WOW...Are you kidding...
Ricky Elliott is your ONLY LOCAL DRIVER that qualified for the Alltel All Star Favorite Driver Contest and
you would not show your SUPPORT TO A LOCAL DRIVER???

Of the 15 drivers that qualified for the Alltel All Star Driver Contest,
Ricky is ranked Right in the Middle (7 of these drivers rank higher and 7 rank lower in WoO points).
*Ricky wouldn't have qualified if the rules stated that you had to enter every WoO race to receive votes.

OUR LOCAL DRIVER ranks 17th overall in 2008 WoO points with 2 Top 5 finishes and 5 Top 10 finishes.

Regardless of his WoO ranking...
RICKY ELLIOTT IS "OUR LOCAL DRIVER" and he deserves "OUR LOCAL SUPPORT"!

We don't get many opportunities to rally around our local drivers at the National level and this is our chance to show our support!
*I'm sure Ricky would agree with me...SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL DRIVERS ANY TIME YOU'RE GIVEN THE CHANCE!!!

[hummer19d]

I can not believe you of all the pit racers you are the only one I thought for sure that would support RICKY ELLIOTT. You really disappoint me. I thought you were a better person

[racefun]

WHAT hummer19d SAID..SUPPORT YOUR LOCALRACERS !!!

[debra]

;)Remember this is America.We all have the right to choose ,if we'll thought for what each person thinks what should be wrong or right,or to think somebody should be better than someone thinks.Well look at this this way we all get JUDGED in the END. FREEDOM IS WHAT ARE TROOPS ARE FIGHTING FOR.Good Luck Ricky Elliott. GO CATDADDY CLINT SMITH TEAM GRT!!!

[hummer19d]

Yes this is freedom of speech. That is why I said what I said Debra. And our troops are fighting for our life and our freedom NOT SPEECH>!!!I just expected loyalty for OUR LOCAL RACER.
I was asking for a vote!! not freedom of speech. You do not have too like or dislike too support a vote for someone who is local, rather you like him or not. HE IS A LOCAL GUY!!!!!!!!

[debra]

ONE WHAT IS LIFE ,FREEDOM WITHOUT SPEECH.COME ON GET REAL. VOTING FOR LOCALS WHAT ABOUT BOB GEIGER WHEN HE RACED IN FLORIDA.DID YOU EVEN SAY OR MENTION GOOD LUCK TO BOB GEIGER???

[hummer19d]

Like you said "FREEDOM OF SPEECH". I do not know Mr. Geiger I have never meet him

[debra]

Thank you !

Once again...Are you kidding?
Now you are not voting for Ricky Elliott in the All Star Farvorite Driver Contest (Which is NOT a popularity contest...he raced his way in and qualified by finishing 2nd in WoO SLM race at Sharon Ohio)
because he did not exercise his Freedom of Speech and specifically wish your husband, Bob Geiger, good luck in Florida?

So you want support from the LOCALS but you don't support the LOCALS yourself?
I'm pretty sure there is "A WORD" for actions like that!

[jhracing25]

I just want to ask how many top fives and top tens does the 38 have in The WoO Series? you gotta remember the only thing the 38 can win is heat races. For the love of god Ricky lives 14 miles from Delmar. GO RICKY Team Rocket.

[dirtz21]

there you go bashing a well respected driver- well since you started the bashing-*** since Elliott is this great driver you profess him to be-- i am sure the 38 fans are wondering how elliott went over cushion on last lap,last turn -when he had a comfortable lead 2 weeks ago, I guarantee a regular in world of outlaws would not have blown it on last lap-last turn. Look I think Elliott is great driver one of top three from Delaware no doubt, but there is no need to bash 38.

[mamakin764]

Actually thats how Bloomer won WOO @ delmar

[controlfreak]

Agreed - This is not a popularity contest!
It is true that Ricky Elliott earned his way into this contest, not by fan nominations.

At the higher levels we should all support our local racers and support each other. We should rally around any local racer, Ricky Elliott or otherwise.
It is understood at the local track - it is more of a popularity contest because every racer is local to that track week in and week out and they bring their fan base with them close to home.
This is a completely different circumstance and local support should be a given, not arguments and bashing!

