Thornton Holds Off Rice in Buckeye Spring 50 at Atomic
CHILLICOTHE, OH (March 21, 2025) - Reigning Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion Ricky Thornton Jr. secured his first career victory at Atomic Speedway, taking home the $15,000 prize for winning the Buckeye Spring 50 on Friday night. Thornton successfully fended off a determined Josh Rice, marking his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season. Rice, who closed in on Thornton several times during the last 39 laps of the race, finished second by 0.541 seconds at the line. Devin Moran came in third, followed by Mike Marlar and Hudson O'Neal. Thornton jumped to the lead at the start of the race, with Jonathan Davenport running in second place. Davenport stayed close to Thornton until a lapped car came down on him, forcing Davenport to spin in turn two after ten laps as the caution was displayed for him, requiring a restart from the back of the field. Rice then moved into second place as he and Garrett Alberson raced hard for that position, with Moran joining the battle after starting in ninth. Moran briefly took second, but Rice fought back to reclaim the position. In the closing laps, Rice managed to catch up to Thornton, but he couldn't pull off a last-minute move on the final lap to try and steal the win from Thornton. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 46th time in his career, Thornton has now assumed the championship points lead as he heads to Brownstown on Saturday. "I knew Josh (Rice) was going to be good, really, I thought he was a little better than I was there I was just able to get out in front of him. I've got a little right-side damage. I got behind a lapped car, and he kept kind of going low, and he turned back to the bottom finally, and I knew it was time I had to go, or I was going to get passed, so I and he hit a little bit, obviously I got some right-side damage. It's part of it, so we will have it ready tomorrow at Brownstown." "It was a hard-earned 50 laps for sure. With JD starting next to me this is one of his better race-tracks. I don't know what happened to him. You don't want to see a guy be the yellow, especially him; you want to beat guys like that straight up." Rice, who came into the event with two career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victories at Florence Speedway, nearly stole the show at Atomic. "Really, I felt like I needed it to stay green. We were a little bit harder on tires than he was. It was a heck of a race. Ricky did everything he had to do to win that one. I am sure all of the fans loved it. Really, this is our first weekend out; last weekend wasn't so good. We adjusted good on the car tonight. I feel like we did some stuff we don't normally do, and it worked out from hot laps to qualifying. I had a totally different racecar with just a slight adjustment." Moran, who maintained second in the points and heads to Brownstown tomorrow as the defending Indiana Icebreaker winner, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I've got to start closer to the front. I feel like I have been starting all these races in the back and having to pass cars. Ricky and Josh were really good. I had a couple of chances to slide Josh, and I knew he was going to be on the gas, and I didn't want to do that. All-in-all, they did an awesome job with the racetrack." The winner's Koehler Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Ultimate Towing and Recovery, Elite Ready Mix, Capital Waste, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms Racing, Sunoco Race Fuels, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, Certified Inspection Services, and Knight's Companies. Completing the top ten were Garrett Alberson, Brandon Overton, Carson Ferguson, Donald McIntosh, and Jonathan Davenport.

BATAVIA, Ohio (January 3, 2024) - In the wake of Portsmouth Raceway Park announcing it won't host racing in 2025, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, Independence 50 will shift to Atomic Speedway. The tour's second visit to Atomic Speedway precedes Muskingum County Speedway's Freedom 60 for an action-packed Fourth of July weekend. Both events will pay $25,000 to win. "We couldn't be happier to have the opportunity to host another Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event," said Atomic Speedway owner Charlie Vest. "We wish the best for the Coleman family and the future of Portsmouth Raceway Park." Portsmouth had been on every Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule since 2007, hosting 37 series races through 2023, including the tour's Dirt Track World Championship season finale from 2011-22. "Portsmouth Raceway Park has been a pillar of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series for over a decade," Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Director Rick Schwallie commented. "Working with the Coleman family has been a pleasure, and we wish them all the best. While the circumstances are unfortunate, we are grateful to Atomic Speedway for filling the void.
