Ricky Elliott began racing karts at an early age, winning 135 World Karting Association events, including both Maryland and Delaware state championships and the national Horstman Gold Cup. He then began racing modifieds and in 1987 claimed his first feature win at the Delaware International Speedway (DIS).[3]
Elliott won often in his home state, including the state fairgrounds, and claimed back to back track championships at both DIS and Georgetown Speedway in 1990 and 1991.[4] He also competed regularly at New Jersey's East Windsor and Bridgeport Speedways, and found success at major events held at North Carolina's Charlotte Motor Speedway dirt track and the Syracuse Mile in New York.[3] [5] [6]
In 2005 Elliott then turned his attention to the Late Model race cars, winning at many of the same tracks he conquered with his modified.[2] [4] He also claimed victories at Allegany County Speedway and Potomac Speedway in Maryland, New Egypt Speedway in New Jersey, Halifax County Motor Speedway in North Carolina, and a World of Outlaws win at Brewerton Speedway in New York.[7] [8] Elliott capped off his career by retiring after winning the 2018 DIS track championship.[2]
