Tyler Truex won in his first RLS start since Season 1 in a great race at concord. He lead 47 of 60 laps, taking the win in dominating fashion, picking up right where he left off in season 1. Aaron Wells finished the race in second over points leader David Rattler. Cameron Pierce, making his first RLS start finished in fourth and Marcus Dean had a great run in fifth spot. Defending Champion Mike Stodder was looking to make some points up on David Rattler but unfortunately was involved in a single car spin checking up for the last yellow, which relegated Stodder to a 6th place finish. The series races at Darlington next week with both David Rattler and Mike Stodder still going at it for the title.

Aaron Wells won his first race of the season in a great race at Richmond. At first glance the race would appear to be very tame as the race saw only 1 caution for only 5 laps, the racers were driving it three and four wide in what turned out to be a fantastic and clean race. 5 time race winner Peter Vasilopanagos made a great comeback after being involved in the first caution, going one lap down, earning the lucky dog and fighting back through the back to pack to earn 2nd place, which by the way is his worst finish all season. Dylan Goodin made a very impressive run for his best finish of the season in 3rd. David Rattler, who won his second consecutive pole of the season, increased his point lead with 4th place run. Thomas Miteer II rounded out the top five in 5th, scoring his 4th top five of the season. However, all of the close and tight racing would allow Aaron Wells to gain a lead that he would not give back and gain his first victory of the season. Courtesy of some early race trouble by second place in points, Mike Stodder, David Rattler now has his biggest points lead of the season at 20 points, but the title fight is far from over as the series heads to Concord.

Despite not running for points Peter Vasilopanagos has made quite an impression on the Rookie Legends Series this season as he earned his 5th victory of the season in as many races at Martinsville. Points leader David Rattler earned his first pole of the season and lead the field to green, but it wouldn't take Peter Vasilopanagos long to take a look under Rattler and grab the lead. David Rattler, who appeared to be the fastest on the track put immediate pressure on Vasilopanagos for the lead, but a series of mid-race cautions would halt his charge. Meanwhile the fight was on for third place, as Aaron Wells and defending champion Mike Stodder traded positions back and forth until a late race penalty relegated Wells to a 7th place finish, which would allow Stodder to secure 3rd spot. Dylan Goodin and David Brownell both had strong runs, both earning their first top 5 of the season in 4th and 5th respectively. A 2nd place run by Rattler would help him extend his points lead to 10 points over Mike Stodder. At the end of the day it was all Peter Vasilopanagos earning his fifth victory of the season.

Defending champion Mike Stodder won the Phoenix 60 to take his first win of the season. Logan Sheets started from pole and lead for 29 laps clinching most laps lead. The top four of Logan Sheets, Aaron Wells, David Rattler and Mike Stodder pulled ahead and ran together for most of the race. On a restart Logan Sheets had a problem getting through the gears and Mike Stodder took the lead for good. Stodder held off some late race challenges from Aaron Wells to claim his 5th RLS victory and first of the season. Aaron Wells, who was running in the 2nd position looped it around on the last lap while going for the lead, which resulted in a 7th place finish. David Rattler strengthened his points lead with a 2nd place finish, and Logan Sheets jumped to 2nd in points with a 3rd place finish. Thomas Mitteer II had a strong run in 4th and Ryan Jarred, making his first start of the season was 5th.

Brett Gutschow won the Season 1 Championship in style after winning his first race of the season at the serie's finale at Lanier. Although Brett finished a disapointing 12th at season opener he would never again finish outside the top 5 earning 667 points in the process. Tyler Truex finished 2nd in points after earning an astounding 4 wins as well as 5 poles and 6 top tens. In fact Tyler Truex was the only driver to have multiple wins all season. Other series winners included Nickalos Nyznik, who won in a wild race at Charlotte, Erik Jones, who led a dominating race at Irwindale and Nick Stroupe, who won in his only race this season at South Boston.
