Lanigan, 37, blasted off the outside pole to lead the entire distance without receiving a single serious challenge. He pocketed $7,000 for his second victory in the last four WoO LMS events.
It was also Lanigan's third top-five finish in his last five tour starts - after he had not registered a top-five in the first 16 races of the 2007 season.
"We really haven't found anything special," said Lanigan, explaining his recent surge. "We're just doing the same basic stuff we did last year, and now we're getting some luck.
"It's a little frustrating that we didn't have a lot of good finishes to show for our efforts until the last week, but you just gotta keep on plugging. I know I should be able to run in the top five most nights with the equipment I have. I mean, we did it last year - we had more top-fives than anybody (in WoO LMS action)."
Rick Eckert of York, Pa., slipped by Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., for second place on lap 27 and stayed there to the finish. It was the third runner-up finish of the season for Eckert, who continues to search for his first tour triumph of 2007 after leading all drivers in victories last year.
Richards settled for third, followed by Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., in his Lester Buildings Rocket and WoO LMS points leader Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., in his J.P. Drilling GRT.
With the surface of the big half-mile oval becoming difficult to pass on come feature time, Lanigan knew getting the jump on the initial green flag would be critical. Starting from the outside pole alongside Richards, he vaulted ahead immediately and never looked back.
"The race was to turn one at the start," said the soft-spoken Lanigan. "Whoever got there first was probably going to win the race."
Once in command, the Bluegrass Bandit's Cornett-powered Lanigan Autosports/gottarace.com Rocket was never threatened. Just two caution flags - both on lap three - slowed his pace.
Lanigan spent most of the distance with a comfortable half-straightaway advantage on the second-place car, which belonged to Richards until Eckert grabbed the spot on lap 27. He pulled away from his rivals at will - much to the chagrin of his crew members, who were worried about tire wear.
"I was trying to slow him down, but he just kept going hard," said Lanigan's crew chief Randall Edwards, who gave hand signals to his driver from inside the track. "Off (turn) two, he was just killin' 'em."
The only time Lanigan backed off his pace even slightly was in the closing laps, when he saw lapped cars looming ahead.
"I was just pacing myself so I wouldn't catch those lapped cars," said Lanigan, who noted that he "probably could've raced only 10 more laps" on his Hoosier tires. "I didn't want to have to deal with them with the track locked down."
Lanigan was victorious behind the wheel of a car he and his crew call 'Cracky.' They recently found several cracks in the frame of the battle-tested 2005 Rocket and welded them up - a project that has seemingly reenergized the machine.
"We welded a few more cracks in it on Tuesday when we stopped back at the shop (after the five-race WoO LMS Midwest swing)," said Lanigan, who scored his eighth career WoO LMS triumph. "It seems like every time we weld it, it performs again."
Eckert, 42, made one of the rare passes after the original start among the top-10 cars when he overtook Richards for second.
"I saw that Josh's car wasn't that good," said Eckert. "He got to jumping his nose through a little chop (rough spot) in (turns) three and four, and he just missed it that lap (27) and I snuck underneath him."
But Eckert had nothing for Lanigan.
"He had the best car," Eckert said of Lanigan. "And even if I caught him, I couldn't have passed him."
Eckert, who lives about an hour-and-a-half from Port Royal but had raced a dirt Late Model at the track only twice previously (both wins nearly two decades ago), ran his backup car after his primary Raye Vest-owned MasterSbilt was sidelined by a broken rearend during hot laps.
The 19-year-old Richards conceded that his Mark Richards Racing/Seubert Calf Ranches Rocket wasn't quite good enough in his first-ever start at Port Royal.
"We were just a little too tight," said Richards. "I was just holding on at the end. I'm just glad to get a top-three finish out of it."
The race's two caution flags were both caused by significant accidents on lap three.
First, Scott Flickinger pounded the turn-one wall. His car had to be taken off the track dangling between two wreckers, but he escaped uninjured.
On the restart, Port Royal dirt Late Model standout Scott Haus of Hamburg, Pa., got turned around off turn two, setting off a wild chain-reaction pileup behind him. Seven drivers were eliminated as a result of damage sustained in the accident, including Haus, who was running sixth at the time, and WoO LMS Rookie of the Year contender Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., who used a provisional to start the A-Main after a slap of the wall during time trials set back his night.
Rounding out the top 10 was Shane Clanton of Locust Grove, Ga., who gave WoO LMS drivers a sweep of the top-six positions; Travis Dillman of Loystown, Pa., who who earned the $500 WoO LMS 'Bonus Bucks' cash for being the highest-finishing driver who's not ranked among the top 12 in tour points and has never won a WoO feature; Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky.; Ricky Elliott of Seaford, Del.; and D.J. Myers of Greencastle, Pa.
Forty-six cars entered Port Royal's first-ever WoO LMS show, which opened the five-race WoO LMS 'Great Northern Tour.' The event drew a crowd that locals called the best of the 2007 season at Port Royal, a fairgrounds track that runs 410 Sprint Cars and dirt Late Models on a weekly basis.
Clanton earned the $100 National Interstate Insurance Fast Time Award, turning the oval in 20.410 seconds.
Heat winners were Lanigan, Richards, Billy Decker of Unadilla, N.Y., and Clint Smith, and the B-Mains were captured by Jim Yoder of Selinsgrove, Pa., and Flickinger.
The WoO LMS 'Great Northern Tour' continues on Sat., June 23, with the series's first-ever Canadian show at Quebec's Autodrome Drummond; on Sun., June 24, at Cayuga County Fair Speedway in Weedsport, N.Y.; on Wed., June 27, at Stateline Speedway in Busti, N.Y.; and on June 29-30 for the $30,000-to-win 'Firecracker 100' at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa.

It was also Lanigan's third top-five finish in his last five tour starts - after he had not registered a top-five in the first 16 races of the 2007 season.
"We really haven't found anything special," said Lanigan, explaining his recent surge. "We're just doing the same basic stuff we did last year, and now we're getting some luck.
"It's a little frustrating that we didn't have a lot of good finishes to show for our efforts until the last week, but you just gotta keep on plugging. I know I should be able to run in the top five most nights with the equipment I have. I mean, we did it last year - we had more top-fives than anybody (in WoO LMS action)."
Rick Eckert of York, Pa., slipped by Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., for second place on lap 27 and stayed there to the finish. It was the third runner-up finish of the season for Eckert, who continues to search for his first tour triumph of 2007 after leading all drivers in victories last year.
