The Port also completed the rained-out feature from a week earlier. Four-time defending track champion Logan Wagner took the win in a race that was picked up from the eighth of 25 laps. Prior to the rain the week before, Macri had been involved in an accident and he was credited with last place in that event.

Saturday at Port Royal, Macri got the best of Dewease in the late going to win Saturday’s All Star-sanctioned first night of the Weikert Memorial. Macri’s win was worth $10,000.

Macri passed Dewease for the lead on the 29th of 30 laps and then held off Dewease over the final two circuits for the win. Dietrich, who led the first 24 laps, finished third, with Marks and Peck in the top five. Completing the top 10 were Wolfe, Cisney, Wagner, Whittall and Zeb Wise.

Garrett Bard won the 305 sprint feature over Kruz Kepner, Kenny Heffner, Mike Alleman and Doug Dodson.
