The 2023 Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday season kicked off on May 31 with a lot of great racing action at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl in Connecticut. In Legends competition, Isaiah Newcomb took the checkered flag first, while Milania Shilosky swept the double features for the Bandoleros.

Defending INEX Legend Car champion Isaiah Newcomb dominated the event leading every lap to start the season off with a win. The race had a couple minor cautions that shuffled the rest of the field around, and near the end Shileigh Martinez was really turning up the heat. She didn’t have enough time to reel in the dominant Newcomb.
Speaking of defending champions, Milania Shilosky swept both INEX Bandolero events of the day. Like Reed, she started the first event on point and never looked back leading every lap to score the win. The second event, after handicapping, she had to start deeper in the field. Allyha DeSomma led the field to green but didn’t hold on to it for long as Shilosky would once again lead every lap to win. DeSomma ran a solid third for the first part of the race, reeling in Grayson Day from Saco Maine. She would be okay after heavy contact with the turn 4 wall slowed the event.
