For the River Valley 40 on Sunday at Port Royal Speedway (Port Royal, Pa.), Thornton Jr. was forced to take a provisional into the main event after missing a transfer spot in his heat race and B-Main. With $10,000 on the line, Ricky advanced from 26th to cross the line in 12th in his secondary car but was disqualified by officials for issues with his left-rear chain mount.

Ricky is currently seventh in the latest LOLMDS point standings.
