Lee scores Limited Late Models win at Port Royal Speedway

Few sporting thrills can match that of winning a race at Port Royal Speedway.

And now, Mercersburg’s Kyle Lee can say he’s conquered The Speed Palace twice. In two different divisions.

Competing in the Limited Late Models program on Saturday for the second night of Port Royal’s Rumble by the River, Lee topped a loaded field of 30 cars to pick up his first victory in the division at the track. He previously earned a Super Late Model win at Port Royal in 2024.

Lee was sharp in the No. 15K from start to finish. He posted the ninth-fastest time in qualifying before going from second to first in his eight-lap heat race. Lee then started on the inside of the second row for the 25-lap feature, and seized the lead on the fourth lap. Lee never looked back and cruised to Victory Lane over Greencastle’s D.J. Myers, with Chambersburg’s Gunnar Walls landing in eighth.

It was the second runner-up finish in as many nights for Myers, who also took second on the first night of the Rumble by the River. Walls was just behind in third.

Lee wasn’t the only local winner from last weekend. Kameron Morral, of Hagerstown, showcased his talents at Path Valley Speedway. Driving in the 600 Sprints feature, Morral raced to victory over points contender Jim Young, with Waynesboro’s Darren Kauffman landing in fifth. Chambersburg’s Dylan Mickey (270 Sprints) and Mercersburg’s Devin Thomas (Thunder Cars) also competed at Path Valley, and both drivers recorded seventh-place finishes in their respective races.

At Winchester Speedway, Greencastle’s Logan Jones claimed second in the East Coast Legends feature, and was followed to the finish by Chambersburg’s Jayden Powell, who landed in eighth. The Limited Late Models race at Winchester saw two area drivers notch top 10 finishes: Hagerstown’s Wesley Bonebrake (4th) and Chambersburg’s Randy Burkholder (9th).

Franklin County was well-represented at BAPS Motor Speedway, which saw two area drivers post runner-up finishes. Fayetteville’s Cole Dewease took second in the 305 Sprints, while the Limited Late Models were highlighted by finishes from St. Thomas’ Michael Walls (2nd) and Dawson Walls (6th).

Finally, the Hagerstown Quarter Midget Association was racing last weekend, and Greencastle’s Jeremy Hood had a strong night. He finished second in both the Junior Honda and Junior 160 features and claimed third in the Junior Animal race. Hagerstown’s Taylor Staley finished third in the Heavy 160 feature and fifth in the Heavy Honda.
