I'm interested to see Ricky Thornton Jr's debut in a 410 at Lernerville tonight. He's got a solid car and I always like seeing drivers cross over into other series/disciplines. Does he make the A? If he does, where do you think he'll finish?

Not sure if he will make the A-Main.  If he does, 20-24th.  Wishing him the best as I love to watch him run.  He is a gasser.

Depends on car count, but I'd wager against him making the A.

I'm sure RTJ has plenty of laps in a late model at Lernerville, but it seems like a semi-questionable place to make your 410 debut, especially against a National series. Place seems fast and tricky with no retaining walls, and it appears races quite aggressively - slide jobs seem to be the norm.

Heck no he doesnt make the main!! Sprint to LM goes a heck of a lot better than LM to sprint car. Ask Brandon Sheppard. At the bottom of the order all night. Bet.

He won a non wing race out west somewhere in 2017.

Great Late Model Driver, but too much talent scheduled to compete.  Let him get some experience.   Making the A main should not be at the top of his list for the weekend.  Experience is what should be the focus.  Getting as many laps as possible, bringing the car home in one piece, and staying clear of those at top speed should be the priority.
