Madden Claims Southern All Stars
First Event At Wythe
Authored by: Brad Byrd - Southern All Stars Dirt Racing SeriesRural Retreat, VA (7-2-10) Fast qualifier Chris Madden of Grey Court, SC dominated the first ever Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series event at Wythe Raceway on Friday night, earning $5,000 for his victory in the Firecracker 50.
Madden built comfortable leads throughout at the half-mile oval en route to his 39th career series victory. Third starting Chris Wall of Holden, LA was the runner-up followed by Brandon Kinzer of Allen, KY who survived a lap-32 tangle with outside front-row starter Austin Dillon of Welcome, NC, who looped his car after peeling a right rear tire from his number 3 mount.
Shannon Buckingham of Morristown, TN, who started tenth, was fourth and fellow fifth-row starter Kenny Compton Jr. of Bland, VA rounded out the top five.
Chris Fergusson of Mount Holly, NC started fourth and was running second when an oil line fire forced him out on lap 46; he wasn’t injured.
Madden’s Bloomquist Race Cars number 44 is sponsored by Century Plastics and Hamrick’s of Gaffney SC. Madden’s last SAS victory came in the 2009 finale at Cleveland Speedway in Tennessee.
The next stops on the twenty-eight year touring series is a double-header weekend on Friday July 16th at Boyd’s Speedway in Ringgold, GA for the forty-lap, $4,000 to win Summer Slammer and Saturday July 17th for the fifty-lap, $5,000 to win Jean Johnson Memorial at Cleveland Speedway in Cleveland, TN.
