WIEST CAPTURES FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON
Moorhead, Minnesota’s Brody Carlsrud led the field to the green flag in the INEX Legends feature. Carlsrud led early until defending track champion Donavin Wiest powered by on lap three. However, Carlsrud battled back and they raced side by side for the lead. Tight racing allowed Andrew Jochim and points leader Drew Papke to join the battle. As Wiest cleared Carlsrud, it was a three car battle for second between Carlsrud, Papke and Jochim. As the laps wound down, Papke shuffled into the second position and challenged Wiest for the win. When the white flag waved, Papke gave it all he had as he dove low under Wiest but slid up the track which allowed Wiest to power through the corner. When the checkered flag waved, Donavin Wiest picked up his first victory of the season. Drew Papke just narrowly edged Andrew Jochim for second at the finish line. Brody Carlsrud finished fourth while Preston Martin rounded out the top five. Papke’s top five wrapped up his first track championship in the INEX Legends.
