Matt Pappa has won races all over the East Coast in Legends Cars, and made his debut in the Amsoil Nelcar Legends Tour a memorable one at Seekonk Speedway. This past Sunday was the season opener for all Seekonk Speedway divisions, including the newly formed Nick’s Pitstop Friday Night Legends Series. Not only was it their first race but it was also the fourth Amsoil Nelcar Legends Tour race, with a tight point’s battle. 26 Legends Cars were on tap for what was set to be yet another exciting Nelcar race.
The heat races were determined by time trials earlier in the day, and for the first heat race it was Pappa on the pole with the 3 of Nick Ladyga on the outside. Those two were able to take off from the start with Pappa opening up with the early lead. That would be how the finish ended up, with Pappa running away with the heat win. Ladyga was second with the 56 of Evan Beaulieu rounding out the top three.
In heat race number two it was the 18 of Tom Gray on the pole with his team mate Shaun Buffington to his outside. Those two ran side by side until the first yellow of the day came out for a spin by the 60 of Joey Parker. Parker was able to continue on. On the next run, it was still the Gray and Buffington show at the front while the 38 of Matt Bourgoine and the 89 of Nick Lascoula followed. At the finish, Buffington was able to beat Gray by .007 of a second and picked up the heat win.
