PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — Crowd favorite Josh McGuire took the $10,000 winner’s share after Saturday’s Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Glockner Toyota River Days Rumble 75 at his home track of Portsmouth Raceway Park.
McGuire became the 22nd-different winner in the Lucas series this season, leading 66 of 75 laps en route to the checkers.
“I hope the fans enjoyed that one, I sure did. I got excited at about lap three of the race, and then to wait through those caution flags was agonizing at the end, but it feels great to finally win a Lucas Oil race here in front of the home crowd,” McGuire said.
Donnie Moran followed in second ahead of Steve Casebolt in third.
Dan Schlieper and Darren Miller rounded out the top five.
The finish:
Josh McGuire, Donnie Moran, Steve Casebolt, Dan Schlieper, Darren Miller, Scott James, Rod Conley, Brad Neat, Justin Rattliff, Billy Drake, Earl Pearson, Jr., Freddy Smith, Jackie Boggs, Steve Shaver, Brian Shirley, Davey Johnson, Eddie Carrier ,Jr., Terry Casey, RJ Conley, Bart Hartman, Audie Swartz, Ben Adkins, Mike Balzano, Matt Miller, Jeep VanWormer.
