Winchester Speedway in Virginia was alive with racing action on Saturday, April 13. In the Legends division feature, Chris Transeau was victorious over Scott Houdeshell and Stephen Wurtzer.
Story below (and results), by Brent Hottle, as posted by the track.
Chris Transeau would lead lap one from his pole position, followed by Austin Bellemare and Shaun Abney. Transeau would slide up in turn one allowing Bellemare to take the lead out of turn two. Bellemare would lead lap two followed by Transeau and Abney. Transeau would move back around Bellemare to lead lap three, Abney would follow Transeau to take the second position away from Bellemare as well. Abney would get a big run out of turn two, this would give him the extra momentum to take the lead away from Transeau and lead lap four. The caution flag would wave as Steve Seibert Jr would spin in turn three. Abney would continue to lead the next lap, as the caution flag would once again wave due to a five car spin in turns one and two. Abney would lead after the restart, as Stephen Wurtzer would move into the second position ahead of Transeau. The top three would battle hard for the next few laps. Scott Spidle would spin in turn two bringing out the yellow flag on lap ten. Heartbreak would ensue for Shaun Abney under the yellow flag as the driver side mount for his rear bumper had come apart. This would cause an unsafe condition, INEX rules state “you must have both bumpers on the vehicle and attached by their approved mounting rules,” this would cause Abney to be sent to the pits for the necessary repairs. After the restart we would see Transeau lead lap eleven, followed by Scott Houdeshell and Stephen Wurtzer. Houdeshell would pull to Transeau’s right rear tire as the pair took the white flag. A three car spin in turn two would stall Houdeshells bid for the lead bringing out the caution and setting up a one lap shootout. Chris Transeau would take the win, followed by Scott Houdeshell and Stephen Wurtzer.
