Racing was intense Saturday at Portsmouth Raceway Park on "Smoke Out Pizza & BBQ" Jackie Boggs Night for The Kids Presented by 4B Motorsports, as fans were witness to a last-lap pass in the Late Model Feature and a first-time winner in the Limited Lates.

Rod Conley got past brother RJ on the final circuit to claim his first PRP Late Model A-Main victory of the season. The night had duel Modified Features with Brian Skaggs winning the first and Jeremy Rayburn the second. The evening also presented a pair of Limited Late Model A-Mains won by Evyian Terry and first-time-ever winner Jesse Lyons Jr. Derek Richmond took the checkers in the Sport Mods.

On a night when children 12 and under received free general admission and many bicycles and other door prizes were given away to the 12-and-under crowd, the action on the track was as fierce as ever.

After a little bit of hot lapping, the evening got underway with a Modified and Limited Late Model Feature that had gotten rained out on July 1st. The 20-lap Modified A-Main was dominated by Pedro's Brian Skaggs. He led every lap from start to finish. Ben Adkins, Jeremy Rayburn, Anthony Slusher, and Brandon Medinger rounded out the top 5.

The first Limited Late Model A-Main was a thriller as Catlettsburg, KY's Evyian Terry logged his first feature win of the season fending off strong challenges throughout the race from several different drivers. Robbie Lewis, Jesse Lyons Jr, Garret McCloud, and Kevin Terry rounded out the top 5.

The Late Model A-Main was virtually dominated by RJ Conley, who led the first 24 laps of the 25-lap event. Conley built a sizeable lead, but brother Rod started reeling him in with about six to go. On the last lap going into turn one, RJ went low with a lapped car in front of him and Rod went high managing to pass both RJ and the lapped car of Chuck Simons.

The track had a cushion all evening and the fastest way around appeared to be up top. Rod Conley, who is known for liking to run the bottom, said in victory lane after the race that when barreling into the first turn on the final lap, "I just held it to the floor!"

RJ Conley, Brandon Fouts, Nick Bocook, and Charlie Jude completed the top 5. RJ Conley was the night's fast qualifier.

The second Modified Feature of the evening appeared to be on its way to going the exact same way the first one did. Skaggs led the first 13 laps before Jeremy Rayburn went by him on the high side. Like Rod Conley, Rayburn typically likes running low, but the two-time PRP Champion made it work up top. Three laps later, Skaggs had to pull off with damage to his right front suspension. For the second time of the night in a Modified A-Main, Ben Adkins would finish as runner-up. Brandon Smith, Anthony Slusher, and Adam Colley completed the top 5. Logan Burke was The Dynamic Shock Service Modified Fast Qualifier.

In his 11th year of racing at PRP, Franklin Furnace's Jesse Lyons Jr got his first A-Main victory in the second O'Reilly Auto Parts Limited Late Model A-Main. Lyons drove a great race keeping his car at the front of the field the entire 15 laps. Garret McCloud, Robbie Lewis, Evyian Terry, and Kevin Terry rounded out the top 5.

In the Sport Mod Feature, Stout's Derek Richmond was dominant. He led every single circuit en rout to his second PRP win of the season. Joe McClain, Stevie Thornsberry, Landon Barker, and Jeromy Brady made up the top 5.

Portsmouth Raceway Park will be back in action this coming Saturday, July 23rd. "DESCO Federal Credit Union" will present The Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association 410 Winged Sprint Cars, The Giovanni's Wholesale Pizza Late Models presented by Impact Race Gear, The Local Happenings App Modifieds, and The Express Oil & Tire Engineers Sport Mods. Gates will open at 4 p.m. with racing at approximately 7:30.
