Throwback LEGENDS: MoNsTer_RcN98 gets second last-place finish of the season in controversial first race at Charlotte

MoNsTer_RcN98 picked up the 2nd last place finish of his ONL NASCAR Legends Series career in the Season 1 World 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway when his #99 Dow Chemicals Dodge completed 39 of the 40 laps under power.

The finish came in his 10th career start, was his first on the circuit when he completed all 20 laps of the Ontario 500 at the Ontario Motor Speedway, 8 races ago.

After trailing the field at Ontario, MoNsTer_RcN98 would show flashes of talent as he picked up a career best 3rd place finish at Atlanta, along with three other top ten finishes and a 5th place at Bristol the race after Atlanta, while finishing 13th in the last race at Darlington as the series visited Charlotte for the longest race of the season.

On race day, MoNsTer would roll off starting in 11th while starting last was Bristol last-place finisher the #06 Warren Fox Dodge of bigdaddy RCN. Much like the other races in Season 1, racing details of the race have been lost while normally the finishing results have been saved, for the longest race of the season however, controversy surrounds the back end of the field as two drivers were scored finishing 17th with no driver been scored 20th. With the results being studied as best as possible, it was decided that MoNsTer_RcN98 was the driver that trailed the field that day, and with results unlikely to be found, it most likely the decision will stand.

Finishing 19th was the aforementioned #06 of bigdaddy RCN and finishing 18th was the #11 Don Wagner Ford of Onuki, both drivers being scored one lap down to the race leaders by the time the Checkered Flag waved.

The Remaining Bottom Five finished on the same lap as the race leaders; 17th was the #98 Jim Robbins Co. Ford of Chris Kyle and finishing 16th was the #4 Mills Plumbing Dodge of Sicarius.
