It was another big day for Nova Scotian Bandolero drivers in Orlando, Florida during Day Two of INEX Winter Nationals.

Both Langille and Mahar run out of Scotia Speedworld in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Braden Langille of Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, the 2014 Hydraulics Plus Bandolero champion at Scotia Speedworld, captured his second consecutive pole and race win in the Bandolero Outlaw division at Orlando Speedworld. Luke Ettinger of Kennetcook, Nova Scotia finished seventh in the 20-lap feature.

Danny Chisholm of Canning, Nova Scotia was the top finishing Bandolero Bandits driver from Canada, finishing 10th in the feature. Austin MacDonald had a left front suspension failure on the #27 car five laps into the race, which swept up Josh Langille in the aftermath. Langille and MacDonald were scored in 14th and 15th, respectively.

It was also a good day for Legend cars out of Atlantic Canada. Nicholas Naugle rebounded from a Lap One, Turn One wreck on Day One to finish on the podium in the Semi Pro Legends division. Behind Naugle in fourth place was Cory Hall, who finished in the top five in his fourth consecutive Legend car race dating back to the Winter Heat Series in Charlotte. Ontario’s Nick Ledson, the 2014 Winter Nationals Semi Pro champion, came home in sixth place in the division.
