  Thornton Earns Career First Ralph Latham Memorial Victory at Florence

  UNION, Ky. (May 6, 2023) - Ricky Thornton Jr. regained his early season form in winning Saturday night's 37th Annual Ralph Latham Memorial at the Florence Speedway. In a spectacular race where the top four drivers battled it out for the lead, Thornton pulled away in the last few laps to secure his third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season. Thornton was the third different leader of the highly contested race as he came from the seventh starting spot to secure the $15,000 victory. Current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point leader Hudson O'Neal came home in second with Brandon Overton completing the Big River Steel Podium. Garrett Alberson was one of the contenders for the win as he charged from his 19th starting spot to earn the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race - finishing fourth. Tim McCreadie, who started 18th rallied for fifth at the end. Jonathan Davenport, the reigning Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 winner started from the pole and bolted to the lead at the start of the race. Davenport pulled away from the field as O'Neal moved past Spencer Hughes for second on the third lap. O'Neal then closed the gap that had developed between himself and Davenport as the two ran two distinctly different lines. Overton made it a three-way battle for the top spot just as the first caution of the race came out on lap ten. On the restart it took O'Neal just three laps to get by Davenport to become the second different leader of the race. Overton and Thornton both passed Davenport, dropping to fourth in the running order, with 19 laps scored as the caution would come out. On the restart Thornton had the momentum on the top shelf passing both O'Neal and Overton as he took the lead on lap 23. Bobby Pierce was starting to show his usual Florence Speedway strength against the outside retaining wall as he climbed to third, but just as that happened an issue developed for Pierce forcing him pit side with 24 laps complete. The heated battle would slow once again with 15 laps remaining. On the restart Thornton surged away to a 2.554 second advantage when the checkers fell. It was Thornton's second career win at Florence after he won the Spring 50 in 2021. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the eighth time in his career, Thornton emerged from the 20RT to the roar of the large crowd. "I told my guys my goal was to come out and win tonight. The car took off after that one restart. I was able to get by Hud [O'Neal] and Brandon [Overton]. I thought it was going to be around the bottom longer than it was. It's easy to knock the right rear off the car here. You can look at my quarter panel and see that. But at the end I just wanted to keep it off the wall and hit my marks because I knew those other guys were not going to give up. Overall, I am excited to get this win." O'Neal will maintain his championship point lead heading into Farmer City and Fairbury next weekend. "I made just one mistake and that is all it took. I let Ricky [Thornton Jr.] and Brandon [Overton] get by me there after that one caution and then Brandon made a mistake, and I got back by him. We just had to be a little conservative there for a while. I was trying to get to Ricky to see if we could do something with him and I just made a costly mistake there in one and two. We are happy with the weekend we had, a win and two seconds is a good weekend for me. I will take that any day. Ricky made very few mistakes up front and that was the difference." Overton was the only driver among the top three that did not lead a lap during the race. "We've got an awesome car. I made all my money running through the middle there. It's hard for me to run any kind of different lines around the track. As soon as I got up there to run the top, I got into the wall it knocked my helmet crooked and I thought I need to get back down to the bottom. It was a heck of race. Congrats to Ricky [Thornton Jr.] and Hudson [O'Neal] they did a heck of a job man. I just needed 50 more laps you know. But we had an awesome three days of racing." The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns-owned, SSI Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Sub-Surface of Indiana, Dyno-One Inc., Wets Side Tractor Sales, D&E Outside Services, Certified Inspection Service Company, Inc., Sunoco Race Fuels, Bilstein Shocks, Midwest Sheet Metal, and Murty Farms. Completing the top ten were Cory Hedgecock, Jonathan Davenport, Earl Pearson Jr., Devin Moran, and Logan Roberson.
