Riley Hickman Conquers the Hornet’s Nest; UCRA at Boyd’s Next

by Ben Shelton
CLEVELAND, Tennessee (July 8) – Riley Hickman was able to outrun Mother Nature and a strong field of foes to once again park the CVR House Car #1V Late Model in victory lane on Thursday night with the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series.

Competing in his CVR House Car #1V Crate Late Model, Riley Hickman made the trip on Thursday evening to Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Alabama) for another round of action in the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series. 

With forty entries on hand for the Salute to America Nationals event, Hickman laid down the fastest time in qualifying at the 1/3 mile oval, known as the “Hornet’s Nest.” Following the preliminary action, Riley went on to lead every lap of the 40-lap feature event grabbing a $2,000 payday. Riley ousted Ronnie Johnson, Cruz Skinner, Josh Adkins, and Eric Cooley to register his ninth victory of the season.

Unfortunately Mother Nature would wash away the scheduled NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series events at Penton Raceway (Penton, Alabama) and East Alabama Motor Speedway (Phenix City, Alabama) on Friday and Saturday evening.

“I again want to thank the folks at CVR Race Cars for letting me drive their hot rod,” said Hickman. “The car performance flawlessly and was just a blast to drive.”

Full results from this event are available at www.NeSmithRacing.com .

Hickman will next go into battle in the $2,500-to-win, United Crate Racing Alliance (UCRA) Late Model event on Friday, July 10th at Boyd’s Speedway.
