Throwback LEGENDS: ItalianDragon gets second last-place finish of the season in series debut event at Greenville-Pickens

ItalianDragon picked up the 2nd last place finish of his ONL NASCAR Legends Series career in the Season 1 Greenville 200 at the Greenville-Pickens Speedway when his #30 unsponsored Dodge completed all 20 laps under power.

The finish, came in his 14th career series start, was his first on the circuit since he completed all 32 laps of the Atlanta 500 at the Atlanta International Raceway, 9 races ago.

Ever since trailing the field at Atlanta, ItalianDragon has shown he has talent, finishing 7th at Bristol in the very next event before backing it up the very next round by finishing 8th at Talladega. A 9th place finish at Martinsville would be his best finish in the last six rounds while he struggled back to the bottom of the field, finishing 18th at Michigan and then 17th in the return trip to Riverside, as the series traveled back across the country from California to South Carolina for the series first ever event at the half mile track.

On race day, ItalianDragon would roll off the grid starting 19th while Bristol last-place finisher the #06 Warren Fox Dodge of bigdaddy RCN rolled off last. it didn't take long for the battle for last to end, as by the end of the first lap, ItalianDragon had fallen back to last and with no cautions flying, he would lose nearly five seconds on the rest of the field, barely finishing ahead of race winner Truttle, who picked up career win number five for the season.

The remaining Bottom Five finished on the same lap as the race leaders: 19th was the #6 unsponsored Dodge of Nitahbk, 18th was spring Riverside last-place finisher the #24 Casa Linda / Sahara Motel Ford of Chakat Whitelion, 17th was the #34 unsponsored Ford of Trail Blazer and 16th was four time last-place finisher the #64 Woodfield Ford of dragonboy.
