Throwback LEGENDS: MoNsTer_RcN98 trails caution free race at Ontario

MoNsTer_RcN98 picked up the 1st last place finish of his ONL NASCAR Legends Series career in the Season 1 Ontario 500 at the Ontario Motor Speedway when his #99 Dow Chemicals Dodge completed all 20 laps under power.

The finish came in his 2nd career start. After finishing 5th in his series and league debut at Riverside one race ago, MoNsTer_RcN98 was excited to race in the next event as the series remained in California as the series raced for the first time ever at the 2.500 mile track.

On race day, MoNsTer_RcN98 would roll off starting in the 12th spot while the #30 unsponsored Dodge of ItalianDragon would start in the last spot as the field took the green flag. Much like the event at Riverside, records of Season 1 has been lost in time aside from race winners and that the race was a caution free, by the end of the 20 lap event, MoNsTer_RcN98 had fallen to last place.

The remaining Bottom Five was filled by drivers who all finished on the same lap as race winner Clone; 19th went to the #40 7-Up Plymouth of Dinkdrinker, 18th went to the #4 Mills Plumbing Dodge of Sicarius, 17th went to the #11 Don Wagner Ford of Onuki and finishing 16th was the #06 Warren Fox Dodge of bigdaddy RCN.

The career of MoNsTer_RcN98 would be a brief one as he would find the ONL NASCAR Legends Series his home, competing in only that series, struggling until Season 2 when in the 24th race of the season, the National 400, MoNsTer_RcN98 would lead 14 of the 40 laps and scored his lone SCRL sanctioned win. He has not competed in a SCRL race for several years, with his final race being the Season 2 Texas 500 at the Texas World Speedway where he finished 25th.
