Dylan Thornton tops Malvern Bank East Series at Maquoketa
After Friday’s Malvern Bank East Series event at Davenport Speedway was rained out, Dylan Thornton’s Memorial Day weekend got underway Saturday at Maquoketa Speedway, where he piloted the Kay Motorsports No. 38T Late Model.
Thornton advanced from fifth to third in his heat race before charging to the front on the opening lap of the feature. He went on to lead all 30 laps, dominating the main event to secure his ninth win of the season. The $3,000 payday also marked his third career Malvern Bank East Series victory.
Thornton wrapped up the weekend on Sunday at Dubuque Fairgrounds Speedway, finishing fifth in his heat and gaining three spots in the 30-lap feature to record a solid fourth-place result.
On the heels of Saturday's win, Thornton is now tied with Dallon Murty atop the latest Malvern Bank East Series standings.
