It was back to business with the Southern All Star (SAS) Racing Series Super Late Models on Saturday night at Smoky Mountain Speedway (Maryville, Tennessee). The $5,000-to-win, King of the Mountain Fall Classic drew a field of twenty-seven entries to the oval, as Riley piloted the #1G Warrior House Car for the second time this season. With the tour four qualifiers from each group locking into the feature, Hickman fell short of the transfer and had to run a heat race. A third place finish in his heat race earned him the fourteenth starting spot for the 50 lap main event. In the feature, Riley settled to a nineteenth place finish in the final rundown.

Hickman continues to lead the latest SAS point’s standings. Complete results from the event and the latest series standings are available at www.SASDirt.com
