ELLIOTT WINS SUPER LATES & SHOOT-OUT
The 20-lap S.R. Pete & Son Super Late Model Feature was a good one. Joe Warren would lead the first lap as the field went three wide in the battle for second with Andrew Mullins taking the spot followed by Herb Tunis and Staci Warrington. On lap five Warren began to slow and Mullins shot by into the lead. Ricky Elliott was on the move from ninth and already up to the fourth spot that had been occupied by Amanda Whaley.
Elliott got by Tunis for third at the halfway sign and began to reel in the leader Mullins. Elliott was the only car using the high groove and coming off the second turn on lap 12 he went around the outside of Mullins to take the lead. His advantage would be erased with just two laps to go as Donald Lingo, Jr. came to a stop in the third turn.
Elliott had no problem pulling away on the restart and he drove to his second consecutive win of the season. “The car was pretty good last week but I just couldn’t charge the corner,� said Elliott. “We made a couple of adjustments over the last two weeks with the rainout and I’m telling you, we made all the right adjustments.� Mullins stayed close to finish in the second spot with Tunis third. Rookie Dylan Evans scored another top five in fourth and Whaley rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Mullins and Warren.
In the five lap Shoot-Out between the winner of the NAPA Big Block Modified feature and the S.R. Pete and Son Super Late Model feature Brad Trice proved to be no match on that night for Elliott who led the entire distance for the win.
S.R. Pete & Son Super Late Model Finish: 1. Ricky Elliott; 2. Andrew Mullins; 3. Herb Tunis; 4. Dylan Evans; 5. Amanda Whaley; 6. Nick Davis; 7. Austin Hubbard; 8. Staci Warrington; 9. Brandon Dennis; 10. Kerry King Jr; 11. Kellie Lewis; 12. Donald Lingo Jr; 13. Bob Geiger; 14. Joe Warren.
