YORK SPRINGS -- The team of Bob Beard and Gene Knaub won the blind-fold race Sunday at the Gary Wolford Fish Fry at the Latimore Valley Fairgrounds, a fundraiser for the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing.
The blind-fold racing set-up allows each team to have one driver, who is blind-folded, and one navigator, who helps the driver maneuver the track. The teams drove minivans this year.

Austin Hogue ran away from the field Friday to become the fifth different winner in five races at Trail-Way in the 25-lap 358 sprint car feature.
