On Friday at Volunteer Speedway’s Rocky Top Rumble, Thornton posted the fastest time in his qualifying group and went on to win his heat before finishing second in the 40-lap feature.
At Smoky Mountain Speedway on Saturday, Thornton again captured a heat race victory and closed out the weekend with a third-place finish in the $20,000-to-win Tennessee Tipoff, joining race-winner Bobby Pierce and runner-up Nick Hoffman on the podium.
