Championship points leader Matt Hoose takes the win at New Smyrna Speedway this weekend and increases his points lead to 32 over Brian Young. Young finished 8th in the race while Jimmy Eifling, 3rd in points, finished 9th. Schaeffer and Jewell hold onto 4th and 5th with just one race remaining in our inaugural season. Next weekend the finale is at South Boston Speedway!
Mitch Leinen makes it 3 in a row with his win last night at Richmond International Raceway. Leinen took the lead from Matt Hoose on lap 35 and is now 3 for 3 in the Inaugural Legends Series.
Hoose finished 2nd after leading the first 34 and extends his points lead over Brian Young to 25. Chris Halliday, Brad Spidle and Huston Hamer finished 3rd through 5th. Jimmy Eifling started 14th and finished an impressive 7th and remains 3rd in the points chase. Lowell Jewell and teammate David Schaeffer hold on to 4th and 5th in the standings.
The series is off next weekend and will return on December 7th, 2013 at New Smyrna Speedway. Just 2 races remain and the points battle remains close!

December 14th — South Boston Speedway – 25 laps
Same times that our regular season will run:
Practice 7:30pm

Looking forward to seeing all of you on track!
The Whiskey Run Street Stock Series begins its preseason tonight at Richmond International Raceway! Server goes up at 10:30 Eastern. Our Inaugural Legends series is also at Richmond tonight; it’s 3rd to last race on the season. Should be a fun night of racing here at BRL!!
Mitch Leinen scores two in a row with his win last night at Langley Speedway. He started on pole and led every lap, taking the checkers a full 7.5 seconds ahead of points leader Matt Hoose and 11.3 seconds ahead of Ronald Henrie in 3rd. This was yet another caution free event.
Hoose retains the point lead with just three races left. He is now 17 points ahead of Brian Young and 28 ahead of Jimmy Eifling. The Crooked Still Legends Series visits Richmond International Raceway next week.
In what turned out to be a battle with the NetCode, a geek term that few can explain clearly, our first race under the lights was a little spooky. Pace car driving through walls,(who knew a Mustang could do that?) engines blowing for no apparent reason, leader getting the black flag on a restart, and Lowell finishing the race without hitting anything. Strange indeed.
Aside from all that, the racing was great as is the case every week! Points leader Matt Hoose took the pole position in qualifying and took off on point at the green flag. He led 18 of the 50 laps before being shown the aforementioned black flag on a restart. Four quick laps later he was disqualified for not serving the stop and go penalty. He ended the night in 11th and losing six points in the championship standings to 2nd place, Brian Young. That gap is now just 14 points with four races remaining. Young started 10th and finished 5th while 3rd place in the points, Jimmy Eifling started 13th and finished 9th.
Brad Spidle finished 3rd, Chris Forster finished 2nd and led a total of 11 laps. But the night belonged to Mitch Leinen who led 21 laps and crossed the line 1st at the wave of the checkered flag.
Next week we head for Hampton, VA for more short track action, under the lights at Langley Speedway!
Our 2014 schedule is being finalized and will be posted soon. There will be 3 championship seasons next year, each featuring 16 races in 15 weeks! At the mid point of each season will be a double header race. There will also be 2 road race events in each. 2014-A will feature Lime Rock Park in Connecticut and Daytona’s Short Road configuration in Daytona Beach, Florida under the lights!
Stay tuned!
UPDATE: The 2014-A schedule is now posted.
Two in a row for points leader Matt Hoose as he once again dominates by taking the pole, leading every lap, and crossing the line first! But again, not without some pressure being applied. This time by runner up finisher Mitch Leinen. Kane Lackey finishes third with Lowell Jewell and Brian Young rounding out the top five. Hoose remains atop the championship standings with Brian Young 10 points back and Jimmy Eifling just 26 back. The five remaining races in our inaugural season are all night races! Lanier National Speedway is up next.
Our points leader going into the Stafford Motor Speedway race takes the pole, leads every lap, and wins in dominating fashion. Matt Hoose becomes our first 2-time winner of the season. It wasn’t an easy win though with Brad Spidle shadowing his every move, every lap. The one and only caution comes out on lap 46 setting up a one lap shoot out to decide the race. Spidle finished 2nd with David Schaeffer in 3rd. Brian Young started 9th and raced his way to an impressive 4th place finish. Hoose hangs on to the championship standings lead with Young 2nd and Jimmy Eifling 3rd. Next week we go back down to Florida and visit USA International Speedway!
