In one of the richest races for Legend Car drivers in the history of the sport, Landen Lewis was able to drive to the victory in the $25,000-to-win race on Saturday, November 7, at Southern National Motorsports Park (NC).
Lewis timed in fifth during qualifying on Friday, however, during the top-10 Pole Shuffle, he was able to take the checkered flag first, starting on the pole for the 70-lap feature. Swapping the top spot a few times, Lewis was able to get back to the top spot and held on through to win. His Joe Ryan Racecars teammates Jacob Staten and Keelan Harvick finished second and third, with Jake Bollman and Jackson Lewis rounding out the top five.
