MECHANICSVILLE,
MARYLAND (December 7, 2021) – The
2021 Ricks Jewelers Ring for the
Queen fight brought six drivers tied
at five diamond points each into the
final race of the 2021 season. Marc
Williams (Top ET), Brian McLaughlin
(Top ET), Buddy McGowan (Top ET),
Bobby Mattera (Mod ET), Alan
Thatcher (Mod ET), and James Getty
(Mod ET) would be making the chase
for one of the most unique prizes
for a track’s local ET Series. All
six drivers would be eliminated
early, and none would receive a
diamond point to break the multiway
tie. The Ricks Jewelers Ring for the
Queen would ultimately come down to
the tie breaker system. The first
tie breaker, most points races won
during the current season, would be
the deciding factor. Bobby Mattera
would be the only race winner after
winning the Pro Challenge/ IHRA
Sportsman Spectacular in the Mod ET
Category in August. Bobby Mattera is
the third Mattera to win the Ring
for the Queen joining brothers Tony
Mattera and John Mattera. |
