There isn’t an All Star Circuit of Champions sprint car race this weekend in Bedford.


    All Star officials tried. They wanted to race there. Bedford officials had their reasons — they didn’t make money last year. When all was said and done, it didn’t happen. That’s sad for all parties concerned. What’s even worse is that all parties come out losers, especially the fans.


    Hoseheads, the industry-leading sprint car Web site, still was promoting an All Star race there this week. Somehow, no one gave them the message that it wasn’t going to happen.


    The All Stars wanted and needed the race date. Bedford Speedway doesn’t need the race to survive, but could benefit from positive exposure for the track if the race was run. Bedford participates in PA Speedweek and and any chance to expose fans to the facility is a plus.
