Jonathan Davenport wins again
Jonathan Davenport has been the dominant Dirt Late Model driver throughout the summer and little happened during Friday night’s Group B Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned feature at Port Royal Speedway to change that. The No. 49 machine took the lead with less than 10 laps to go then drove on to the victory.
The Longhorn Chassis driver from Blairsville, Georgia earned a $5,000 payday at the track located in Port Royal, PA in a race aired live by FloRacing.com.
A total of 51 cars were signed in for competition

Feature Re-cap: Ferguson jumped out to the lead at the start of the 25-lap event with Davenport, Strickler, Thornton and McCreadie trailing. Satterlee moved into the top-5 on the second lap when he moved by McCreadie. Satterlee continued to move forward one lap later when he passed Thornton for fourth.
Ferguson had initially built an advantage over his pursuers but Davenport erased that lead on lap 6. further back, McCreadie recovered what had earlier been lost when he took fifth from Thornton. At the same time, Davenport continued to harass Ferguson for the race lead.
Those efforts paid off on lap 17 when Davenport got by Ferguson for the race lead. From that point, the frequent 2022 winner then pulled away and sailed to the victory.
