Big Weekend at Dakota State Fair Speedway on Tap
Headingly, Manitoba, Canada (05/30/18) – Over the course of the Memorial Day weekend Ricky Weiss bagged a pair of wins in his Derrick’s Sandblasting #7w Sweet-Bloomquist Race Car Late Model.
On Thursday evening he scored a Weekly Racing Series Event triumph at Manitoba’s Red River Co-Op Speedway, while Saturday evening found him in Victory Lane at Minnesota’s Viking Speedway with the WISSOTA Challenge Late Model Series.
“We had a really good weekend with two wins, and we were in contention for two more,†Weiss said. “Our team really likes our chances heading into this weekend at Huron. The competition is going to be really tough there, but I feel like we have as good a chance as anybody to pick up some big wins.â€
Ricky Weiss kicked off the Memorial Day Weekend at Red River Co-op Speedway (Winnipeg, Manitoba) on Thursday night with the track’s season opener. Gaining one spot in his heat race, Weiss streaked to an 8-lap heat race win, locking him into the pole position for the feature. Taking control of the lead early in the feature, Ricky Weiss cruised to his fifth win of the season in the 20-lapper, topping Mike Martin, Paul Veert, Rick Fawcett, and Walt Morris at the line.
On Friday night at I-94 Speedway (Fergus Falls, Minnesota) – for the Wollak Construction WISSOTA Challenge Series sanctioned program – Weiss jumped three spots in his 12-lap heat to place fifth.
Earning the 11th-starting position for the $2,000-to-win A-Main, Ricky improved eight spots, reeling in a third-place finish behind John Kaanta and Darrell Nelson with Pat Doar and Don Shaw rounding out the Top-5.
The following night Ricky followed the WISSOTA Challenge Series to Viking Speedway (Alexandria, Minnesota) for the opening round of the two-day special. Passing three cars in his heat, Weiss charged to a heat race win, positioning him seventh on the starting grid for the feature.
Outrunning second-starting Marshall Fegers, Ricky Weiss topped the 25-car field in the A-Main to capture his sixth win of the season and a $2,000 payday. Fegers, Ryan Mikkelson, Darrell Nelson, and Pat Doar completed the Top-5 finishers in the 30-lap affair.
Wrapping up the Memorial Day Weekend on Sunday, Weiss held his spot in his 12-lap heat race, registering a runner-up finish behind James Giossi.
