Pulling double duty in the Super and Crate Late Model ranks, Riley Hickman traveled to Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Alabama) on Friday evening for the annual NASCAR Weekend.

Sending the Top-3 into the opening night feature, Riley landed a 2nd place finish behind Tyler Clem. Starting in 17th, Riley was credited with a 23rd place outing after retiring on lap 11.

In the Super Late Model division, Hickman posted a 3rd place finish in the feature behind Austin Horton and Cory Hedgecock with Donald McIntosh and Jason Hiett completing the Top-5 finishers.

On Saturday night for the $2,500 top prize, Hickman locked his spot into the finale with third fastest time in his qualifying group. Earning the 6th-starting position for the feature, Riley jumped up two spots in the 50-lap affair to place 4th behind Ronnie Johnson, Andy Picklesimer, and Michael Page with Heath Hindman coming in 5th.
