With 46 World of Outlaws Case Late Model Series entries on the grounds, Ricky missed a transfer spot in his heat by one car, relegating him into the B-Main. After grabbing the third-and-final position, Weiss clawed forward three spots in the 30-lap feature to finish 18th.
On Friday afternoon, Weiss followed up a sixth-place finish in his first heat with a third-to-first run in his second round. Earning a spot into the $3,000-to-win FANS Fund Dash, Ricky passed three cars in the 12-lapper to finish sixth.
With passing points from Friday’s heat races aligning Ricky 10th on the starting grid for the Saturday night’s $50,000-to-win USA 100, Weiss improved six positions in the 100-lap affair to register a fourth-place finish. He followed Jonathan Davenport, Chris Madden, and Tyler Erb across the line with Brandon Sheppard coming in fifth.
