Ferguson and Larson lock up second straight at Black Hills Speedway while Leiker joins victor list

RAPID CITY, SD (May 17) - Leonard Ferguson, Dean Larson and Troy Leiker were winners Friday night at Black Hills Speedway, as the track completed its second week of action. Ferguson and Larson were repeat winners, while Leiker won in his first appearance of 2024.

Ferguson led from start to finish to grab his second win in a row at BHS in the WISSOTA Street Stocks. He was chased to the checkered flag by Les Cuny, Warren Pourier, Jr., Troy Murner and Cole Phillips in the top five.

In the WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, Leiker had the lead before the first lap was complete, and held on through 15 more laps to secure the victory ahead of last week’s winner, Kyle Harkin. Matt Heinzerling, Darin Hauff, and 12th-starter Paul Parks completed the top five.

Rob Arlaud had to settle for second, and Khi Jackson was third.

In the Modifieds, Brent Nielsen was the winner from his pole starting spot, while John Garrigan, Jr. took the win in the Hobby Stocks.
