It was a rough and tumble HIGHMARK Building Efficiency 40 for the INEX Legend Race Cars, when the dust settled “Blankets’ Joey Braun of Manorville won his 5th feature of 2023, the 15th of his career. A multi-car wreck and then a flip by Pat Moore, who was shaken but otherwise okay, slowed things early on but when they got to racing for the $2,000 victory, they lead tandem put on a clinic. Riely O’Keefe and Joey Braun, both of whom call Manorville home were left to decide the outcome in the final five laps. O’Keefe had led most the way, Braun, with every corner of his car banged up, made his way back to second late in the tilt. Over the final five laps O’Keefe and Braun played the crossover game through and exiting the corners as the intensity ramped up. As the checker waved Joey Braun in the Miller & Caggiano Attorney at law racer made the last crossover payoff in victory. O’Keefe steering the Get Clear, Crystal Clear Window Cleaning entry had to be content with second after leading the majority of the race. 2023 track champion Richie Davidowitz of East Moriches was third in the Freddie & Megan Kraft backed entry.
