From Track PR:
MODESTO, Calif. (April 5, 2023) – The Legends Tour Series will stage the most unique event in the series history on Saturday night when they travel south to Irwindale Speedway to compete on a temporary roval circuit.
The layout will utilize turns three and four of the half-mile oval before the drivers dive into turn one of the inside one-third mile oval. Drivers will make a tight left at the exit of turn two, driving through the X of the figure eight course to take turns three and four of the one-third mile backwards as a right hander. A hairpin turn in the middle of the backstretch places the drivers back onto the half-mile.
With a unique challenge presented and a healthy purse, a talented field of drivers are expected to take to the speedway for the 20-lap feature. The race will pay $1,000 to win with help from Ricky Schlick Racing, Hacienda Pools, Kleen Blast, and Beeler Industries.
Many of the best road racers in INEX Legends racing compete on the west coast. For example, many INEX Legends drivers use the off season to compete at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the Silver State Road Course Series.
Ethan Nascimento of Manteca won the season opener for Legends Tour Series in a MAVTV-televised race at Madera Speedway on March 18. Nascimento topped 23 cars for the win on the one-third mile oval.
