Another Week, Another Win for Ricky Weiss; Triple Header Nextby Ben Shelton
HEADINGLY, Manitoba, Canada (May 28) –Ricky Weiss carried his recent momentum into a doubleheader Memorial Day weekend special at Viking Speedway (Alexandria, Minnesota) with the Northern Late Model Racing Association (NLRA), and came away with his second victory of the 2014 season in his #7 Derrick's Sandblasting/Bloomquist/ Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model.
Action opened on Saturday for the NLRA Late Models with twenty-six entries in the pit area. Weiss charged from fourth to the win in his heat race, earning him the pole position for the feature with Pat Doar alongside. When the feature went green Weiss took to the lead and never looked back to score the victory over Jeff Wildung, Brad Seng, Dustin Strand, and Mike Balcaen.
Sunday evening at Viking Speedway saw Ricky finishing third in preliminary heat race action among the twenty-five competitors on hand to lock into the ninth starting spot on the grid for the feature. Despite starting near mid-pack he had hopes of claiming his second win of the weekend. During the course of the main event Weiss advance seven positions, but would be unable to sweep the weekend as he crossed the finish line in the second position behind race winner, Brad Seng. Donny Schatz, Eric Breeschoten, and Pat Doar rounded out the top five finishers.
"It was another great weekend for us," commented Weiss. "I really wanted that win on Sunday night to complete the sweep, but Brad (Seng) was just a little too tough. I'll definitely take a second though and move onto the next one!"
