THE HUSTLER R1LEY HICKMAN PICKS UP CLEVELAND VICTORY ON DOSS NIGHT
Cleveland, TN (8/27/11) --- Saturday at Cleveland Speedway was Doss Family Tribute night in honor of 57-years of the family's racing heritage in the community race track. As the Late Model field took center-stage Bobby and David Doss and their racecars were brought to the forefront and there the family was awarded a plaque, of which they humbly thanked the fans and pledged a future of Doss racers. Sixteen LM's signed in as the fast qualifier John Owenby (sporting new colors & good ol' #33) and heat race # 2 winner Riley Hickman (# R1) of Ooltewah, TN took-off for the 30-lap "A" Main feature. The #R1 "Hickman Manufacturing, American Billet, Austin Trucking, Bodies by Hixson, RH Designs, Mayo Racing Components, AllStar Graphix, Hoosier Tire" sponsored, Racetek powered MasterSbilt racer stomped into the lead from the Cat-Birds Seat, with Owenby in-tow. Battle waged for third as rookie Tanner Works had his hands full in third with Rick Hixson and Jason Welshan. David Doss would rear a mid-race caution when he had a solo spin in turn-2. Hickman would keep distance on Owenby in the early stages, but later would find the former track champion on his spoiler. Late in the going, Works would finally heed Hixson's pressure and would eventually fall out of the Top-5 as the checkers waved. Behind Hickman and Owenby were Hixson, Welshan and Bobby Mayse. After posing for winners pix in KC GRAPHICS VICTORY LANE, Hickman had to tear-down, to show validity to his victory.
