Despite yet another large field, Patrick
Conrad continued his dominance of the RE/MAX Legends
Car Series at Orlando Speedworld Saturday night taking
his eighth win of the season in nine starts.
Conrad led most of the way in the
25 lapper while the battle this week was behind him
featuring the Abbott brothers, Kevin and Kory and Sam
Watts.
The top four were well in front of
the rest of the field when both Abbott brothers and
Watts performed
an almost choreographed triple spin coming out of turn
two just before the half way mark of the race.
Amazingly, all three kept going with
no caution flag needed and the only driver to lose a
spot on the track was Watts
and he quickly made that up.
The spin did cause a problem for Kory
Abbott as a rear support had been damaged and it broke
five laps later sending him to the pits for the night
and bringing out a yellow flag that gave the field one
last shot at Conrad. However Conrad was easily up to
the challenge and he took the win over Kevin Abbott,
Watts, Jordan Richardson,
and Jeff Deggeller, the rookie Masters driver who continues
to get better and better every week.
Wesley McLeod, Brandon Thomson, Mike
Verhaagh, Jared Cawley and Derrick Wood rounded out
the top ten. Twenty-one cars were entered.
Mike Landis continued to dominate
the Modified Lites taking his third straight checkered
flag with his brother George Landis finishing second
for the third consecutive time here. Zane Davis came
home third ahead of Stan Hope and Bill Burback.
On the other hand, there was a new
winner in the Pro Challenge Class as 2003 champion Howard
Brennan took home the checker ahead of Rod Sanders,
Ken Watts, Mark David and Tyler David.
Josh Williams ended Gerald White Jr.'s
big win streak by taking the win in the Bandelero Bandits.
White was second ahead of North Carolina's Cole Miktuk,
Blake Eden and Chad Akins.
Chelsea Schillig and her big smile
were back in victory lane after the Bandelero Young
Guns feature for her third win of the year. The Jarrett
brothers, Scott and Matthew were second and third trailed
by Nick Wesenik and Kara Clarke. Evan Russell was the
top finishing Bandelero Outlaw.
Bobby Crites wrapped up the evening
by taking his second Hurricane win of the year in his
Volkswagen Rabbit. Adam Soukup crossed the line second
and was allowed to keep his trophy although he was asked
not to bring the car back because of a technical violation.
Sly Cawley, William Hindman and Michael Bass rounded
out the top five.
