Josh Richards won his second straight Rhino Ag Dirt Track World Championship on Sunday afternoon at Ohio’s Portsmouth Raceway Park.

Richards took the lead on lap 22 from Brian Shirley and led the rest of the way to pick-up the $100,000 first-place prize and his third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season.

Blairsville, Georgia’s Jonathan Davenport, the newly crowned Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion, finished in second followed by Brandon Overton in third, Brandon Sheppard in fourth and Zack Dohm in fifth.

“I knew it would be critical to get the lead early,” Richards said. “I knew I’d also spun my tires early on trying to get by Shirley. I wanted to get out front as early as I could because of the restarts. I didn’t know where Jonathan (Davenport) was. I wasn’t sure when to pick the throttle up. He gave me a lot of room. He and his team did a great job to win the championship. We did what we came here for, and we won the last race of the season. Thanks to Carl Short and everyone here at this facility for working so hard for this race.”

“I think the top three cars all ran different tire combinations,” Davenport said. “There were a couple of restarts where we got a run on Josh to challenge for the lead. I could have gone in there and door-slammed him, but I got a feeling we are going to be racing with each other for several years. All three of us had fast cars, but Josh was just more dominant today.”

Mike Marlar, Don O’Neal, Earl Pearson, Jr., Jimmy Owens and Chase Junghans rounded out the top ten.
