PEORIA, Ariz. (Jan. 31) – Ricky Thornton Jr.’s latest Winter Challenge Series feature win at Canyon Speedway Park came with a bonus.
Along with a fourth consecutive $1,000 prize, Thornton gained the top spot in point standings for the IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified series Friday night.
“The season started off way better that we thought it would,” he said after catching Tim Ward for the point lead. “Hopefully we can keep hitting our setup.”
After returning to the sixth starting spot, Thornton was quick to shoot to second behind Chris Olexiewicz.
Olexiewicz held Thornton off until the 10th of 25 laps, then fell back after relinquishing the lead.
Jeremy Mills, Ryan Roath, Jason Noll and Ward completed the eventual top five.
