Thornton tames Malvern Bank East Series foes at Stuart Speedway
A pair of Malvern Bank East Series events brought Dylan Thornton and the Kay Motorsports team to Stuart Speedway (Stuart, Iowa) on Friday to kick off the two-day weekend with the Blackberry Brandy Brawl.
With a third-to-first run in his heat race positioning him on the third row for the A-Main, Thornton grabbed the lead on lap 17 and paced the final nine circuits to secure his first career Malvern Bank Series triumph and his sixth overall victory of the 2024 season. He earned a $3,000 payday ahead of Blair Nothdurft, Tad Pospisil, Jason Hahne, and Chad Holladay.
For the Tribute to Legends on Saturday at Independence Motor Speedway (Independence, Iowa), Thornton stormed into the weekend finale with a fifth-to-first showing in his heat. With another $3,000 payday up for grabs, Dylan recorded a 17th-place finish after getting turned around on lap 21 while battling for seventh.
