ALGER, WA (August 20, 2020) — It was a coming of age night on Thursday for 14 year old Colby Thornhill at Skagit Speedway as the Enumclaw, WA driver became the youngest driver in track history to win a 360 Sprint Car main event.
The Budweiser 360 Main Event was almost won by Mother Nature. Jeff Dunlap set out to the early lead and held a strong advantage before Eric Fisher and Tyler Thompson got together, bringing out the red flag on lap five. At the time, a light sprinkle turned heavier, forcing the cars off the track while officials made a plan for the weather. The rain lightened up, and cars came back to the track to roll the moisture back into the surface. About 15 minutes after the cars were sent off, the track was back in race shape and the main event continued. Dunlap resumed his march toward a potential first win, with Thornhill battling past Reece Goetz and into second place. As he came out of turn four to complete the 21st lap, Dunlap suddenly lost power and pulled into the infield, ending his run and giving the lead up to Colby. A short three laps later, Thornhill crossed under the checkered flag and made Skagit Speedway history, with Goetz taking second and Devon Borden advancing from 16th to 3rd.
