“Want to give a shout out to one of my hero’s I grew up watching on YouTube an in the streets on his first NPK win tonight,” Lil’ Legend Bobby Ducote said in a Facebook post. “Congrats Murder Nova you (and) your team did the dam thing (Saturday) even (though) we race together, I’m still a fan 💪🏼”
Both drivers debuted new cars one week ago at the season-opening at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, Pennsylvania. Ellington went from a blacked-out car to a new white car.
Instead of changing its name, the new white car that’s sponsored by Ram Jack will keep the Murder Nova name, according to a social media post.

Ellington snapped Kye Kelley’s win streak at Virginia. Kelley had won the three previous events in the state.
“Huge congrats to our good friend Shawn!,” Boosted GT Chris Hamilton said in a Facebook post. “He finally got him one. Love ya buddy and super happy for ya!”
