On a Fall day that felt more like summer than the end of racing season, Bradford Speedway brought the penultimate event on its 2025 oval campaign with a doubleheader—hosting the makeup of the $4,000-to-win Mike Reed Memorial RUSH Late Model Tour feature while also celebrating its six weekly divisions on Championship Night.

The spotlight belonged to the RUSH Late Models, with two features highlighting the program. In the Mike Reed Memorial, Austin Hauser set the tone early, fending off pressure from Jeremy Wonderling for 18 laps. But once Wonderling slipped his way into the lead, the outcome was sealed. “Mr. Excitement” powered the 3J to the checkers and pocketed the big payday, with Jake Wilber—the 2025 Bradford Track Champion—joining them on the podium.

In the nightcap, Wonderling once again delivered on his nickname. Charging from fourth and held off Bryce Davis to complete the sweep of the RUSH Late Model program.

While Wonderling stole the headlines, another story was told for the Bradford faithful. After coming up just inches short in his last outing, Tyler Rendell finally broke through for his long-awaited first win. Locked in a dramatic duel with Zach Hamer through heavy traffic, Rendell refused to be denied, edging out Hamer by just a tenth of a second in a photo-finish Pure Stock thriller.

The night also saw fresh faces and familiar names in victory lane. Jeff Ganoung Jr. piloted the Logan Ganoung SCDRA Mini Stock to a wire-to-wire win, with Joe Gillespie and Shaine Putt completing the top three.

In the Kids Mini Stocks, it was Chase Tidd holding off Alivia Miller to score the feature victory.

In Modified action, veteran Al Brewer reminded the crowd why his No. 71 remains a staple at Bradford, outdueling track champion Ian Degolier and Josh Canfield.

The season finale also featured a strong run for Jesse Isadore, who closed out his 2025 campaign with a Sharp Mini Late Model win, holding back challenges from Donovan Sevrey and Chris Whyte.

Next up for Bradford Speedway: Woah Nellie Night in America on October 5th, featuring the Open Mini Stock Challenge, Kids Class, RUSH Late Models, Enduro, SxS, and ATVs!
