RICKY ELLIOTT MAKES IT "10" IN SUPER LATE MODELS
The 20-lap Super Late Model feature was a good one with the “Wild Child� Amanda Whaley setting a blistering pace from the drop of the green with Herb Tunis and Nick Davis giving chase. Donald Lingo, Jr. was the first car out as he slowed and headed to the pits on lap two. Point leader, Andrew Mullins quickly marched through the top five and was challenging for second by lap six. He would secure the spot on lap later and was followed by Ricky Elliott into third. At the halfway sign the top five were Whaley, Mullins, Elliott, Tunis and Davis.
The one and only caution of the event came on lap 12 when Staci Warrington tried to avoid another car and spun in the fourth turn. Whaley held off Mullins on the restart but when Mullins slipped high coming off the second turn, Elliott shot by for second.
Whaley would be the next to faulter slipping high and allowing both Elliott and Mullins to move by with just two laps to go. Elliott would drive to the win, his tenth of the season and his first since early July. Mullins finished in second with Whaley third. Fourth went to Tunis and Joe Warren rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Mullins and Lingo, Jr.
Super Late Model Finish: 1. Ricky Elliott; 2. Andrew Mullins; 3. Amanda Whaley; 4. Herb Tunis; 5. Joe Warren; 6. Lou Johnson; 7. Staci Warrington; 8. Bob Geiger; 9 Nick Davis; 10. Donald Lingo, Jr.; DNS: Brandon Dennis; Eddie Collins.
