Ian Madsen Holds Off Brother Kerry to Win $4,000 at
Knoxville! KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 1, 2017) – On Pizza Hut/Knoxville Hospitals and
Clinics Night, Ian Madsen put on a clinic of his own, leading all 20 laps
to record his tenth career feature win at the Knoxville Raceway in the 410
class Saturday. The St. Mary’s, New South Wales, Australia native earned
$4,000 and kept his position on top of a competitive point race. Calvin
Landis stormed to his third career 360 win, over a 40-car field that
included representatives of the Nebraska 360 Sprint Series and the Upper
Midwest Sprint Series (UMSS). Rookie Eric Bridger won an emotional 305
feature, his first here. Justin Henderson stormed from the pole in the 20-lap 410 feature, but
Ian Madsen crossed under him in turn two to take command. Two laps in,
contact from another car sent Tasker Phillips into a spin in turn three,
bringing the only caution of the event. Madsen led Henderson, Kerry Madsen, Brian Brown and Terry McCarl back
to the green. Kerry quickly picked up second, and began pursuing his
brother. Brown shot under Henderson to take over third. By lap eight, Ian was entering lapped traffic. He guided the KCP Racing
#18 high and low, but faltered a bit on the 14th lap. Kerry shot to the
low side of turn one on lap 15 to take the lead briefly. Ian would shoot
off the bottom of turn two and storm back by. Ian would pull away to the checkers for his third 410 feature win here
this year, ahead of Kerry, Brown, Henderson and Terry McCarl. Austin
McCarl gained a few spots late for sixth, and Brooke Tatnell, Danny
Lasoski, Dakota Hendrickson and Lynton Jeffrey rounded out the top ten.
Brown posted quick time and won his heat race. Terry McCarl and Josh
Schneiderman were other heat winners. “I knew Kerry and Brian were going to be coming,” said Ian in Victory
Lane. “It’s tough sometimes when you’re leading in lapped traffic. You
don’t get to move around as much. Kerry got by me and I just had to get up
on the wheel and run the top as hard as I could. I got some good breaks in
lapped traffic and was lucky enough to hold on to win. It’s awesome to get
another win here at Knoxville this year, and I can’t thank my team
enough.” With two sanctions joining the 360 regulars at Knoxville the car count
swelled to 40. McKenna Haase flipped several times when the main event
began after contact with Chris Martin sent her careening into turn one.
Fortunately, she was o.k. Brooke Tatnell started on the pole of the 20-lap feature and led lap
one. Calvin Landis was right beside him, however, and had the lead by the
first turn of the second lap. Devin Kline followed Landis into second, but
spun in turn four with two laps in the books. Landis led Tatnell, Jon Agan, Matt Moro and Ryan Giles back to green
after Joe Beaver was sent into the turn one wall on the initial restart.
He was uninjured. Moro and Agan exchanged third, before Agan asserted
himself and shot by Tatnell for second on lap five. At the halfway point, Landis had a 3.4 second lead and was entering
lapped traffic. He continued to pull away, with Agan trailing him.
Disaster came for Agan on lap 18, however, when he went up in smoke. A green, white, checker finish saw Landis hold on for his third career
360 win here, ahead of Moro, Tatnell, Giles and Cody Ledger. Clint Garner,
Jason Martin, Nebraska 360 Sprint Series Speedway Motors $200 Hard-charger
Sawyer Phillips, Jamie Ball and Nate Van Haaften completed the top ten.
Giles and Agan set the standard in qualifying over their respective
groups, while Josh Riggins, Christian Bowman, Garner and Ledger were heat
winners. Sawyer Phillips also won the B. “Does this feel good!” said Landis in Victory Lane. “Three times in the
last year we’ve led the most laps, and somehow, I’ve managed to let it go
with two laps to go. This is win #47 in my sprint car career, and it’s
taken a long time to get to that. In the 1990’s, the wins came and came,
and when you get on a down streak, it’s hard to get back up. My crew stuck
with me, and they stuck behind me.” Brandon Worthington spun at the start of the 15-lap 305 feature. Tyler
Glass was the only one to make contact with him, but he continued. Eric
Bridger started on the pole. The rookie has suffered some bad luck this
season, but he’d turn it around on Saturday. Bridger shot out to a lead early over Brad Comegys and Mike Mayberry.
Chris Walraven moved into the top three on lap two, while Rob Kubli made
some moves into fourth. Bridger had built a 3.7 second lead by the eighth
circuit. Behind him Kubli had a run, taking third from Walraven on lap
nine, and second from Comegys on lap 11. Ryan Leavitt and Kelby Watt contacted on lap 13, sending Leavitt upside
down in turn two. He was unhurt. The red flag erased a 4.7 second lead for
Bridger, but it didn’t matter. He would coast the last two laps to victory
over Kubli, Walraven, Matthew Stelzer and Kade Higday. Comegys, Kevin
Hetrick, hard-charger Glass, Mayberry and Corey Kautz rounded out the top
ten. Higday time in quickest, while Stelzer and Kubli won the heats. “I felt like I was struggling in lapped traffic a lot,” said Bridger
afterwards. “But I don’t know. I was driving as hard as I could. We were
really good in clean air, and we got the job done. This feels like 200
pounds just got lifted off. This is unbelievable. Some people bash these
crate motors, but you know what, we’re standing here in Victory Lane!” Next Saturday night, July 8 is Dennison Racing Tees/Jersey Freeze
Night! All three sprint car classes will again be in action! For more
