What won the race: Kyle Lee of Mercersburg, Pa., won flag-to-flag in Friday's 21st annual Butch Renninger Memorial at Port Royal Speedway, collecting $7,333 in the 33-lapper for the richest payday of his career. Lee sped to the checkers by 1.198 seconds over sixth-starting Mason Zeigler to capture his third victory of the season and his first at Port Royal since a $3,000 payday Aug. 7, 2021.

Quotable: “We’ve been struggling here this year and the crew’s worked really, really hard. We figured some stuff out and got a little bit better and we were fortunate tonight to redraw the pole, that certainly helped,” Lee said. “I was struggling getting through lapped traffic, shows just how much air plays a factor, it totally changes the car. I looked up and I seen Zeigler was in second and just hoped all the lapped cars stayed straight and I could navigate through them enough to keep a little space between us and I guess I kept just enough room.”
