Riley Hickman Races to Fourth Win of ’15; Smoky Mountain Next

by Ben Shelton
CLEVELAND, Tennessee (April 21) – Riley Hickman pulled double duty on Saturday night at Volunteer Speedway (Bulls Gap, Tennessee), where he came away with his fourth triumph in 2015 in his BIF Motorsports #R1 Hickman Manufacturing Company/CVR entry.

Hickman rolled to his fourth victory of the season in the Limited Late Model division, earning $2,000 for his efforts. Riley locked into the 40-lap main event after posting the eighth fastest lap in time trials. In the main event he took the lead from race-long pacesetter, Cory Hedgecock on the 28th circuit and never looked back. He took the checkered flag ahead of Hedgecock, Jason Trammell, Stanley Donahoo, and Trevor Sise.

The Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series sanctioned the annual Spring Thaw, which boosted a $6,000 winner's check. With the top ten qualifiers once again locking into the main event, Hickman fell just short of the mark and had to run a b-main. He went on to win his b-main, earning him the eleventh starting position on the feature grid. Riley ultimately retired early from the 50-lap finale to a disappointing 22nd place finish.

Full results from the event are available at www.VolunteerSpeedway.com and www.CarolinaClash.com .

The upcoming weekend, April 24th-25th, will take the team to Smoky Mountain Speedway (Maryville, Tennessee) for a pair of big events. On Friday night the Southern All Star (SAS) Super Late Model tour will sanction a $5,000-to-win event, while Ray Cook’s Spring Nationals will contest a $6,000-to-win program on Saturday evening.
