For the first time, he parked his self-built Drydene Performance Products No. 7 J&C Properties / G-Style Transport/ Sniper Chassis / Vic Hill Racing Engine Super Late Model in victory lane.

The win was one that the Canadian driver will not soon forget.

The experience of building our own chassis has been humbling to say the least, but last night all of our long nights and hard work paid off!” Weiss shared less than 24 hours after his first victory since May 2020. “I’m hoping we can carry this momentum onto Bristol Motor Speedway the next two weeks for the Bristol Dirt Nationals.

“So many great folks have supported me through the thick and thin of developing this new car, and I thank them all from the bottom of my heart. I truly believe we are onto something big here, and hopefully this is the first of many wins to come this year.”

On Saturday evening, Ricky Weiss visited Boyd’s Speedway (Ringgold, Ga.), where he entered his Derrick’s Sandblasting No. 7 Turk Enterprises Sniper Chassis Super Late Model into battle for the Ultimate Southeast Series-sanctioned Shamrock.

With his 14.927-second lap in time trials placing him on the front row for the feature, Weiss outran polesitter Payton Freeman in the 40-lapper to capture his first win of the season and a $5,000 payday. He finished 0.888 seconds ahead of Freeman, with Jimmy Owens, Cory Hedgecock, and Cameron Weaver rounding out the Top-5.
