by Ben Shelton
HEADINGLY, Manitoba, Canada (June 24) – Ricky Weiss enjoyed another solid weekend in his Derrick’s Sandblasting #7 Bloomquist Chassis/Pro Power Racing Engine Late Model, which included an inaugural win at Rapid Speedway.

On Wednesday night Ricky Weiss traveled to Fairmont Raceway (Fairmont, Minnesota) to take part in the OneMain WISSOTA Challenge Series. Competing against a field of fifteen Super Late Models, Weiss suffered a broken drive shaft on the last lap of his heat, giving him the last starting spot in the A-Main. Battling for the $2,000 payday, Ricky worked his way through the field to advance seven positons as he captured an 8th place finish. 

The next stop on the OneMain WISSOTA Challenge Series was Redwood Speedway (Redwood Falls, Minnesota) on Thursday night. With a stronger field of nineteen Super Late Models, Ricky Weiss earned a chance at the $2,000 A-main with a 9th place starting spot. Weiss worked his way through the field to gain five positions en route to a 4th place finish behind Don Shaw, Lance Matthees, and Donny Schatz with Jeff Provinzino rounding out the top five.

Continuing on the OneMain WISSOTA Challenge Series, Ricky made the trip to Rapid Speedway (Rock Rapids, Iowa) on Friday night. With a car count of twenty-three Super Late Models, Weiss captured three wins on the evening. After placing 1st in his heat and dash, Ricky Weiss went on to score the $2,000 payday, ousting Chad Becker, Brian Diede, Don Shaw, and Jeff Wildung in the feature event. The victory gave Ricky his eighth win on the 2015 season.
