PORT ROYAL, Pa. It had been 11 years since Ryan Smith had parked in victory lane at Port Royal Speedway for his first career win.

On Saturday afternoon, he was able to get back there for the second time in his career behind the Kreitz Racing No. 69K and did so in comfortable fashion for the $5,000 payday.

Ricky Peterson Jr. would start alongside Lucas Wolfe to take the opening green flag of the 25-lap A-main event with Peterson getting out in front early. Within the opening lap, Smith would charge from his sixth-place starting spot and take the 3rd spot away from Jeff Halligan while also challenging Wolfe for second.

Smith would catch Peterson over the next four laps and with a good drive into the low side of turn one, Smith would get by Ricky Peterson Jr for the lead and wouldnt look back.

The A-main would remain green for the remainder of the race and Smith would finish with a margin of victory over four seconds.

To be honest with you I didnt know how to get here, joked Smith in victory lane referencing how long its been since he had won at Port Royal Speedway.

Chase Deitz would be the Ramseys Car Wash hard charging coming from the 10th starting spot to finish 2nd and Justin Whittall would round out the podium in third.

Super Late Model

In Penske Racing Shocks super late model competition, Rick Eckert was able to get back to victory lane in back to back weeks at Port Royal Speedway.

Drake Troutman would take the early race lead but after a pair of cautions over the opening three laps of the race, Eckert was able to utilize an outside starting lane on restart to get by both Colton Flinner and Troutman to take the race lead and not look back.

Troutman would run in second for the majority of the race with Flinner close in tow, when contact with a lapped car nearly took the Hyndman, Pa. driver out of contention. The driver of the No. 22* was able to reel the car back under his control and maintain speed and would hold on to finish in third with Flinner able to capitalize and finish in second.

Limited Late Models

For the Zimmerman Truck Repair limited late models, Kyle Hardy would lead from wire to wire and pick up the opening race win of the season for the division.

Lane Snook and Ryan Zook would round out the top three.
