Mike Benedum Hooks the Competition at the Bullring

by Ben Shelton
SALEM, West Virginia (July 10) - Mike Benedum hooked the competition at Tyler County Speedway on Saturday night with #25 BSI Well Service/Longhorn/Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model for his fourth win of the year.

Mike Benedum set out to enter a trio of event over the Fourth of July weekend. Action got underway on Wednesday night at Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex (Markleysburg, Pennsylvania) with a $10,000-to-win program, which was sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. A stout field of thirty-seven Super Late Model registered for battle. Unfortunately Mike battled brake issues on his #25 BSI Well Service/Longhorn/Roush Yates Racing Engine entry throughout the night, ultimately failing to reach a transfer spot into the 50 lap finale.

The ultra-competitive LOLMDS tour took the team to Muskingum County Speedway (Zanesville, Ohio) on Thursday night for another $10,000-to-win event. Thirty-three entries registered for the program, and a third place finish in heat race action locked Benedum into the ninth starting spot for the 50 lap main event. In the feature Mike battled amongst the top ten throughout the event before recording a ninth place finish at the checkered flag.

Full results from both events are available at www.LucasDirt.com .

The weekend drew to a close as the team entered familiar territory at Tyler County Speedway (Middlebourne, West Virginia) on Saturday night. Mike set fast time overall and drew an invert of six for the dash. He went on to finish fifth in the dash after suffering mechanical issues. In the feature Benedum roared from his third row starting spot to overtake Stevie Wilmoth for the victory. Full results from the event are available at www.TylerCountySpeedwayOnline.com .

"It was a frustrating start to the weekend at Roaring Knob, but things definitely were much better the final two nights," noted Benedum.  "I really think we are onto something with this new Longhorn as it really fits my driving style."

The upcoming weekend has Benedum eyeing a pair of $5,000 paydays as he goes into battle with the Elite 8 Super Series at Elkins Raceway (Kerens, West Virginia) on Friday and Saturday night. More information on the events are available at www.ElkinsRaceway.net .
