What won the race: Diving under polesitter Jonathan Davenport in turn three on a lap-15 restart, Ricky Thornton Jr. of Chandler, Ariz., pulled away to win Sunday's 40-lap Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event at Port Royal Speedway. Thornton completed a successful three-race Mid-Atlantic weekend on the national circuit with a $10,000 victory after a narrow runner-up finish Friday in Georgetown, Del., and $25,000 victory Saturday in Hagerstown, Md. Davenport settled for second after leading 14 laps at Port Royal, 3.655 seconds behind Thornton, who notched his series-leading sixth victory of 2025.

Quotable: "I don't think J.D. really knew how good the bottom was getting into (turn) three, just that first lap (after the lap-15 restart), and then once the middle kind of cleaned up and we could start rolling again," Thornton said. "So thankful I wasn't the leader at that point. (I was) just able to move around and see what works best."
