The Chandler, AZ driver, led all 30 laps en route to his first Volusia Speedway Park Victory<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A year ago, Ricky Thornton Jr. seemed destined for his first DIRTcar Nationals win\u2014until heartbreak struck. He lost the lead on a late-race restart, spoiling his chances for victory.<\/p>\n

History didn\u2019t have a chance to repeat itself Monday night. The Chandler, AZ driver took advantage of a caution-free Feature, leading all 30-laps to score his first DIRTcar Nationals win at Volusia Speedway Park.<\/p>\n

Thornton jumped to the roof of his car in Victory Lane, raising two fists into the Florida sky and letting out a joyful scream\u2014knowing he got his redemption and the $7,000 paycheck.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like we almost had one last year, and we gave it away there late in the race,\u201d Thornton said. \u201cThis is pretty awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Thornton dominated the event, he knew he had to be sharp at the start of the race. \u201cRTJ\u201d lined up next to Brandon Overton, who won the last DIRTcar Nationals Feature in 2021.<\/p>\n

Thornton powered ahead of Overton on the outside lane, grabbing a lead he\u2019d never relinquish off Turn 2. The outside was where Thornton wanted to go, allowing him to set his own pace in the early stages of the Feature.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually preferred starting on the outside; that way, I could run into [Turn 1] as hard as I wanted,\u201d Thornton said. \u201cIt worked out for us; I got a really good start and got out in front of [Overton].<\/p>\n

\u201cI was trying to distance myself as much as I could; that way, once we did get to traffic and I had to slow down, they wouldn\u2019t get by me. The top never really slowed down all the way, so it\u2019s pretty awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Thornton drove away from the field, Chris Madden charged from his eighth starting position to finish second. The Gray Court, SC campaigner, took the opposite approach from Thornton, using the bottom en route to a runner-up finish.<\/p>\n

Madden felt he could\u2019ve had a shot at the win if he had a better starting position.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe needed to start closer to the front,\u201d Madden said. \u201cWe qualified good tonight, inverted back, and then started, I think eighth there.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a really good racecar tonight. I\u2019m really proud of my guys; I\u2019m proud of our finish; I\u2019m proud of our car and what we learned tonight. It was a great racetrack, and we had a fun race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Defending DIRTcar Nationals champion Devin Moran crossed the line third\u2014his 13th straight top-10 finish in 2022.<\/p>\n

The Dresden, OH driver felt he wasn\u2019t good enough on the outside to contend with both Thornton and Madden.<\/p>\n

\u201cRicky was checked out pretty good, and I think Chris [Madden] was a little better than us,\u201d Moran said. \u201cWe were probably a third-place car, we were too tight to run the top, and we just need to work on it a little bit and get it ready for tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pole-sitter Brandon Overton finished fourth, and Dale McDowell rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

Ricky Thornton Jr. didn\u2019t back down from a second chance at winning his first Gator\u2014giving him DIRTcar Nationals redemption. It\u2019s a momentum that keeps his eyes on a larger prize\u2014a \u201cBig Gator\u201d trophy on his mantle.<\/p>\n

The quest for a \u201cBig Gator\u201d continues Tuesday night at Volusia Speedway Park as the Late Models return for their second night of action at DIRTcar Nationals. For tickets, CLICK HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n
