Allegany County Speedway

CUMBERLAND, Md. (Oct. 3) — Two-time race winner Ricky Elliott of Seaford, Del., sits in the driver's seat to claim his third Big Kahuna win following Friday's preliminary events at Allegany County Speedway. More than half the starting field was set Friday after qualifying and heat races for the Mid-Atlantic Championship Series season finale at the 5/8-mile oval known as The Rock.

While the $12,000-to-win event is using a single-feature format instead of the double-feature format of recent years, Elliott has claimed main event victories each of the past two years. He'll start on the pole position of Saturday's main event.

Fast qualifier Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., driving the Ernie Davis-owned No. 25, will start alongside Elliott in the front row. Sixteen drivers are locked in through the heat events Pennsylvania drivers Boom Briggs of Bear Lake, Davey Johnson of Latrobe, Matt Lux of Franklin and Rick Eckert of York winning heat races.

Notes: Sixth-fastest qualifier Jason Covert of York, Pa., holds a 155-point lead on Doug Horton of Bruceton Mills, W.Va., in gunning for his third consecutive MACS championship. ... Nick Dickson piloted Jack Pencil's backup car, duct-taping a No. 17 over the No. 14. ... In Friday's Limited Late Model action at Cumberland, track champ Matt Sponaugle of Wiley Ford, W.Va., picked up where he left off in the regular season by claiming a $1,000 victory in a 20-lap feature. Sponaugle took the lead from polesitter Jerry Bard and led the final 14 laps. Bard and D.J. Troutman chased Sponaugle to the checkered flag.
