Elliott Leading the Pack Early in the Season

ACTON (May 29, 2006) - 2005 Weekend Warrior Series Late Model Champion David Elliott isn’t resting on his laurels.

After capturing the inaugural WWS Late Model Championship, Elliott began 2006 with two goals – win another WWS title and capture the Late Model title at Lucas Oil Flamboro Speedway.

“We worked really hard preparing the car during the off-season,” said Elliott. “When we rolled off the trailer for opening night, the Lucas Oil Monte Carlo was fast.”

Unfortunately for the competition, the car has remained fast throughout the first month of the season.

Elliott has finished with one win, two seconds and one third in the first four feature races of the year. In addition, the #37 has recorded five heat wins. Consistent top-three finishes have vaulted Elliott to early season leads in both the WWS and Flamboro Speedway’s Grisdale Late Model point standings.

“Last year we struggled with engine problems by mid-season, fell behind in the Flamboro points and could only climb back to 3rd by the end of the year,” said Elliott. “We definitely want to improve on last season’s results.”

If the Lucas Oil-sponsored team continues at its early-season pace, the rest of the drivers will have their work cut out for them if they plan to wrestle either Late Model title from Elliott by the end of the 2006 campaign.
