MIKE KNIGHT TAKES BIG WIN AT FREEDOM MOTORSPORTS PARK IN THE PETE LORETTO MEMORIAL PRESENTED BY BRIGGS TRANSPORT ARCADE, NY…For once, the weather went to the south of Bixby Hill on a Friday night, and fans came out to enjoy a night’s racing at Freedom Motorsports Park presented by Briggs Transport. In the headline Pete Loretto Memorial for the Super Late Models, Mike Knight led the first three laps until Kyle Bedell moved past him into the race lead. Chub Frank battled up into the top three and raced Knight for second as the leader started working through traffic. Bedell got caught up in the traffic and slid high, allowing Knight to retake the lead. The race’s first yellow didn’t come until Douglas Eck’s spin on lap 25. One more caution with two to go set up a shootout, and perhaps one of the wildest finishes in Freedom history. As the field came to the conclusion of lap 30, off turn four, Knight’s car slowed and Frank tried to avoid him, literally pushing him across the finish. Frank got under Knight’s car past the flagstand, got sideways, and Greg Oakes and Bump Hedman piled in, which sent Frank’s car into a single roll, landing on its wheels. Knight’s car had to be pushed to Victory Lane, while most of the rest of the top five went out on tow trucks or rollbacks. Super Late Model heats were won by Dylan Cecce and Greg Oakes. In the RUSH Pro Mod feature, Zain Harvey rocketed to the lead over JD Chamberlain, who moved past Steve Watson in the early laps. As Harvey extended the lead, Tim Wilcox was on a charge from the back of the field into the top five. He battled with John Woodward as the final laps went by, with Harvey continuing to hold the top spot. In a caution-free event, Harvey took a dominant victory over Chamberlain, followed by Watson, Tyler Oakes, and Jeff Canfield. RUSH Pro Mods heats were won by John Woodward and Zain Harvey. In the 15-lap RUSH Stock Car feature, Kaiden Michael took the lead from Cody Strickland and pulled away until a late race caution for Raiddan Wilson’s spin bunched the field for the restart. Michael was again able to pull away and took the victory over Strickland, while Wilson spun and collected Kamron Kramer. Alex Busch and Cody Rickard slipped in to take third and fourth. The RUSH Stock Car heat was won by Cody Strickland. The Bandit 10-lap feature had Khloe Griffin get out front with Chase Tidd moving past Addy Chamberlain for second. Tidd tried to run down Griffin, but Khloe maintained a solid advantage to the checkers for the win, followed by Tidd and Chamberlain. The Bandit heat was captured by Chase Tidd. The Mini Late Models ran a feature-only format for the night, and in the 15 lap contest, Ron Eaton and Josh Outman battled side by side for several laps.until Eaton spun…at the same time that Nate Kolson had a front end issue, bringing the yellow out with six laps to go. Outman was able to pull away from Jesse Isadore to take the win, followed by Eaton, Camden Sherwood, and Kolson.

After the restart, Cecce pulled away from Kyle Bedell with Nick Eck in third. Ryan Scott and Doug Eck both had mechanical issues and dropped to the infield as Cecce extended his lead and started putting cars a lap down. As the race continued, Cecce picked his way through traffic while Nick Eck tried to stave off challenges from Andy Boozel and Logan Jaquay.
