Ricky Weiss Rockets to $10,000 Victory in the WISSOTA 100
Headingley, Manitoba, Canada (09/17/18) – Ricky Weiss scratched yet another win off his bucket list over the weekend. The pilot of the Derrick’s Sandblasting #7w Sweet-Bloomquist Race Car/ Vic Hill Race Engine Late Model picked up $10,000 on Saturday night for his victory in the 33rd annual WISSOTA 100.
"The track prep this week, a lot of people were worried about it, but I think it was the best WISSOTA 100 we've been at yet," winner Ricky Weiss said. "The track held up, the fans are great, the facility's great, and I think we've got a pretty good future here.
“I can’t say enough about how hard my team is working. They are giving a great racecar each and every night. It’s really cool to win our first WISSOTA 100. This feels like a dream right now, and I just can’t until the next event.â€
On Wednesday night Ricky Weiss kicked off the WISSOTA 100 at I-94 Speedway (Fergus Falls, Minnesota), where he was pulling double duty in the Super Late Model and Open Wheel Modified ranks. In a field of 38 Super Late Models, Weiss gained four positions in his heat scoring a runner-up finish behind Shawn Kirwin. Earning the third-starting position for the preliminary feature, Ricky moved up one spot to place second behind Brian Diede with Dan Ebert, Don Shaw, and Marshall Fegers rounding out the Top-5.
Hopping behind the wheel of Cody Skytland-owned #711 Open Wheel Modified, Ricky came up one spot short of a transfer position into the opening night feature with a fifth-place finish in his heat.
The following night, Ricky locked his spot into the Super Late Model feature with an 8-lap heat race win. Starting on the pole, Weiss topped Jeff Wildung, Cole Schill, Mike Balcaen, and Shane Edginton at the line in the 15-lappper scoring his 20th win of the season.
In the Open Wheel Modified division, Weiss dropped one spot in his heat race, logging a third-place finish. Starting the feature in 23rd, Ricky passed eight cars to reel in a 15th-place finish.
On Friday night after dropping one spot in his heat race to place third, Ricky passed ten cars in the feature, registering a runner-up finish behind Don Shaw with Kyle Peterlin, Ryan Mikkelson, and Josh Skorczewski.
During the same night in his Modified, Ricky was an early retiree from his heat race that prevented him from transferring into the A-Main.
Wrapping up the WISSOTA 100 on Saturday, Ricky had already locked into the fifth-starting position based off his preliminary performances. Outrunning third-starting Jeff Wildung after a late-race restart, Ricky Weiss soared to his 21st win of the season in the 40-lapper. Wildung, Shane Edginton, Josh Skorczewski, and Kyle Peterlin completed the Top-5 finishers.
Ricky pocketed a $10,000 payday for his dominate performance.
Rolling off seventh in his Open Wheel Modified Last Chance Race, Ricky scored a sixth-place finish, positioning him 30th on the starting grid for the finale. With 30-laps to gain some ground, Ricky Weiss passed 12 cars to place 18th.
