West Cumbrian speedway star Dan Bewley celebrated his elevation to Belle Vue’s number one berth last night with a 15 point maximum.
The former Workington Comets star, in his first meeting as the Aces’ No.1, helped them to a 55-35 win over Ipswich.
The scores were level after eight races, but the Witches were then blown away by four Aces 5-1’s in the next five races to put the match well beyond the visitors.
The 22-year-old Bewley, from Maryport, said: “I’m delighted with how it went. I think it was my first full maximum of the season, but I’m glad we’re getting back to racing at home.
“We were mega disappointed to lose against Wolves last week and this result was just what we needed, especially at this point in the season.
“We’ve just got to keep this going now. We’ve got one foot in the play-offs and a few more results like this one will absolutely cement that for us.”
It’s been a terrific season so far for the Great Britain international who earlier secured automatic qualification for the 2022 Speedway Euro Championship.
Tony Jackson, his former manager with the Workington Comets has always believed he has the potential to go on and race successfully in the Grand Prix series.
“He had raw natural talent from the start and has always had the potential to go right to the top,” he said.
