**Connor Dudek Holds Off Late Surge to Win Port Royal Thriller** Connor Dudek grabbed the lead late and made it stick in a white-knuckle finish at Port Royal, holding off a charging Zachary Miller6 in the closing laps. Brandon Barnhart spent most of the night up front—leading 27 laps and controlling much of the feature—but couldn't close it out when it mattered. Dudek's patience paid off as the track evolution worked in his favor down the stretch. Jac Young put on a clinic from the back, storming through the field from P16 to snag sixth and claim hard charger honors. That kind of drive from the tail is what keeps Port Royal soil flying all night long. Kenneth Boory and Brandon Barnhart each dominated their respective heats, while Patrick Cobb3 was sharp in the consolation, earning his spot in the feature and crossing the line fifth.
