Legends raced double features Saturday, August 5, at New London-Waterford Speedbowl (CT), with Isaiah Newcomb and Dylan Cote splitting victories. Story and results from the track release below (Legends portion extracted for posting on LN).
Riley Paul set the pace in the first INEX Legend Car feature of the evening with a strong Dylan Cote attached to his bumper for a few laps. A lap 4 restart relegated Cote back to third place while a hot Isaiah Newcomb put Paul under attack. Newcomb, unable to clear Paul under green at the time, used a restart at the halfway point to power into the lead where he would stay for the remainder of the event, winning his second race at the Speedbowl this week.
The second race was almost shaping up to be a similar story. Dennis Pantani and Scott Limkemann led the field to green with Limkemann having the advantage. Dylan Freeman would dice his way through traffic and be the next driver to take the lead. Dylan Cote wasted no time on Freeman and was able to make a bid for the lead on the very next lap with Riley Paul and Newcomb in tow. Newcomb would work his way into second challenging Cote for the top spot when contact sent Newcomb to the grass. Cote’s win was for mom’s birthday, with Paul finishing in second place twice in one night and Freeman hanging on for third.
