(HARRISBURG, ILLINOIS) Randy Korte and the Riggs Motorsports team notched their seventh feature win of the 2013 racing season on Friday night, August 30 at the Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Illinois! Randy ran second in heat race action and later finished second in the dash to earn the outside front row starting spot for the weekly UMP DIRTcar Series feature event. The Highland, Illinois ace then came out on top of the A-Main to score the $1,200 victory over Michael Kloos, Billy Laycock, Jason McBride, and Brian Diveley. Saturday’s show at the Federated Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, Missouri was then won by Mother Nature. Full results from Granite City can be viewed online at www.tricityspeedway.net.
