Troutman rules Keystone Cup in Modified to grab 20th win of 2021

Drake Troutman stormed to his 20th victory of the 2021 season on Saturday night with a winning performance in his Smith Transport / RFI Resources No. 7 MB Customs Race Car / Lasalle Racing Engine Modified at Bedford Speedway.

“We had a good weekend at Bedford. In the Modified I started first in the heat race and won, and then started first in the feature and won with an amazing race with Mike Altobelli Jr.! We won our Super Late Model B-Main, which gave us the 20th-starting spot for the feature. I wasn’t going anywhere, so I pulled in early to save the laps on my engine. We had a great car, we just got behind early in the weekend,” Troutman shared. I’m glad to have picked up another win to put us up to win #20 on the season! Can’t thank all my sponsors, crew, family, and supporters enough for everything that they do for me!”

Drake Troutman invaded Bedford Speedway (Bedford, Pa.) on Friday afternoon to pull double duty in both the Super Late Model and Modified ranks in the fourth annual Keystone Cup. Drawing 43 Late Models for the two-day event, Troutman recorded the 11th-fastest time in his qualifying group before placing 11th in his preliminary feature.

Transferring into the B-Main on Saturday, Drake streaked to a 10-lap consolation victory, which positioned him 20th on the starting grid for the $25,000-to-win Keystone Cup. He was credited with a 23rd-place outing after pulling off early to save his equipment.

After storming to a convincing victory in his Modified heat race on Friday, Troutman turned back challenges from a hard-charging Mike Altobelli Jr. in the feature on Saturday to capture his 20th win of the season, which was worth $2,000. He took the checkers ahead of Altobelli, Jerry Foster, Beau Aikey, and Donnie Farlling.
