Ricky Weiss Conquers Challenge Cup XVIII
Sights Set on Dirt Late Model Dream XXIV
Headingly, Manitoba, Canada (06/04/18) – Ricky Weiss checked a first off his bucket list on Saturday night by piloting his Derrick’s Sandblasting #7w Sweet-Bloomquist Race Car/ Vic Hill Race Engine Late Model to the $10,000 victory in the Challenge Cup XVIII.
The coveted win marked his seventh triumph of the 2018 season.
“I’ve been wanting a Challenge Cup win for a while now, and man it feels good to finally get one,†an elated Weiss said. “We were really fast on Thursday night, but the pill draw got us. Saturday night went pretty flawless for us, and we were able to sweep the show to get the win. I feel like I let one slip away on Sunday night at Casino Speedway. We we’re leading, and I hit a hole, which sent me into an infield tire, knocking the nose off. It was a bad deal, but still a great weekend for our team.â€
On Thursday night Ricky Weiss returned to action with the WISSOTA Challenge Series as he took part in the the Iverson Late Model Challenge at Dakota State Fair Speedway (Huron, South Dakota).
Passing three cars in his heat race, Weiss landed a fourth-place finish, positioning him 13th on the starting grid for the opening night feature. Wheeling his way into a podium spot, Ricky improved 11 positions to finish second behind Don Shaw with Kent Arment, A.J. Diemel, and Jake Redetzke completing the Top-5 finishers.
After taking Friday night off, Weiss was one of 44 Super Late Models on hand at Dakota State Fair Speedway (Huron, South Dakota) on Saturday evening for the WISSOTA Challenge Series sanctioned Challenge Cup XVIII.
Following a 10-lap heat race win in his first heat, Ricky passed 10 cars in his second heat to pick up the victory. Earning the pole position, Ricky Weiss topped the 25-car field to pick up his seventh win of the season and a $10,000 payday.
Don Shaw, Pat Doar, Marshall Fegers, and Kent Arment completed the Top-5 finishers in the 40-lap affair.
On Sunday evening Ricky stopped at Casino Speedway (Watertown, South Dakota) for the WISSOTA Challenge Series sanctioned Marilyn Olson Memorial. In a field of 31 entries, Ricky started the night with a heat race win, positioning him on the pole for the feature. After jumping out to a comfortable lead, Weiss made contact with an infield tire barrier on lap 35, which dropped him back to a 15th-place outing.
