Edited below to add the race recap from Bob Finan below and the results provided by the track.
The Miller Lite Triple Crown Series got underway for the INEX Legend Race Cars with a 30-lap tilt. Opening night winner Kyle Ellwood of Riverhead would prevail for his 21st career victory in a hotly contested race. Riely O’Keefe led most recent winner Ben Morabito early on, but a quick yellow for a Richie Davidowitz slowed the pace on lap 3. On the restart O’Keefe remained out front with veteran Ray Fitzgerald now second. On lap 10 Kyle Ellwood began to flex his muscles passing Fitzgerald to the outside for second and setting sail for leader O’Keefe. Over the following 10-lap segment Ellwood sized O’Keefe up for a pass finally seizing an opportunity completing an inside pass on lap 21. O’Keefe wasn’t finished though, as he quickly attempted to cross Ellwood over off turn two on lap 22 with both Fitzgerald and Morabito right on the leading duo’s rear bumpers. When the checkers fell Kyle Ellwood steering the Star Metal Building racer took home a hard-fought win. Riely O’Keefe of Manorville settled for second in the Crystal Clear Window Cleaning entry while Ray Fitzgerald of Manorville was third in the EP Milling & Sweeping machine.
