PAPKE EDGES WIEST AT THE LINE
Travis Martin and Mike Dowling led the field to the green flag in the INEX Legends feature. Dowling quickly grabbed the lead but had his hands full with Austin Wiest and Donavin Wiest. Finding speed along the guardrail, Austin Wiest slipped by Dowling, bringing Donavin Wiest with him to take the lead on lap three. Austin Wiest's lead was short lived as defending track champion, Donavin Wiest, grabbed the lead a few laps later. Austin Wiest held strong and remained on Donavin Wiest's rear bumper but it didn't take long for points leader Drew Papke to catch the leaders. With only a few laps to go, it was a three car battle for the win. Using the high line to his advantage, Papke pulled along side Donavin Wiest as the white flag waved. They raced side by side for the win and when the checkered flag waved, Drew Papke denied Donavin Wiest of his first Dacotah Speedway victory of the season. Austin Wiest finished third while Mike Dowling finished fourth. Nate Keena, who started last, finished fifth.
