Headingly, Manitoba, Canada (08/13/14) – Ricky Weiss and the team concluded their busy stint with the Blaine Brothers Challenge Series over the weekend, and by the time the dust had settled Weiss was officially crowned the series champion in his #7 Derrick's Sandblasting/Bloomquist/ Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model

A tripleheader with the tour kicked off on Thursday night at Norman County Raceway (Ada, Minnesota). Twenty-seven WISSOTA Late Models registered for the event, and a heat race win sent Ricky to the redraw for the main event.

In the main event Weiss battle his way up to third where he finish behind race winner, Brady Smith, and Jake Redetzke. Don Shaw and Darrell Nelson rounded out the top five finishers.

The series' season finale was contested on Saturday night at Ogilvie Raceway (Ogilvie, Minnesota). A modest fifteen entries were on hand for the program, which saw Weiss finish third in his heat race after starting fifth.
