The Stockton 99 Speedway (CA) held racing action on Saturday, August 10. Winning the Legends feature was Brenden Ruzbarsky. Race story below as posted by the track (Legends portion extracted for posting on LN).
Eleven Legends lined up for 35 laps. Stockton’s Kayci Phillips started out front with Donnie Darter of Valley Springs to her outside. Row two was made up by Danville’s Jason Gilbert and Zach Sansom of Liden.
As the race began, Phillips worked her way clear of the drivers behind. However, all eyes were on Tracy driver Brendan Ruzbarksy who started the race in sixth but had worked his way to fourth by lap 2.
Then on lap 3, he made his way to third and would take a look low for second place on lap 4. Phillips could not hold off the charging Ruzbarsky car and he made the pass for the lead on lap 6. Zach Sansom was able to follow Ruzbarsky past Phillips for second but could not close the gap.
Ruzbarsky never looked back and by the end of 35 laps, had driven to a half lap lead. After a tough finish during the series last outing, Ruzbarsky returned with a vengeance to pick up his first win of the season despite being the series points leader.
Zach Sansom finished in second with Phillips coming home in third. Wyatt Sansom of Linden wound up fourth with Darter rounding out the top five. Gilbert was sixth with Aiden Phillips of Atwater crossing the line in seventh. San Jose driver Logan Elorreaga was eighth and Hayden Stepps of Oakdale finished ninth. Tiffany Enriquez brought her car to tenth place.
