October 8, 2012 (South Park, PA) Keith Barbara and Forbes Field Motorsports captured their fifth win of the 2012 season this past Saturday, October 6 at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, OH in a $3,000 to-win United Late Model Series sanctioned event.
Keith drew the pole position for the 30-lap main event and jumped out to a half-straightaway lead after two early cautions. By lap 13, Barbara was being pressured by Dave Hess Jr., before another caution fell. Keith was able to hold onto the lead as racing resumed but started to see his temperature gauge increase as the race wore on. During a lap 23 caution, smoke could be seen coming from Barbara's Forbes Field Garage, JNJ Motorsports Media, RanGroup Racing Tours sponsored Mastersbilt by Huey #17. Keith almost pulled off the speedway but decided to continue with only seven laps remaining. Barbara then led those final seven laps to pick up the win by just over a second over World of Outlaws Late Model Series regular Chub Frank and Jared Hawkins.
'I was overheating so much and just peddling it the last few laps,' Keith said in Victory Lane. 'I was going to pull off but I'm glad I didn't, the track worked the track all night and it turned out pretty good there at the end. I have to thank everyone that helps me out, Forbes Field Garage, my crew, my family, Ran Group Racing Tours, JNJ Motorsports Media, Mastersbilt by Huey; everyone who makes this possible.'
Plans for Keith and the Forbes Field Motorsports team are still undecided for the rest of the year but Barbara could be in action this upcoming weekend, October 12 and 13 at Hesston (PA) Speedway for 'The Ultimate' that will pay $4,000 on October 12 and $10,000 on October 13. The team is also tossing around the idea of heading to Lernerville Speedway for their 2012 finale on Friday and Saturday, October 26 and 27 for the $3,000 to-win 'Steel City Stampede'.
