Ricky Thornton, Jr. came from the 10th starting spot to take the lead on a lap 14 restart on his way to victory in Monday night’s Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series feature at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Florida.
Thornton, Jr. recorded his second career series victory, and he became the seventh different winner in the first eight races of 2021.
Mike Marlar had his best series finish of the season. He took second, with Hudson O’Neal crossing the line in third. Devin Moran was fourth and current series point leader Brandon Overton of Evans, Georgia finished in fifth.
Brian Shirley grabbed the lead and held it for the first 11 laps of the race until Blairsville, Georgia’s Jonathan Davenport passed him on lap 12. Davenport’s lead was short-lived as he had trouble on a lap 13 restart when his engine stalled heading into turn one. Thornton, Jr. took over the lead with O’Neal and Marlar behind him on the restart. Thornton, Jr. carried his momentum to the checkers to take the win by 1.1 seconds over Marlar.
“The cautions helped quite a bit and cleared out traffic for us.” Said Thornton, Jr. “We struggled at All-Tech and the first part of East Bay, though it was probably more me than the car. The ending at East Bay was a confidence booster and to come here and run as good as we did tonight definitely feels great and says a lot about our team.”
Mark Whitener, Kyle Bronson, Bobby Pierce, Tanner English, and Tim McCreadie rounded out the top 10.
