Story By: RYAN DELPH / CONLEY MOTORSPORTS – WHEELERSBURG, OH – Rod Conley, of Wheelersburg, Ohio, returned to dirt-slinging action on Saturday, October 21 in the unsanctioned ‘Keystone Cup’ at the sprawling Bedford Speedway in Bedford, Pennsylvania.
A total of 37 Super Late Model competitors signed in to do battle at the Keystone State speedplant and a $23,000 winner’s check was up for grabs.
