Cleveland, Tennessee (04/14/15) – Riley Hickman Racing​ went into battle against a stellar field of competitors on Saturday night in his #R1 BIF Motorsports/Hickman Manufacturing Company/CVR Late Model at North Georgia Speedway, where he came with a $2,500 triumph with the United Crate Racing Alliance​ (UCRA).

Weekend action opened for Riley Hickman on Friday evening as he traveled to Smoky Mountain Speedway (Maryville, Tennessee) for an unsanctioned Crate Late Model event. The Mountain All Star Shootout posted a $3,000 top prize to competitors, and saw nineteen entries registering for action. Hickman posted the fastest lap overall in time trials to lock into the evening’s dash. A fifth place finish in the dash would earn Riley the fifth starting spot for the 60-lap main event. He went on to register a second place finish in the final rundown behind only race winner, Cory Hedgecock. Jason Welshan, Brett Wyatt, and Forrest Trent completed the top five finishers. Full results from the event are available at www.SmokyMountainSpeedway.com .

Action shifted to North Georgia Speedway (Chatsworth, Georgia) on Saturday evening as the newly-formed, United Crate Racing Alliance (UCRA) sanctioned a $2,500-to-win program. A talented field of fifty-four Crate Late Models registered for the event. Riley posted the second fastest lap in his group during time trials, earning him the fourth starting spot on the feature grid. Hickman quickly worked his way into the lead in the finale and went on to pick up the big win over Kasey Hall, Jake Teague, Tom Maddox, and Booger Brooks.

“That was a tough field of cars at North Georgia, so that win felt really good,” Hickman noted after claiming his third victory of the season. “We’ve flirted with victory lane with a handful of second place finishes over the past few weeks, and it was great to get over the hump into victory lane again.”

Complete results from the event can be found at www.UCRARacing.com .

The team will make the trek to Farmer City, Illinois this weekend to compete in the annual Douglas Dodge Ram Truck Illini 100 at Farmer City Raceway. The World of Outlaws Late Model Series (WoOLMS) event will be headlined by a $6,000-to-win event on Friday night and a $15,000-to-win race on Saturday evening.
