Begnaud Wins American Crate Late Model Series Feature at Kennedale!
(Kennedale, TX – June 2, 2025) – A packed house and a full pit area set the stage for a thrilling night of dirt track racing as the American Crate Late Model Series (ACLMS), rolled into Kennedale Speedway Park this past Saturday night. With 24 entries on hand to battle for the $1,500 to-win top prize.
Fans were treated to more than just racing as drivers participated in a pre-race meet-and-greet with young fans, creating memories and signing autographs before strapping in for battle. ACLMS extends a big thank you to the teams who made the kids feel special and to Kennedale Speedway Park for their top-notch hospitality.
The night belonged to Beau Begnaud, who put on a masterclass in patience and power, storming from his 9th-place starting spot to take the checkers in the 25-lap main event. His performance earned him Hard Charger honors, and he took command from lap 11 onward, never looking back.
Early race leader Robbie Starnes led the opening 10 circuits but couldn’t hold off the hard-charging Begnaud, who made his move and never relinquished the top spot. The top five saw a strong blend of veterans and rising talents putting on a clean and competitive show.
