Delbert Smith takes the checkers at Salina Speedway.
What won the race: Polesitter Delbert Smith of Wichita, Kan., raced to a $750 National Championship Racing Association victory at Salina Speedway on Saturday in the series opener. Claiming his 21st series win, Smith finished 0.515 seconds ahead of Dusty Leonard.
Key notes: In a delayed opening of its season, NCRA ran Crate Racin’ USA-sanctioned Crate Late Models. … With just a handful of races in the virus-shortened season, NCRA announced it will not award championship points in 2020. ... Salina last season halted its regular Crate Late Model division; this marks the season's only appearance for the full-fendered cars. … NCRA planned giveaways of tickets for the Hutchinson Nationals. … Four other divisions were in action.
On the move: Tail-starting Don Foster of Wichita, Kan., finished fifth.
Winner's sponsors: Smith drives a Black Diamond Chassis sponsored by Sunoco, T. Moore Farms, Friesen Performance, Salina Engine Supply, Wolf-Pack Consulting and BSB Mfg.
Points chase: NCRA isn't awarding 2020 points.
