Legends and Bandolero cars turned laps Saturday afternoon in an offseason INEX race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It was the second straight night of quarter-mile racing on the Thunder Ring as drivers prepare for the Winter Flurry series beginning later this fall.
Mark Swan led all 20 laps in the Masters Division feature for the offseason victory. Behind him, Tony Armbruster finished in second, followed by Bill Whatley in third, Dennis Hecht in fourth and Randy Shubert in fifth.
Shelby Ruark beat out Brody Graham in the closing laps of the Rookie Bandolero Division feature. After winning the pole and cruising in the lead through the first 18 laps of the 20-lap feature, Graham looked to make it a clean sweep for the win. But a late surge by Ruark allowed her to pass Graham exiting Turn 2 on the 19th lap, and she would stay ahead for the final two circuits and the win. Graham held on for second, with Cameron Potter in third.
In the Young Lions Division, Rafe Slate led the field to green from the pole and never trailed, leading all 20 laps for the offseason victory. Runner up Cale Hall threatened Slate a number of times, tapping his bumper in the corners, but he couldn’t quite find enough speed to overtake Slate. Hunter Johnson finished in third, with Audrie Ruark in fourth and Andrew Dollar in fifth.
Jensen Jorgensen took the win in the caution free combined Semi-Pro/Pro Division feature, with Christopher Clanton, Brandon Brock, Corey Heim and David Lawrence rounding out the top five.
Pole winner Blaise Maddox led each of the first 10 laps of the Outlaws Division feature and had the momentum at the halfway point. But a persistent Joshua Hicks saw an opening to the inside as the pair rounded Turn 2 on the 11th lap, and took the lead, which he would never relinquish. Hicks went on to take the victory, with Maddox in second and Blaze Crawford in third.
Michael Gannon led every lap of the Bandits Division feature to take the victory. Clay Thompson finished in second, with Wil Griffis in third, Kenneth Henderson in fourth and Ryan Younginer in fifth.
Friday night offseason racing winners included Griffis in the Rookie Bandolero Division, Thompson in the Bandits Division, Trey Tadrzak of Stockbridge in the Outlaws Division, Jorgensen in the combined Semi-Pro/Young Lions Division and Wes Potter in the Masters Division, his first-ever victory on the Thunder Ring.
Legends and Bandolero racing return to the Thunder Ring in two weeks as Atlanta Motor Speedway hosts the 2016 Bandolero Nationals on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 23-24.
