Bakersfield’s Colton Page won the INEX Legends Tour Series 40-lap feature. Carson City, Nevada’s Nick Halen was the early race leader with a dragging bumper, which Page repeatedly tagged throughout the event.
The leaders drove into lapped traffic by lap 17. A three-wide maneuver saw Page nearly steal the lead on the outside on lap 23. They raced side-by-side down the backstretch with Page taking car No. 24P to the lead on lap 24.
Stockton’s Donny Darter spun on lap 26. Bakersfield’s Eddie Garone used the restart to drive high, wide, and handsome up to challenge for second. Darter and Jim Clark came together in an incident that sent Darter through the infield for a caution.
Page earned the win over Halen, Garone, Nathan Quella of Yorba Linda, and Tracy’s Brendan Ruzbarsky.
Las Vegas’ Keaton Harbison won the 15-lap INEX Bandolero feature in his Madera debut.
