LEGENDS CARS FINAL FOUR

The Final Four contenders in the Nick’s Pit Stop Legends Cars include Chase Silvia, Jacob “Rowdy” Burns, Richie Helger Jr. and Mason Tessier. All of them but Tessier have won this season, multiple times each. But Tessier made it into the Final Four with consistency.


Burns is the defending Legends Cars champion. Also making the Final Four on NASCAR Saturday in the Late Models, Burns will have a chance to double-down and win two titles in the same season. In a year filled with ups and downs, Burns has three Legends Cars wins and constant top-five finishes. He will be a major threat to capture a second straight championship on Fast Friday.


Chase Silvia earned the most playoff points of anyone in the first two weeks, with 11. He did that with a victory in the first race and a second-place finish in round two. The driver of the No. 17 seems to have caught fire in the second half of the season, finishing on the podium in four of the final six races, including winning twice.


Richie Helger Jr. enters the Final Four with two wins of his own on the season. He made the Final Four in the Legends Cars last year, so has some experience to lean back on. With consistent speed throughout the whole year, Helger will be a threat to capture the crown. 


And Tessier, the consistent one, enters with optimism. It’s likely it will take a win or at least a podium run to win the championship. Tessier has no wins and just two podium finishes this year, but would pick no better time to get to the front of the field. He’s a veteran of the division.


In the Legends Cars division, there was a tie for the final spot, with Tessier and Brenden LaBelle both sitting at five playoff points. The tiebreaker was broken with who was highest in the overall season points total - Tessier. 


The Final Four championship event for the Nick’s Pit Stop Legends Cars division will take place on D.A.V. Championship weekend on Friday, September 27. Racing begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are available online at SeekonkSpeedway.com.
