Rick Eckert poses in victory lane after capturing Bedford's Labor Day 55.
What won the race: Completing a march forward from the 10th starting spot, Rick Eckert of York, Pa., overtook Jason Covert for the lead on lap 52 en route to winning Friday night's 32nd annual Labor Day 55 at Bedford Speedway. Eckert earned the $7,055 victory in the Zimmer's United Late Model Series-sanctioned event by 2.149 seconds over Ross Robinson.
Quotable: "I think it was 1994 since I stood on this (winner's) stage," said Eckert, a championship-winning regular at Bedford in the late '80s and early '90s. "I was the young guy then. Now I’m the old guy. It’s great to come back and get a win finally."
Key notes: Eckert's triumph was his second of 2019 and third of his career in ULMS competition. ... Eckert grabbed the lead on lap 52 when Covert bobbled over the cushion off turn four, opening the door for Eckert to make an inside run. ... Robinson passed Covert for second on lap 53 to claim a career-best ULMS finish. ... Covert settled for a third-place finish after leading laps 17 and 21-51. ... Mason Zeigler was the dominant force for much of the race's first half, leading all but one of the first 20 laps. Covert snuck by him in traffic to lead lap 17, but Zeigler regained command the following circuit and stayed there until a broken universal joint ended his bid on the 20th circuit. ... Gregg Satterlee ran second through the race's middle stages before running into trouble while third on lap 53; he finished ninth. ... The event marked the ULMS tour’s first-ever visit to Bedford and first race of the circuit’s Labor Day weekend tripleheader in the Keystone State. … Bedford hosts the Mason-Dixon Shootout Series on Sunday.
On the move: Georgetown, Del.'s Ross Robinson started 14th and finished second.
