WIEST WINS WILD RACE IN MANDAN
When the green flag waved in the INEX Legend feature, it was a three car battle for the lead between pole sitter Donavin Wiest, Alex Kukowski and Drew Papke. As they raced three wide, Nate Keena lurked in fourth. Finding speed along the highside of the track, Kukowski grabbed the lead on lap 10 but Wiest retook the lead late in the race. With two laps to go, Kelly Hoerner, flew off corner three and into the outside guardrail. Thankfully he was ok but under caution, Kukowski had mechanical failure that ended his night. On the restart, Papke, Tim Brockhouse, Dayton Olheiser and Keena raced four wide for second as they raced down low, through the middle and up high. However, they couldn’t catch Donavin Wiest as he crossed the line first. Drew Papke held off Tim Brockhouse for second as Dayton Olheiser just narrowly edged Nate Keena at the line to finish fourth.
