Eric Riggins, Jr. picked up right where he left off in USCS Sprint Car Series action Friday night Senoia Raceway in Senoia, GA, going wire-to-wire to score his third-consecutive victory at the three-eighths mile clay oval.
After the original start was called back when Bob Auld sputtered to a stop in turn one, the remainder of the race was caution-free – allowing Riggins, of Charlotte, NC, to run away from the rest of the pack.
“We just had a great car tonight,” Riggins said after his 13th career series win and fifth of the season. “I’m glad we had that one back because on the first start I just started too deep and it was slow getting to the line. Luckily we were able to have a second shot at it and once we got out front we were good from there. Thanks to all the fans that come out to support what we do as well. Without you guys we couldn’t put on this kind of a show.”
Nick Snyder had actually cleared Riggins in turn three of the opening lap, but wasn’t able to keep the lead due to the caution and couldn’t replicate the feat on the ensuing restart. The Marco Island, FL driver ultimately finished second, chasing Riggins the entire way.
“Eric just outsmarted us on the restart there,” Snyder admitted. “I really hate that the caution came out because I think we had the fastest car of anyone all night and we could have made it a show. Once he had the clean air though, he just worked traffic a little better than we did. Second’s solid, but this one stings just a bit.”
Curt Terrell had a career night, finishing on the podium in third – saying that Senoia Raceway was “his new favorite track” after how well his car ran during the feature. Johnny Bridges followed him home in fourth and Andy McElhannon finished in fifth.
Shawn Dancer, Morgan Turpen, Danny Martin, Jr., Kyle Amerson and Terry Gray rounded out the top ten.
Bridges kicked off the evening’s racing action by winning the Hoosier Tire Speed Dash, and Snyder scored the win in the first heat. Riggins rolled to the victory in the second heat.
Riggins was also the provisional polesitter after scoring the most passing points in heat race action, and after a zero was rolled on the inversion, he officially received the K&N Filters Pole Award.
