Ricky Elliott may spend most of his time on the road racing up and down the East Coast in the Super Late Model division but he still enjoys racing at his home track at Delaware International on Saturday nights. After about a month’s absence, Elliott returned “home” on Saturday night and walked away the $1250 25-lap Super Late Model feature.
Rookie Staci Warrington continues to impress as she took control of the feature at the drop of the green. Defending point champion, Donald Lingo, Jr. was running hard in the second spot with Elliott catapulting from eight to third on lap one. A hard tangle between Rick Whaley and Norman Short brought out the yellow on lap five with both cars taken to the pits on the wrecker.
The restart produced a three car battle for the lead between Warrington, Lingo, Jr. and Elliott. Elliott took second on lap seven and one lap later powered by Warrington off turn two for the lead.
Jon Callaway was on the move coming from his 11th starting spot to take third just before the halfway sign. Callaway grabbed second from Warrington at the crossed flags with Lingo, Jr. holding on to fourth and Kerry King running in the fifth spot.
King’s drive ended with a flat tire on lap 22 and erased a big lead that Elliott had developed. On the restart, Elliott bolted away from the rest of the field and drove to his fourth win in the Charles Jarvis/Seaside Builders/Rocket. Rookie Jon Callaway stayed in the point chase with a strong second and Warrington turned in another stellar performance in third. Lingo, Jr. finished in fourth. Point leader, Ray Davis, Jr. crossed the finish in fifth but had a tire fail post race inspection and was disqualified. Fifth was credited to Richard Jarvis, Jr. Heats were won by Warrington and Elliott.

THIS IS ONE FUNNY DEAL, What happens here is Charlie floods the track with 2 trailer loads of water, then they bring out the cars with almost bald tires and run them for 5 laps . No red flags unless a car is on its top or side, no cautions, outside of that, go boys & girls.
Twenty-three cars took the green for the Slide for 5 finale. Dylan Betts built up a strong head of steam on the first lap and drove to his second consecutive win. Wayne White, Jr. came from the back row to finish in second with Tyler White third, Shane Phillips fourth and Greg Nailor, Jr. fifth.
