Chris Madden invaded Lancaster Motor Speedway in Lancaster, South
Carolina and Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney, South Carolina over
the May 1-2 weekend. On Friday night in a Carolina Clash Super
Late Model Series tilt at the sprawling Lancaster speedplant,
Chris won his heat race in preliminary action and had climbed
up inside of the top five late in the $6,335 to win main event
before problems in the waning laps relegated "Smokey"
to ninth in the final finishing order. At Cherokee on Saturday
evening in the 'Palmetto Invitational,' which boasted a $10,000
top prize, Chris qualified sixth quickest in Group B during time
trials, ran second in his heat race, and later blasted up to second
in the 60-lap headliner to finish behind only race winner Brandon
Overton! Complete results from both weekend battles in the Palmetto

CHRIS MADDEN
BACK IN WOO ACTION IN VOLUNTEER STATE
March
8, 2020 -
The World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series season
heated back up for the #0M team on March 6-7 in the Volunteer
State of Tennessee. On Friday night at Duck River Raceway Park
in Wheel, Tennessee, Chris Madden clicked off the fastest lap
in Group B during the qualifying session before securing a heat
race triumph. After rolling off from the outside of the second
row in the $10,000 to win feature event, Chris unfortunately missed
on tires for the contest and wound up slipping back to ninth in
the final rundown.
At Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tennessee
on Saturday evening, a $12,000 top prize was up for grabs in the
annual running of the 'Tennessee Tipoff.' Chris once again qualified
well and won his heat race before leading the first 24 circuits
of the 60-lap headliner from the outside of the front row. Unfortunately,
power steering woes cost "Smokey" a chance at a possible
win and relegated him to a disappointing twenty-fourth place effort.
The Gray Court, South Carolina star now sits fourth in the latest
version of the WOOLMS point standings following the Tennessee
two-step. Complete results from both weekend duels can be accessed
