Reigning event champion Ryan Timms inherited a dramatic victory in Thursday night’s Tuscarora 50 weekend opener at Port Royal Speedway sanctioned by Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing when race-long leader Chase Dietz suffered a right-rear flat tire while leading with three laps remaining.
Rico Abreu paced the opening five circuits before Dietz took command on lap six and led through lap 22, only for the late tire failure to hand the lead — and ultimately the victory — to Timms. For complete results, see below.
