Joey Braun Picks Up Riverhead Raceway Victory July 1

Riverhead Raceway - NY

Riverhead Raceway (NY) held racing action on Saturday, July 1. In the Legends division, Joey Braun drove to the victory. Read the race recap from the track below, as well as results.

After scoring numerous podium finishes in May & June, “Blankets” Joey Braun of Manorville finally broke into INEX Legend Race Car victory lane in a 20-lap affair. Braun and opening night winner Kevin Nowak brought the 26-car field to green with Joey taking the lead early with Nowak chasing. They ran in that order until a late race restart when Nowak moved up the track in turn two allowing 2021 champion George Tomko Jr. to move to second. Tomko closed in on the race leader but that would be as good as it got. At the finish Joey Braun in the Miller & Caggiano Attorney At Law machine took home his first win of the season, the 11th of his career ranking him 6th on the win list. George Tomko Jr. of Aquebogue making his first start of the season was runner-up in the Montauk Distilling racer with Richie Davidowitz of East Moriches third in the Hampton Fleet Service mount. Nowak faded to fourth in the end.
