THOMPSON CLINCHES STATE CHAMPIONSHIP STARTING SPOT WITH WIN ON ELLIOTT FARMS NIGHT

 

Billy Thompson won the 20-lap RUSH Crate Late Model Delaware State Championship Qualifier, earning a guaranteed starting position for the Fall event.

It was three-wide at the drop of the green flag with Billy Thompson and Jimmy Jesmer assaulting pole sitter Joe Pete for the top position. Thompson won the battle but would find competition in hard-charging Matt Hill, Jesmer, and Brandon Sturgis.

Hill began exploring the top-side of the slick racing surface and could not make it work, dropping many positions in the closing laps of the event.

Veteran drivers, Joe Warren and Sparky White used experience to patiently navigate the bottom groove of the race track to enter the top five.

Billy Thompson would drive a flawless race to win the Elliott Farms night, with Jesmer, Sturgis, Warren, and White rounding out the top five. Noteworthy, Derek Magee just missed the top five, as he challenged Warren and White side by side in the closing laps.
