Richard Jarvis, Jr. was smooth and patient as he worked his way from his sixth starting spot to take the lead late in the 20-lap R.C. Holloway Super Late Model feature Saturday night at Delaware International.
Staci Warrington had the crowd cheering as she took command of the race from her pole starting spot. Rick Whaley was his usual hard charging self running in second with Derrike Hill third.
Donald Lingo, Jr. was the man on the move from seventh taking fourth from Kerry King on lap two and third from Ross Robinson on lap three. By the fourth lap Warrington had already caught the rear of the field and was being challenged by Whaley for the lead.
Jarvis was now picking his way through as he got by Robinson for fourth on lap eight. Whaley finally won out on the battle for the lead at the halfway sign with Warrington holding on to second. Lingo, Jr. ran in the third spot with Jarvis and Robinson rounding out the top five.
With the race going caution free the leaders were constantly in traffic and Whaley had enough of a lead to keep lapped cars between himself and Lingo, Jr. who had gotten by Warrington on lap 12. Jarvis worked by Warrington for third. The battle for the lead quickly became a tight three car fight.
Lingo, Jr. took his shot at leading with five to go as Jarvis battle by Whaley for second. Jarvis kept up his momentum and powered into the lead with just four laps left to go. Warrington continued to race hard with King and regained the fifth spot with one to go.
At the checkered it was a tight three car finish with Jarvis, in the Mid-Coastal Siding/Rocket adding to his season win total. Lingo, Jr. was just .9 seconds back to take second as he held off Robinson by half a car length. Fourth went to Whaley and Warrington rounded out the top five. Total time for the race was 6:45.0.
In victory lane Jarvis gave credit to fellow driver David Hill for helping him get there. “I want to thank David Hill for letting me borrow some suspension parts today so that we could run tonight.” Heats for the Super Late Models were won by Whaley and Ray Davis, Jr.
Nick Davis started on the point and set a fast pace at the start of the Crate Model 15-lap feature. Joe Warren chased in second with Mike Wilson running in third. Wilson got by Warren for second on lap four but Warren battled his way right back one lap later.
Ryan Walls moved into the third spot on lap four and continued into second one lap later. At the halfway the top five were Davis, Warren, Walls, Wilson and Tyler Reed.
Walls was able to get by Warren for second with five to go and set his sites on Davis. With three laps to go he was challenging the lead and Walls took the top spot at the two to go sign. The yellow as out for debris with one lap to go but Walls shook off his season long run of bad luck to hold off Davis in the one lap shoot out and post his first win in the division driving the R&J Poultry/L&L HVAC/Warrior. Walls also set fast time in qualifying.
