Devin O'Connell takes Legends Victory at Stafford Speedway, Conn.

In the 20-lap Legends Car feature event, Teddy Hodgdon took the early lead and began to streak away from Cory DiMatteo in second.  As the field completed six laps, Hodgdon spun in turn 1 and he slid to the rear of the field before getting back up to speed.  This moved Cory DiMatteo inot the lead with his brother Dana DiMatteo and Devin O’Connell right on his bumper.  The caution flew with 10 laps complete for a spin by Mikey Flynn in turn 4 of the mini-mile.
Cory DiMatteo resumed the lead on the restart while Joe Graf, Jr. was hanging tough on the outside of Dana DiMatteo in a fight for second place.  DiMatteo won that battle two laps after the restart and O’Connell moved by Graf to slot into third behind the two DiMatteos.  Kyle Rogers was fifth, with Andrew Molleur and Hodgdon lined up behind him.
On lap-16 there was contact up front between the DiMatteo brothers with Cory spinning and Dana losing the lead to O’Connell as the race stayed under green flag conditions.  O’Connell led Dana DiMatteo to the checkered flag to pick up his fourth overall win and third consecutive win of the 2015 season.  Rogers finished third, with Graf and Hodgdon rounding out the top-5.
