MARTINS OUT DUEL WIESTS IN LEGEND FEATURE
Youngesters Gage Madler and Collin Compson led the field to the green flag in the INEX Legends feature. Racing veteran, A.J. Davenport grabbed the early lead before Noah Madler took the lead on lap seven. Mid-race cautions plagued the feature and allowed Donavin Weist to take the lead just before the halfway point. But Weist had his hands full with Noah Madler, Austin Wiest, Preston Martin and Casey Martin. As the laps wound down, the high side of the track was the fast side. Preston Martin led the charge on the high side, reeling in Wiest. They briefly raced side by side for the lead until the high side prevailed with three laps to go. Preston Martin pulled away and crossed the finish line first. Casey Martin edged Donavin Wiest for second place. Dauntae Martin finished fourth while Austin Wiest rounded out the top five.
Dauntae Martin was later DQed after the conclusion of the feature for being too light at the scale.
