(HARRISBURG, ILLINOIS) Randy Korte returned to racing action in his home state of Illinois over the April 26-27 weekend and scored the first win for the Riggs Motorsports team in 2013! On Saturday night at the LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Illinois, Randy laid down the quickest lap in his group during the qualifying session and later took the win in his heat race. The Highland, Illinois ace then grabbed the lead late in the UMP main event to score the $1,200 triumph over Kevin Weaver, Jay Morris, Rich Bell, and Scott Schmitt.
Earlier in the weekend, Randy was in competition on Friday evening at the Farmer City Raceway in Farmer City, Illinois. The ‘Douglas Dodge 50’ boasted a $5,000 winner’s check at the 1/4-mile fairgrounds complex. Randy posted the eighteenth fastest lap during time trials and later ran fourth in heat race action. The popular driver known as “King Kong” wound up retiring early from the 50-lapper and was credited with a sixteenth place performance. Full results from both races can be viewed online at www.lasallespeedway.com and www.farmercityracing.com.
