Beard tops Limited Late Models at Lavonia Speedway

Frankie Beard left Georgia’s Lavonia Speedway $2,500 richer on Friday night.

The Hartwell, Georgia driver powered to the lead in the Limited Late Model portion of the Eddie Ferguson Memorial, and went on to score the victory at the 3/8-mile clay raceway.

Drew Benfield followed in second, with Payton Freeman in third, Cody Overton in fourth and Gray Parton in fifth.

Stephen Segars, Corey Roulette, Shun Thomas, Bubba Russell, and Austin Reed rounded out the top 10.

In other action, Vince Fanello took the 602 Late Model feature victory over Chris Cape in second, Cody Pritchett in third, Dustin Taylor in fourth, and Cody Overton in fifth.

Luke Cooper held off Brady Cornett to top the 602 Charger feature. Coletrain Palmer followed in third, with Allen Styck in fourth, and Bryce Muchow in fifth.

Kyle Gordon drove to the Modified Street feature win over Jimmy Johnson in second, with Chad Puckett in third, Robbie Campbell in fourth, and Tye Nalley in fifth.

Jimmy Johnson led wire-to-wire to score the Stock 8 feature victory. Nathan Bowman followed in second, with Brady Hunt in third, Dustin Moore in fourth, and Greg Sanders in fifth.

David Dove was the first to drive under the checkered flag in the 602 Open Wheel Modifieds feature, only to see the apparent win go away when he was disqualified in post-race technical inspection.

That moved Brian Nickerson to victory lane, with Russell Baker, Chris Nickerson, Justin Sims and Mitchell Godfrey rounding out the top five.

Justyn Jacobs edged out Hunter Carey to take the win in the Young Guns feature. Hunter Childress followed in third, with Bryson Briscoe in fourth, and Koltin Bryant in fifth.

Tony Stevens recorded the Front Wheel Drive feature win. Cody Paige finished second, with Michael Selig in third, Chase Stevens in fourth, and D.J. Carey in fifth.
