The Riggs Motorsports team was busy to open up the month of May, as both Kevin Cole and Jason Riggs were in action in southwestern Kentucky last weekend. On Thursday night, May 1, the Paducah International Raceway in Paducah, Kentucky played host to a regular weekly show. Kevin ran second in his heat race prior to finishing thirteenth in the $1,000 to win A-Main. Jason drove his #81jr entry to a sixth place finish in his heat race before winding up sixteenth in the main event.

The action then turned to the Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway in Calvert City, Kentucky on Friday and Saturday, May 2-3 for the annual '99 Extravaganza' weekend. Following a rain-out on Friday night, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned a $9,999 to win show on Saturday evening. Kevin ran second in his heat race at KLMS on Saturday to earn a coveted starting spot in the 50-lap main event. Unfortunately for the Christopher, Illinois driver, he suffered problems early in the A-Main and wound up twenty-fourth in the final rundown.

Jason also made a last minute decision to compete on Saturday evening, May 3, as he traveled to the Clarksville Speedway in Clarksville, Tennessee. The youngest member of the Riggs Motorsports team turned in a solid tenth place performance Saturday night at the Volunteer State speedplant!

Kevin Cole, of Christopher, Illinois, picked up his first Dirt Late Model feature win of the young 2008 racing season on Saturday night, April 26 at the I57/I64 Raceway in Mount Vernon, Illinois! Along with winning on Saturday, Kevin also drove his #81c to an eleventh place finish on Friday evening, April 25 at the Paducah International Raceway in Paducah, Kentucky.

Jason Riggs also competed in the pair of races over the weekend at Mount Vernon and Paducah. Jason earned a couple of impressive top ten finishes, as he ran ninth on Friday at PIR and eighth on Saturday at Mount Vernon.
