The second, and final member of the Class of 2008, retired from racing in 1996, after competing at the Beatrice Speedway off and on for 21 years. His first Beatrice Speedway A feature win came on June 14, 1975 in the Late Model division.

Competing against fellow Hall of Fame members: Rex Nun, Kenny Parde, Mike Cecak, and Stu Vavra, he would gradually become a threat to win on any given night. In 1978 he posted back to back wins. He would also claim several of Beatrice's biggest races over the next several years - The Coors Cup, and the NAPA challenge. He reached the peak of his Beatrice success in 1985, winning 5 straight races to end the season, claiming the runner-up position in the Late Model/Sportsman Championship standings. This would also include winning the final Late Model/Sportsman division race to ever be held at Beatrice.

Entering his 3rd decade of racing, he would again return to Beatrice, after several years away. This time in the Pro-Am division. Multiple wins in each of the next 3 years would follow. His knack for getting to the front, contributed to his multiple top 10 Championship rankings as well.

We would like to honor our second, and final inductee to the Beatrice Speedway Hall of Fame's Class of 2008.     Bennett, Nebraska's Tim Swanson
