Thursday

BEDFORD, Pa. — In a race cut short by six laps due to severe fog blanketing the track, Steve Francis became the 20th-different driver to win a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event Thursday night at Bedford Speedway. 
Francis led all 24 laps in winning the $7,000-to-win inaugural Paul Beamer Memorial Race sponsored by Bedford Valley Petroleum. Earl Pearson, Jr. finished second followed by Josh Richards, Jeremy Miller and Rick Eckert.
Fog began to overtake the track at the halfway mark. After a second caution came out when Nick Dickson stopped in turn two, the drivers stopped on the frontstretch and relayed to race officials that it would be unsafe to continue. When the cars returned under caution, the checkers waved, ending the race and handing the victory to Francis, who had successfully fended off challenges from Richards and Pearson.
The finish:
Steve Francis, Earl Pearson, Jr.,  Josh Richards, Jeremy Miller, Rick Eckert, Steve Shaver, Terry Casey, Ricky Elliot, Billy Drake, Steve Casebolt, Donnie Moran, Scott Haus, Jason Covert, Chuck Clise, Gary Stuhler, Scott James, Jeff Miller, Nick Dickson, Dan Stone, Jeff Rine, Justin Rattliff, Tyler Hershey, Jack Pencil, Steve Everhart, Freddy Smith, Bart Hartman.

Friday

WINCHESTER, Va. — Taking the lead on the fourth lap, Earl Pearson, Jr. picked up his third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the season, running away with the $7,000-to-win event at Winchester Speedway Friday night. 
Pearson extended his point lead with the victory, while Jimmy Owens romped from 18th on the grid to finish second. Steve Francis, Donnie Moran and Steve Casebolt rounded out the top five.
Moran led the first three laps, but Pearson used the middle groove to gain the lead and was never headed the remainder of the 40-lap event.
“I didn’t know what was going to happen in the feature after the heat races. Everybody was running around on the bottom and I guess we were bound and determined to make the middle to top groove work and it did, fortunately for us,” Pearson said. “I want to say hello to my mom back home. She was not feeling well today and I hope this makes her feel better.”
The finish:
Earl Pearson, Jr., Jimmy Owens, Steve Francis, Donnie Moran, Steve Casebolt, Jamie Lathroum, Billy Drake, Andy Anderson, Wayne Chinn, D.J. Myers, Bart Hartman, Jason Covert, Gary Stuhler, Josh Richards, Booper Bare, Scott James, Ricky Elliott, Freddy Smith, David Williams, Justin Rattliff, Darryl Hills, Dan Schlieper, Terry Casey, Walter Crouch, Gerald Davis.

Saturday

HAGERSTOWN, Md. — Taking advantage of a late-race restart with 11 laps to go, Bart Hartman sprinted to his second Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of 2008 Saturday night at the Hagerstown Speedway’s $10,000-to-win Shootout Finale.
Hartman carried the point for the first 16 laps of the race before yielding to Jimmy Owens, who dominated, lapping cars up to 11th place, until a late caution that allowed Hartman to get a run on him to retake the lead on the restart.
Hartman picked the inside on the restart, which proved to be the right choice, as Owens drifted up coming to the green flag. Hartman moved quickly to the inside of Owens heading down the main straightaway. As the pair entered into turn number one, Hartman grabbed the lead.
Hartman sped away for the win with Owens settling for second followed by Josh Richards, Earl Pearson, Jr. and Steve Francis.
The finish:
Bart Hartman, Jimmy Owens, Josh Richards, Earl Pearson, Jr., Steve Francis, Rick Eckert, Gary Stuhler, Donnie Moran, Steve Casebolt, Scott James, J.T. Spence, Steve Shaver, Billy Drake, D.J. Myers, Justin Rattliff, Booper Bare, Dan Schlieper, Terry Casey, Brian Booze, Mike Lupfer, Matt Lux, Andy Anderson, Ricky Elliott, Jimmy Bernheisel, Jeremy Miller.
