Story By: MATT SKIPPER / WORLD OF OUTLAWS – BEDFORD, PA – The World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models have found a new date for the Billy Winn Classic at Pennsylvania’s Bedford Speedway – now set for Thursday, July 11.
Originally scheduled for May before weather hindered those plans, the $15,000-to-win, 45-lap, event will now serve as an introduction to the three-day northeastern weekend that includes the Series’ two-day stop in Ohio at Sharon Speedway, Friday-Saturday, July 12-13.
It’ll be the Series’ fourth visit to the track and first time back since 2009. The previous three Series races at Bedford produced three different winners – Chub Frank (2007), Steve Francis (2008) and Tim Fuller (2009).
Nick Hoffman currently leads the World of Outlaws CASE Late Models standings with a tight 82-point lead over the top five, and an even tighter lead over second-place Brandon Sheppard, who is four points back from the lead. The rest of the top five include Cade Dillard (-50), Chris Madden (-60) and Kyle Bronson (-82).
