SAS PR
EASTABOGA, AL (July 25) - The Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series returned Saturday night to the Talladega Short Track for the Michael Head Jr Memorial and it was a very popular win for the two time series champion Riley Hickman of Cleveland, TN., as Michael’s father Mike was inducted into the Southern All Star Hall of Fame in 2015, he and Riley discussed  about that he would love to win the race named after his late son, well Saturday night Hickman did what he said he would like to do and that is get the win and take home the $4,000 first place money.

25 cars checked in for the race and in White Performance/Schaeffer’s Oil by Ed Lowe qualifying Lucas Burns  and Jason Hiett set fast time in each of their groups giving them the front row for the 40 lap main, PPM Racing Products B Main winners went to Tim Roszell and Todd Morrow.

The start of the 40 lapper was one of the wildest starts to a race in  while at TST as Burns and Hiett lead the field into turn one Hickman dove under both drivers coming off turn two and took over the top spot to which he held for the 40 lap main.  Hiett got around Burns for the second spot and then ran Hickman down twice but just could not get around him.  Hickman would then have to hold off the field one more time with a lap eight restart.  On that restart Randy Weaver who worked his way to the front of the field from his 12th starting spot moved around Hiett to grab the second spot from Hiett at the end of the race.

Hickman drove a CVR Race Car with Vic Hill Engines under the hood, sponsored by Hickman Manufacturing/MRC Racing Components/American Billet/Tucker Mobile Home Service/VP Race Fuels/All Star Graphics/RH Designs to get his first win of the year with Randy Weaver giving the fans a show to take home the second spot, third to Hiett, fourth place to Tom Maddox of Centre, AL., and fifth to Eric Cooley of Fulton, MS.

Finishing in the sixth spot was Tim Busha, seventh went to Todd Morrow, eighth to Jake Knowles, ninth to Oliver Gentry and tenth to Jason Wilson.
