AC Transmission Legends
It’s been another fantastic year for the Legend Cars as we’ve seen some great racing action and even some fresh faces emerge in the winner’s circle this season. Typically, most race nights see a split in the field to give those with less experience a chance to race a feature and hone their skills to move up into the fast legend feature. No.57 Jarret Scarberry was red hot early picking up 3 legend feature wins in a row before moving up into the fast legend features. This impressive performance to start the year off has led to an incredible rookie of the year battle in the division.
Meanwhile, in the Fast Legends, a familiar face has led the way all season long. No.22 Chris Eggleston has picked up 6 wins including a sweep of the 4th of July features. Chris had a large points margin heading into the legend invasion when trouble struck and he took a hard tumble down the backstretch. This allowed the points gap to narrow heading into this Saturday’s race. Other winners in the fast legends include No.78C Colton Crocker (who picked up his first ever Fast Legend Car win on July 15th), No.66 Kyle Clegg (2), and our most recent winner during the Legend Invasion: No.78X Darrell Stewart Jr. Winners in the Legends include No.57 Jarrett Scarberry (3), No.73 Mike Markison, No.33 Dillyn Kellogg, No.32 Cody Milan, No.1 Ryan Land. Join us Saturday to find out if Chris Eggleston will become a 6-time champion and pick up his 3rd straight championship.
