Jonathan Davenport in victory lane at Lernerville Speedway.

What won the race: Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga., led all 25 laps of Thursday's second semifeature at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., on opening night of the Firecracker 100 sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. Davenport's $5,000 payday came 1.482 seconds over 62-year-old veteran Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa.

Key notes: Six cautions slowed the semifeature: Lap one for Kyle Lukon; lap two for a five-car pileup in turn one for Dan Angelicchio, Chad Green, Bump Hedman, Zachary Kane and Logan Zarin; lap five for Lukon, whose car went up in flames rounding the backstretch; lap seven for Boom Briggs, who spun in turn two; lap 20 for second-running Gregg Satterlee; and lap 22 for Dennis Fenton. ... The field is split into two groups by pill draw on Thursday and Friday, featuring a complete show for each that culminates with twin 25-lap, $5,000-to-win semifeatures, nightly. The combined points from both prelim nights will set the lineup for Saturday’s heat races that precede consolations and the 100-lap, $50,000-to-win main event.

On the move: Tyler Wyant of Oil City, Pa., started 17th and finished seventh.

Winner's sponsors: Davenport’s Lance Landers Motorsports Longhorn Chassis carries sponsorship from Nutrien Ag Solutions, ASC Warranty, Dynagro Seed, Mark Martin Automotive, Mega Plumbing & HVAC, Lucas Oil, Hoosier Racing Tire, VP Racing Fuels, Bilstein and Midwest Sheet Metal.
