What won the race: Edging ahead of Dylan Yoder on the opening circuit, second-starting Jeff Rine of Danville, Pa., led all 30 laps to win the opener of the Tri-Track Challenge at Port Royal Speedway. Rine avoided a potential calamity with a lapped car late in the race and pulled away over the final three tours to win $3,000. Yoder finished second, while Kyle Lee nipped Tyler Bare by inches to place third.

Key notes: Yoder trekked Rine down in lapped traffic with five laps remaining and the two got together as they tried to avoid a backmarker. Yoder got a good run off of turn four, but with nowhere to go he crashed into the rear deck of Rine’s machine; they avoided catastrophe and kept racing with Rine beating Yoder to the checkered flag by 1.427 seconds for his second win of '18 at Port Royal. … Lee and Bare battled hard for third place with Lee claiming the spot by a mere 0.025 of a second. ... Bare had a new engine bolted inside his Bryan Klinedinst-owned No. 43A after breaking a powerplant the previous week at Bedford (Pa.) Speedway. ... Andy Haus blew a rear tire to bring out a caution on lap five. … A second caution waved with 14 laps remaining. ... Friday night's scheduled Tri-Track Challenge opener at Bedford was postponed by rain until July 6; the middle race of the miniseries will be June 8 at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa.

Winner's sponsors: Rine’s Jeff Kurtz-owned Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Jay Dickens Racing Engine and carries sponsorship from Jeff’s Auto Body and Recycling Center, Eagle Towing & Recovery, Moon Shine Camo and Penske Racing Shocks.
