Henry Barton closed out the 2023 INEX Legends Tour Series overall championship while Upper Lake’s Jeremy Doss won his fourth feature of the year in a 40-lap duel. Doss battled with Bakersfield’s David Mayhew for the season ending win.
Mayhew passed his son Taylor at the start of the feature. Mayhew, Barton, and Doss went three-wide for the lead but Mayhew held the spot. Doss then took over on lap seven on the inside. Mayhew drove back to Doss, taking the lead on lap 32 using the inside line. Doss was committed to the outside line and used it to retake the position for the final time on lap 35. Doss topped Mayhew, Barton, Taylor Mayhew, and Bakersfield’s Eddie Garone.
Kaine Bettancourt won the INEX Bandolero championship in style by also winning the 20-lap feature. Bettancourt faced his stiffest competition of the season in a side-by-side race with Las Vegas’ Kellen Keller. Keller spun coming to the checkered flag, allowing Betancourt to prevail. Keller and Andrew Williams rounded out the finishers.
