Ricky Weiss Takes Two Weekend Wins; Triple Header Weekend on Tap

by Ben Shelton
HEADINGLY, Manitoba, Canada (June 18) – Ricky Weiss enjoyed another great weekend in his #7 Derrick's Sandblasting/Bloomquist/ Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model, which saw him push his 2014 win tally to five.

Ricky Weiss returned to Red River Co-Op Speedway (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) on Thursday evening and parked his entry in victory lane for the second straight week. A modest eleven entries registered for the Weekly Racing Series program at the 4/10 mile oval. Ricky started his outing by charging from fifth to finish second in heat race action, locking him into the sixth starting spot for the finale. In the main event Weiss took control from Mike Balcaen on lap three. With laps winding down, Weiss began to show smoke out the back of his entry. He slowed up a little, allowing second running Balcaen to close the gap. The duo battled hard in the three remaining laps, swapping the lead multiple times. In the end despite his mechanical issues, Weiss was able to hold off the veteran and win his second straight feature at the oval. Steffen Snare, Mike Martin, and Shane Edginton rounded out the top five finishers. Full results from the event are available at www.VictoryLane.Mb.Ca .

Friday night saw action shifting to a I-94 Speedway (Fergus Falls, Minnesota) for a WISSOTA Weekly Racing Series program, and once again Weiss did not disappoint. With fourteen competitors registered for battle, Ricky finished third in his heat race to earn the pole position for the main event. In the feature he went on to claim the dominating victory over Don Shaw, Tom Thompson, Eric Breeschoten, and Kevin Robertson. Complete results are available at www.I94Speedways.com .

The upcoming weekend, June 19th-21st, holds a tri-fecta of action for the Canadian pilot.  He will once again open his weekend on Thursday night at Red River Co-Op Speedway (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) with a Weekly Racing Series Event.  Friday night will take the team to River Cities Speedway (Grand Forks, North Dakota) for an NLRA Late Model Series Event.  The weekend draws to a close on Saturday evening at Hibbing Raceway (Hibbing, Minnesota), where another NLRA Late Model Series event will be contested.  For more information on the events please visit www.victorylane.mb.ca/, www.RiverCitiesSpeedway.com, and www.HibbingRaceway.com .
