Busy Weekend for Hickman Ends with Podium Finish

Riley Hickman pulled double duty over the weekend as he traveled to Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) for the 11th Annual Magnolia State Cotton Pickin' 100. Hickman competed in both the Super Late Model and NeSmith Crate Late Model divisions.
Seventy-two Super Late Models registered for competition at the 3/8 mile oval in the $20,000-to-win event, and via time trials on Friday night Riley started fourth in his heat race before fading to a fifth place finish. With only the top three finishers transferring to the feature he was relegated to the fourth starting spot in a b-main on Saturday evening. Unfortunately, Hickman failed to reach a transfer position to the 100 lap finale through the b-main, and his weekend would come to an early end.

The NeSmith Crate Late Model portion of the mega-event saw a field of fifty-two entries signed in to chase the $3,000 top prize. Via preliminary action on Friday night Hickman locked into the sixth starting spot for Saturday night's finale. Riley went on to register a third place finish in the main event behind race winner, Michael Arnold and Kyle Shaw. Completing the top five finishers were Daniel Bridgmon and Jeremy Shaw.
