Racing Veteran Returns to Victory Lane at Dacotah Speedway
Bismarck’s Austin Wiest grabbed the lead in the INEX Legend feature. Wiest led the first couple laps before veteran driver, Ivan Sailer, chased down the leader. They briefly raced side by side until Sailer slipped by on lapt hree. As Wiest fell into the clutches of Mike Dowling, it was a three car battle for fourth between Donavin Wiest, Casey Martin and Drew Papke. Donavin Wiest grabbed the fourth position and quickly reeled in Dowling as he started to fade through the field, losing positions to Donavin Wiest, Papke and Martin. With only a few laps remaining, Austin Wiest started to close back in on Sailer. As they raced side by side for the win, it allowed Donavin Wiest to make it a three car battle. With one lap to go, the leaders raced door to door but when the checked flag waved, it was Ivan Sailer who found victory lane for the first time since 2015 over Austin Wiest. Donavin Wiest finished third while Drew Papke held off Casey Martin for fourth.
