Moore as he celebrated his first Late Model victory, still riding high after his recent win in his Limited Late Model on June 19^th at Bedford. Rick Potter took home his first 2026 win in the Semi Lates. Braydale Bauman achieved his third win this season in the Pure Stock division. Jason Diehl also picked up his third victory of the season in the 4-Cylinder division.

It took the Late Models three tries to get a clean start on their feature event but once the green flew Spike Moore stopped teasing the field and finally let loose. Jeff Miller and JT Spence were determined not to let him get away but they fell into their own battle for second place within a few laps. Spence took a chance on lap 9 to slide by on the inside of Miller in turn one but Miller shot down the back stretch before Spence could seal the deal. Three laps later Shawn Shoemaker overtook Spence and arrived to challenge Miller passing him for second place going down the front stretch. Miller and Spence fell into a rougher version of their previous dance now racing each other for third place. A slight brush with the turn one wall for Trever Feathers brought out a late caution. JT Spence and Shawn Shoemaker caught a brief glimpse of Spike Moore as the field took the green, but they were no match for Moore as he took off once more not slowing down until he saw the checkered flag on lap 25. Moore earned his first Late Model victory followed by JT Spence, Shawn Shoemaker, Justin Weaver, and Matt Sponaugle. Read more »
