ADDED RACE STORY BY THE TRACK: “A few INEX Legend Race Cars events ago, “Blankets” Joey Braun of Manorville posted his 13th career win breaking a tie for 5th with Timmy Solomito of Islip on the all-time win list. Saturday night Solomito came back for a rare Legends appearance and promptly won the 20-lap feature event moving him and Braun back into a tie for 5th all-time. At the throw of the green Richie Davidowitz back in his family car broke to the early race lead with championship rival Jeff Farruggia Jr. second, but not for long. Timmy Solomito, who started third in the 860 Northeast entry of Stan & Jen Morabito moved to second down the back stretch. After chasing leader Davidowitz for a spell Solomito decided on lap 10 it was time to make his bid for the lead, which he successfully completed to the inside exiting the fourth corner. Once Solomito, a 23-time NASCAR Modified winner at Riverhead was out front he’d lead until the checker flag waved. Jeff Faruggia Jr, of Riverhead was second in his KMK Contracting machine while Joey Braun completed the podium in his Papa Carmine’s Hot Peppers racer.”
