WIEST WINS BY INCHES
Nate Keena and Brandon Anderson battled for the lead in the INEX Legends feature. Defending track champion, Donavin Wiest lurked in third while the leaders raced side by side. It soon turned into a three car battle before Donavin Wiest shuffled into the lead with 10 laps to go. Cautions, and even a red flag, plagued the end of the race. However, on the final restart of the night with four laps to go, Nate Keena found extra speed along the highside of the track. While Wiest hugged the guardrail, Keena’s highline momentum gave him the extra speed to pull alongside Wiest. When the checkered flag waved, it was almost too close to call as the drivers crossed the line at nearly the same time. However, officials declared Donavin Wiest the winner by mere inches over Nate Keena. Drew Papke made a late race pass to finish third ahead of Austin Wiest while Brandon Anderson finished fifth.
