PAPKE WINS NAIL BITTER FEATURE IN MANDAN
Pole sitter Casey Martin led the first lap in the INEX Legends feature. It was a three car battle for the lead between Casey Martin, Preston Martin and Donavin Wiest. A lap 7 caution regrouped the field and on the restart, Drew Papke slipped by to take the lead with nine laps to go. Preston Martin and Wiest were all over Papke’s bumper. They sliced and diced as they battled for the lead. Preston Martin briefly led with four laps to go before Wiest slipped by with three laps to go. But using the highline around the track, Papke retook the lead with two laps to go. Drew Papke held off Donavin Wiest to win the Season Opener. Preston Martin edged Alex Kukowski for fourth while Dauntae Martin finished fifth.
