Fifteen-year-old native Las Vegan Jeremiah Wagner added to an already impressive list of Legends Pro performances when he took a win at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway during Thursday night’s Night of Fire before gaining a runner up effort Saturday at Orange Show Speedway in San Bernardino, Calif.
Driving a ’37 Chevy sedan, Wagner added to his Legend Pro points lead in the by scoring a resounding win over Brecken Snow, Dylan Kwasniewski, Dustin Ash and Jack Madrid in the 22-car, 20-lap main event recording his 17th victory of the season at LVMS.
On Saturday, Wagner won the trophy dash before finishing second to Santee’s Darren Amidon in the caution-plagued Lenos Rico Inex Legends competition. He passed Amidon three times – once on the final lap – but was forced to settle for second place when officials ruled the yellow had come out during the final lap.
The Orange Show race run over a quarter-mile paved track finished on a yellow flag. The scheduled 35-lap main with 23 starters was shortened to 31 laps due to so many accidents.
Wagner will next compete Friday at Orange Show and Saturday at Southern California’s Toyota Irwindale Raceway. He is now third in the 600 Racing Legends Pro standings and also has the most wins of any driver in the division.
Wagner also has two wins this year Orange Show and a single victory at Tucson Raceway Park. He is a four-time LVMS track champion.
