Port Royal Season Opener: Macri and Eckert Score Opening Night Victories
Anthony Macri and Rick Eckert claimed victories at Port Royal Speedway's season opener on March 22nd, despite a 45-minute weather delay. The event featured both sprint car and late model racing action.
In the Weikert's Livestock A-main event, Brock Zearfoss led the opening laps before facing challenges from Kelby Watt. Anthony Macri, who started seventh, methodically worked his way through the field. Following a red flag incident involving multiple cars, Macri seized the lead from Zearfoss with nine laps remaining. Despite a late caution that set up a green-white-checkered finish, Macri held on for the $6,000 victory. Zearfoss finished second, with Chase Dietz completing the podium.
