Riley Hickman Takes UCRA Deep Fried Cash; Talladega Next

by Ben Shelton
CLEVELAND, Tennessee (October 20) – Riley Hickman piloted the CVR Race Car #1v Austin Trucking Crate Late Model to the $2,500 victory on Saturday evening during the United Crate Racing Association (UCRA) Late Model portion of the 4th Annual Deep Fried 75.

On Friday night Riley Hickman visited Duck River Raceway Park (Wheel, Tennessee), pulling double duty in both the Super Late Model and Crate Late Model divisions. Drawing a field of thirty-four Super Late Models for the two-day Deep Fried 75, Hickman scored a 3rd place heat finish transferring him into the main event on Saturday night. With $12,000 on the line in the 75-lap affair, Riley logged a solid 8th place finish.

Competing against a field of thirty-four Crate Late Models for the United Crate Racing Alliance (UCRA) sanctioned event, Hickman logged the fastest time in qualifying, which positioned him on the pole of a heat race. Following a heat race win, Riley Hickman went on to score his seventeenth overall win of the season with Jake Teague, Justin Teague, Anthony White, and Ethan Hunter rounding out the top five in the 40-lapper.

“It was a cold weekend, but it was a great weekend,” laughed Hickman. “The Crate Late Model was great from the time that we unloaded it, and the Super Late Model wasn’t bad either, but we just couldn’t quite get to the front in it. I want to thank my crew, sponsors, and fans for their great support.”

Next on tap for Hickman is a trip south to the Hornet’s Nest this weekend, October 23rd-24th, for the annual NASCAR weekend at Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Alabama). Action opens on Friday evening with an unsanctioned $2,000-to-win program, while Saturday’s festivities are headlined by a $4,000-to-win, Southern All Star (SAS) Super Late Model event.
