Thornton was followed across the line by Cole Czarneski, Kevin Roberts, Brendon LaBatte, and Levi Card.
In Modified action, a second-place finish in his heat race position Dylan eighth on the starting grid for the feature. He passed two cars to finish sixth.
The final round of the weekend found line-ups determined by driver's performances the previous two nights. Lining up sixth on the feature grid via the redraw, Dylan charged to the victory with Zane DeVilbiss, B.J. Wild, Kevin Roberts, and John Parmeley completing the Top-5 finishers.
In Modified action, Dylan started sixth in a B-Main, but mechanical issues relegated him to a 10th-place finish as his weekend drew to a close.
