Read the race recap by Bob Finan and results below as provided by the track (Legends portion extracted for posting on LN).
Redemption came for INEX Legend Race Car veteran Anthony Marsh of Riverhead when he scored his first win of 2024 in their 20-lap main event. Like Modified winner Rutkoski, Marsh has suffered through a rough 2024 campaign. Lined-up to the outside of 13-year-old Rodney Dowless Jr. for the start, Marsh would ride second behind the impressive teenager for the first three laps before ducking under for the race lead on lap 4. Undaunted in losing the lead, Dowless stayed right in Marsh’s tire tracks until he surrendered second to Riely O’Keefe on lap 13. Like Dowless before his, O’Keefe would have to be content riding behind Marsh as the laps clicked off. Not even a few late race double file restarts could get in the way of Anthony Marsh notching his 5th career win in the GT Power Systems coupe. Riely O’Keefe of Manorville was runner-up in the Crystal Clear Window Cleaning racer, while Rodney Dowless Jr. rounded out the podium in third with his Island Thrift entry.
