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!

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!
