TANNER
ENGLISH COMPETES AT BRISTOL; JACK RIGGS LANDS ON PODIUM
(May
5, 2022) Riggs Motorsports found themselves at a pair
of Tennessee ovals over the April 29-30 weekend. Tanner English
and his #81E team invaded the dirt-covered Bristol Motor Speedway
in Bristol, Tennessee over the weekend, as the World of Outlaws
Case Construction Late Model Series sanctioned the 2nd Annual
'Bristol Bash.' On Friday night in the $25,000 to win opener,
Tanner timed in thirteenth fastest overall during qualifying and
ran fourth in his heat race before slipping to twelfth in the
final finishing order of the 30-lap headliner. (Josh

At Bristol on Saturday evening, a similar $25,000
to win program was held to close out the doubleheader weekend.
Tanner placed fifth in his stacked heat race to earn the inside
of the seventh row for the start of the 30-lapper. The Benton,
Kentucky ace then fought hard for a top ten showing prior to ultimately
being paid for another twelfth place performance. Tanner now sits
third in the latest version of the WOOLMS point standings exiting
the 'Bristol Bash.'
Teammate Jack Riggs also took his #81J Crate Late
Model to Clarksville Speedway in Clarksville, Tennessee on Saturday,
April 30. Competing against the more powerful Super Late Models,
Jack still qualified third quickest before landing on the podium
in the weekly A-Main. At the checkers, Jack found himself in the
third spot trailing only victor Michael Seibers and runner-up
Brandon Tibaldi. Full results from both Volunteer State venues
can be found online at www.woolms.com
and www.clarksvillespeedway.com.
Tanner and the Riggs Motorsports team have followed
the World of Outlaws Late Model Series north to Mississippi Thunder
Speedway and they are currently in the pit area at the Fountain
City, Wisconsin oval for the 2nd edition of the ‘Dairyland
Showdown.’ Later tonight and on Friday evening, a pair of
$10,000 top prizes will be on the line in preliminary events.
The tripleheader will then wrap up in a big way on Saturday evening,
May 7, as a whopping $50,000 paycheck will be up for grabs in
a 75-lap grand finale. You can watch all of the action from the
Badger State LIVE on DIRTvision and find more information online
