Throwback Legends: CGKS23 last at Martinsville in brief SCRL career

CGKS23 picked up the 1st last place finish of her SCRL NASCAR Legends Series career in the S2 Old Dominion 500 at the Martinsville Speedway when her unsponsored #72 Ford fell out with valve trouble after 39 of the 50 laps.

The finish came in her 10th career series start. 

Coming into S2 of the NASCAR Legends Series, CGKS23 had yet to make her racing debut before signing up to a part time ride, deciding to run only the high points paying events and coming into Martinsville she had three Top 5's and Top 10s with only one previous race where she did not finish, however those results have been lost in time.

On race day, CGKS23 would roll off the grid in 26th spot. Starting last on the field was the unsponsored #61 Ford driven by Graham as a field of thrity nine drivers raced around the half mile track, giving room and space were it was needed as no cautions would fly during the fifty lap event but on the 39th lap, CGKS23 began to report her car was smoking and quickly drove to the safety of pit road were her crew discovered the valve was broken, ending her day eleven laps shy from the finish.

Rounding out the bottom five was the unsponsored #02 Dodge of eagle boy, the #9 Pepsi Ford of SpiderTre, the unsponsored #8 Ford of dragon and the unsponsored #45 Ford of Underseen, all of whom finished the race under power but one circuit behind race winner Big Jake23.

THE BOTTOM FIVE
39) #72-CGKS23 / 39 laps / valve
38) #02-eagle boy / 49 laps / running
37) #9-SpiderTre / 49 laps / running
36) #8-dragon / 49 laps / running
35) #45-Underseen / 49 laps / running
