LEHIGHTON, Pa. -- This Saturday night, May 5 at Lehighton’s Mahoning Valley Speedway, the paved quarter mile oval will host the INEX Legends. The popular scaled spec race cars will join the track’s weekly classes of Modified, Late Models, Street Stocks, Dirt Mods and 4-Cylinder Stocks. Race time is 6:00 p.m.

The INEX Legends have not raced at Mahoning Valley since 2009. They ran a pair of features that season with current Modified ace Mike Carroll, Jr., taking both wins.

INEX is the third largest short track sanctioning body behind NASCAR Weekly Racing and International Motor Contest Association (IMCA) with more than 3,500 members. INEX annually sanctions more than 2,000 races at more than 200 different tracks throughout the world.

During Mahoning’s pre-season Test and Tune sessions there were numerous Legends cars that came out to practice giving an inkling that a solid car count will be on hand for this Saturday evening.

The Legends car will also be back the following Saturday, May 12.

Mahoning Valley is fresh off a hugely successful debut of the Mahoning Modified Madness Series which was highlighted by the Triple 25s.
