PAPKE CAPTURES HIS FIRST VICTORY OF THE SEASON
When the green flag waved, Ivan Sailer grabbed the lead from pole sitter Mike Dowling in the INEX Legends feature. As Sailer started to pull away, Dowling fell into the clutches of Drew Papke. They briefly raced for second until Papke slipped by on lap three. Sailer’s large lead quickly diminished as Papke reeled in the leader. They raced side by side for several laps until Papke cleared Sailer with five laps to go. Papke led the final five laps to win his first feature victory of the season. Ivan Sailer who led much of the race settled for second ahead of Casey Martin while Mike Dowling finished fourth ahead of Donavin Wiest.
*After the conclusion of the feature, officials disqualified fourth place Mike Dowling for being too low after the feature.
