PORT ROYAL, PA (September 7, 2026) — Ryan Smith rallied from losing the lead to taking over the top position with five laps to go to win the 75th edition of the Labor Day Classic Monday afternoon at Port Royal Speedway.
Smith started on the pole position and led the first nine laps before Justin Whittall motored around on the outside of the track to take the lead. Whittall maintained the lead until with five laps to go he went to the top side of the race track as the bottom of turns one and two were taking rubber, allowing Smith to garner enough momentum to take the lead into turn three.
From there Smith drove away for the victory over Whittall, James McFadden in his first start driving for Macri Motorsports filling in for their injured driver Anthony Macri, Danny Dietrich, and Mark Smith.
