Ooltewah race car driver Riley Hickman slipped past Tom Maddox of Centre, Ala., on the 18th lap and won the Cabin Fever 40 race and $3,000 Saturday night at Boyd's Speedway. The event carried extra emotion for Hickman, as his father had died of cancer five days earlier. Hickman was the 2012 Southern Regional Racing Series champion, but this was his first win in the series since last May in Summertown, Tenn. Jeff Smith of Villanow, Ga., finished second, with Maddox, Rick Hixson of Soddy-Daisy and Caleb Ashby of Cunningham, Tenn., completing the top five. Hickman finished third in the Crate Late Model race won by Michael Page of Douglasville, Ga. Adding to the night's excitement was the fact that this was the first competition at Boyd's since it was bought by David Duplissey and former dirt track world champion Dale McDowell.
