Autograph Night returned to Bradford Speedway on Saturday, bringing fans trackside to meet their favorite drivers before seven divisions took to the dirt with a full evening of action.
The night’s headline moment belonged to Kurt Stebbins, who ripped the high side to perfection in a dramatic 25-lap Late Model feature. Charging past nearly half the field, Stebbins slipped by points leader Jacob Wilber in a thrilling duel and trimmed the championship margin to just six points heading into Sunday’s finale.
In the Pure Stocks, Anthony Schoonover emerged victorious after a tense battle with Joe Skinner ended with Skinner’s disqualification. Mike Parmenter followed Schoonover through the field to finish runner-up, with the pair now sitting one-two in points and setting the stage for a three-way showdown with Skinner for the title.
The SCDRA Mini Stocks saw DJ Williams take another step toward his crown, outdueling Logan Ganoung in another hard-fought feature. Williams now only needs to start Sunday’s finale to officially clinch the points championship.
In the Kids Mini Stocks, Jake Skinner stole the show with a last-lap pass on Chase Tidd for a photo-finish victory. The young driver has already locked up the 2025 track championship, making Sunday’s win the perfect exclamation point.
Steve Dixon kept his edge in the RUSH Pro Mod/Econo Mod feature, holding off Josh Canfield and Ian DeGolier in the 20-lap showdown. With Econo Mods now in the mix for the final stretch, both Canfield and Al Brewer remain within striking distance of DeGolier for the title.
The Sharp Mini Late Models produced a thriller, with Travis Asel battling tooth-and-nail with Terry Mealy and Jesse Isadore for the win. Setting up a must-watch King of the Mini Late Models championship battle on Sunday.
Finally, the NY6A Micro Sprints were all Jerry Gurney, who put on a dominant performance to park his ride in victory lane.
Next up at Bradford Speedway: Championship Night — featuring the King of the Mini Late Models, the return of go-karts, and division titles on the line.
