PORT ROYAL, Pa. — For the third time in five races at Port Royal Speedway, the winning Weikert Livestock 410 sprint car driver started from ninth or further back to pick up the win and claim an extra $300 on top of their winnings.
On Saturday night, it was Tyler Courtney, who charged from 10th on the grid to earn the victory.
Garrett Bard, in his second year of full time 410 sprint car racing, would start on the pole of the A-main event and would lead the opening 17 laps of the race.
Bard would battle with the driver of the Clauson-Marshall No. 7bc through the corners of the speedway, but the Kubota High Limit Racing driver would overtake the Port Royal Speedway regular in the third turn and not look back.
Courtney would take home a $5,000 winner’s check as well as earn an extra $300 for his driver to the front from his 10th place starting spot on top of $500 courtesy of Valley Supply for being the night’s hard charging driver. His check at the end of the evening would total $5,800.
“That was the reason for coming here tonight,” said Courtney in victory lane when talking about making the unscheduled trip to Port Royal Speedway. “I’m excited for next weekend and seeing this place packed full of fans.”
Spencer Bayston, also a Kubota High Limit Racing regular, would come from eighth to finish in the runner up spot. Austin Bishop finished third.
In Selinsgrove Ford super late model competition, there were many movers and shakers throughout the main event, but it came down to the final corner which saw Colton Flinner overtake Trever Feathers and pick up the $5,000 check at the end of the night.
Ryan Zook won the limited late model feature.
