CUMBERLAND, Md. – Ricky Elliott of Seaford, Del., earned $2,000 for his first victory on the UFO Race Championship tour Friday night in Allegany County Speedway’s Waikki Wave 31, a tuneup event for Saturday night’s $5,000-to-win Big Kahuna XII at the 5/8-mile racetrack.

The fourth-starting Elliott picked up two positions on the race’s opening lap and after a caution with four laps completed, overtook polesitter Dylan Yoder of Selinsgrove, Pa., to move to the lead on lap five. | Slideshow
