Ricky Weiss Visits Victory Lane at Knoxville Raceway
Three-Race WoO Weekend Up Next for Canadian Racer
Headingley, Manitoba, Canada (09/18/19) – Ricky Weiss achieved yet another career first over the weekend. The chauffeur of the Derrick’s Sandblasting No. 7 Kakela Farms/ J&C Properties/ Sweet-Bloomquist Race Car/ Vic Hill Race Engine Super Late Model streaked to his first-career victory at Knoxville Raceway on Friday night during a prelim for the 16th annual Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals.
“Man, what a dream come true to win at Knoxville. It’s pretty crazy to think that we’ve got our first wins at Knoxville and Eldora all in the same year,†Weiss reflected. “We were real good on both Thursday and Friday night. Then on Saturday night we had a great car for the first half of the event, but after that lap-50, fuel stop we just weren’t as good. We weren’t bad, but if you are going to win at Knoxville against that caliber of competition, you have to be spot on. We’ll take our eighth-place finish and head down the road to the Outlaws events.â€
On Thursday night Ricky Weiss trekked to Knoxville Raceway (Knoxville, Iowa) as the 16th annual Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals came to life. With 55 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) competitors on hand, Weiss locked his spot into the $7,000-to-win preliminary feature with a third-place finish in his heat race. Advancing two positions in the 25-lapper, Ricky notched a fourth-place finish behind Shane Clanton, Tyler Erb, and Darrell Lanigan with Ricky Thornton Jr. completing the Top 5.
Friday night presented the second round of preliminary action. Ricky laid down the ninth-fastest lap in his time trial group before capturing a 12-lap heat race victory. Starting on the pole for the feature, Weiss overtook Chris Madden for the lead on lap 16 as the duo battled through lapped traffic. From that point Ricky dominated the remaining distance en route to his sixth win of the season and a $7,000 payday. The win was his first-ever at the hallowed, ½-mile oval.
Madden, Josh Richards, Tyler Bruening, and Don O’Neal trailed him to the checkers in the 25-lap affair.
With preliminary finishes from Thursday and Friday’s programs determining the starting grid for Saturday night’s finale, Weiss locked into the third-starting position. With $40,000 on the line, Ricky Weiss battled for a Top-5 finish early in the 100-lapper but ultimately faded after the fuel stop on lap 50 to cross the finish line in the eighth position.