I must say that although Ricky Elliott made a driver error at the memorial race, he is not the 1st racer to do this and will not be the last. Yes indeed - even the best drivers, regular WoO drivers, etc have had their racing pitfalls and some on the last lap! The correct way to gauge is a drivers overall statistics throughout their careers - Everybody has a bad day every now and then.

[debra]

i think you all are taking it the wrong way ricky is a rocket driver and clint smith is a grt driver when ricky goes away and does good that is great we live just a few miles from ricky and we have raced together for many yearsand at the track we would do anything to help each other but when it comes to the money side helping a rocket to learn more does not help grt now if a grt gets money and can learn more or something than being a grt guy you should help a grt guy so we can do better so we can run better and we get help from clint and other grt team mates jus t like ricky gets help from josh and steve

[debra]

ya we only won three heat races led the whole main only to push up a little in turn two and get beat with two laps to go by jarvis but we do this all on the money we make working a regular forty hour a week job no money help from anyone so we think that is not bad against the teams we race against that have the sponsors that ricky and jarvis and others have lucas oil in fla the past two years we ended up like fourty fifty in points out of ninty some and it kinda look like we had the smallest hauler of all ninty and we had a heck of a great time we set up larry moores car hauled it fixed it and won the world 100 three times and that was a heck of a great time too so come to the races and see us do not hide behind that computer

[debra]

:)OH Yeah Congrats to Ricky Elliott on his 7th place at Bedford.

[hummer19d]

WOO Late Models,Mac,Lucas Oil, all work together because they race together. Its not I will not help you because you drive a Rocket,Masterbuilt,GRT. This vote has nothing to do with what type of car you drive? And if you live that close to Ricky Elliott he would help you if you asked. He would not say NO YOU DRIVE A GRT so I can help you because that is like helping GRT. WHY DON"T YOU JUST VOTE FOR RICKY ELLIOTT and let this pass

[debra]

i guess you can read but you just do not understand did you ever play ball on a team or do anything as a team member i vote for clint smith because he is a team member and not ricky because he lives a few miles away if you are a dodger you do not vote for a yankee know can you get it if not come see us at dis tomorrow

[hummer19d]

This is not a race Chassic Contest!!! This is a race car driver contest.!!! That is like saying Obama is a team player because he is a Democrat so as a team player so I have to vote for him.Same princepal as Dodger verses Yankee

The only parts that are the same is the center part of rear,transmission,brakes that 95%figure you have is way off. you can not inter change spindles, strut arms,factory made bodys ,rear suspension ,steering box rack.so further more GO CLINT SMITH TEAM GRT!

[hummer19d]

After thinking about it I think Ricky would not want you to vote for him. You have show your true devotion and it is not to the local racer support. But to team GRT drivers only that wiil get your support But on the other hand YOU want local support, but do not want to give it back to our locals. OK

[debra]

One Thing you have to understand how what was wrote.I didn't ask for local support you did for R.E. .you go on & on .so i said did any body wish or vote for Bob Geiger when he raced in Florida,NO...Don't tell me about local support when Bob & I HELP Field 2 Crate CARS which last 2 yrs. in the TOP 10 in POINTS.Bob went to the Wheel 2 wheel Show talked of local and his start of racing.When Champion Street Modified Mark Williams car owner got out of racing we picked him up.And he finished in top 10 in SLM points at both tracks.tell me that's not LOCAL support.Which you probably will.GO CLINT SMITH GO TEAM GRT !!!

[chase22]

I THINK THE WHOLE THING IS KINDA BEING OVERBLOWN VOTE FOR LOCAL TALENT,DO NOT VOTE FOR LOCAL TALENT.IF YOU LOOK AT THE ROSTER THAT IS ELIGIBLE THERE ARE MORE NATIONAL KNOWN STARS THAN RICKY ON THE LIST,MOST LIKELY ONE OF THEM WILL WIN.AS FAR AS HAVING TO VOTE FOR HIM BECAUSE HE IS LOCAL,EVERY ONE HAS THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE FOR WHO THEY WANT.SOME PEOPLE LIKE THE COWBOYS,SOME LIKE THE REDSKINS,SOME LIKE THE EAGLES,IF WE ALL VOTED THE SAME IT WOULD BE KINDA BORING WOULD IT NOT.I THINK IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON TO OTHER THINGS.
