Dale Garrett won his first Legends feature race of the season at Ona Speedway in West Virginia on Saturday, July 20. Jason Garrett and Ethan Truell rounded out the top three.
Race story and results below, as posted by the track.
Winston-Salem, North Carolina’s Ethan Truell took the lead with outside pole sitter Dale Garrett quickly moving into the second position in the nights 20 lap Three Sixteen Motorsports INEX Legends Car feature. After a couple laps of battling, Garrett would make the pass for the lead on lap three. Garrett’s older brother Jason, who had won every race this season, started the race from the tail due to mechanical problems preventing him from qualifying. Jason quickly moved through the field and would move up to the second position by the time the Dutch Miller Automotive competition caution would fly on lap 10. On the Tri-State Stoneworks restart, the Garrett brothers would start side by side with Dale maintaining the lead from the inside. Jason would then be stuck right behind Dale’s bumper in a close nose-to-tail battle for the lead! Jason would put intense pressure on his younger brother for the remainder of the race, but wouldn’t have enough as Dale came to the checkered flag to claim his first win of the season and first career Pro class win! Jason Garrett finished second with Ethan Truell third, Austin Sams fourth, and Jay Dunlap fifth. Sams would be credited as the Semi-Pro class winner for being the highest finishing Semi-Pro driver.
