"We were able to set quick time and I think we ran third in our heat," Brown said. "For the feature we got lucky with the draw to be on the front row. It was the same thing as the (360 feature). We ripped around there until we saw Lynton (Jeffrey). We moved down and did what we needed to do to win that one. It's awesome for our partners to be in the limelight at the end of the night."

July 3 - Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa (360 sprint car) - Qualifying: 5; Heat race: 4 (5); Feature: 1 (1).

"We like to run our 360 a couple of times prior to the 360 Knoxville Nationals so with Knoxville Raceway putting up the bonus for sweeping both 360 races last weekend it was a good opportunity to run the 360," Brown said. "For me, the most important thing is to stay hydrated. It's a lot of work for Chad, Nate and dad. We had Mike come along and help this weekend. Thanks for their hard work that go into running two cars, washing two cars and maintaining two cars.

"We qualified pretty decent and went fifth to fourth in the heat. I was able to start on the front row and get the lead in the feature. I ran around until I saw Jamie (Ball). Then I was able to hit the bottom, run my lines and get through traffic. You don't have an opportunity at the bonus if you don't win the first one and we did that."

July 4 - Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa (410 sprint car) - Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 3 (6); Feature: 2 (6).

"We got into third pretty decent in the feature," Brown said. "We ran Austin (McCarl) down and then ran Justin (Henderson) down. We got into traffic and I felt like it'd play into our hands. I tried to lap a car and go off their right rear. I got over the cushion and almost crashed it and almost killed my engine. That let Kasey (Kahne) back by. At that point I figured my race would be over. We were able to have that red flag with four laps to go. I was disappointed with myself for making a mistake in the heat of the battle. I told myself either I'm going to try to win this thing or run seventh and not just settle for fourth. We were able to get by Kasey and I ran as hard as I could the last three laps. We got by Austin and then came up a nose short of winning. Congrats to Justin and his team. They are good guys and I know how hard they work."

July 4 - Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa (360 sprint car) - Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 2 (6); Feature: 24 (8).

"We had quick time and went sixth to second in the heat," Brown said. "With the 360 it used to be I'd run 15 or 20 360 races per year and when it'd come to the 360 Knoxville Nationals I'd have a good idea what to do. The last couple of years I've only run three or four 360 shows per year. Those cars are different to setup than the 410s. We were more in tune with what the car needed and it showed by setting quick time and going sixth to second in the heat. We got a really good start in the feature and it got called back. On the second start we got to fourth before something happened with the rear end. We're not sure what happened internally. It was unfortunate. I felt like I had a good shot at winning and getting that bonus."

"We're excited to join the World of Outlaws for a couple of races along with returning to Knoxville this weekend," Brown said.

Team owner Jason Sides will compete on Friday at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa; on Saturday at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., during the Badger 40; and on Sunday at Terre Haute Action Track in Terre Haute, Ind. Tim Kaeding will be in a second car for the races at 34 Raceway and Wilmot Raceway.

"We have a trio of sizes of tracks to go to this weekend," Sides said. "It'll be nice to get into a normal routine of racing and then traveling and racing."

Sides and Kaeding both competed at Cedar Lake Speedway last weekend during the Independence Day Shootout.

Sides qualified 17th quickest, placed sixth in a heat race and advanced two positions in the main event to finish 15th on Friday. He followed that up on Saturday by timing in 14th quickest, ending seventh in a heat race, placing third in the Last Chance Showdown and gaining four spots in the feature to finish 17th.

Kaeding had similar results, ending Friday night 18th in the A Main and Saturday with a DNF.

"Hot was the key word," Sides said. "It was so hot. We struggled all weekend. We had a few little problems, minor things that were happening. On the final night TK said it felt like it was shaking so he pulled in. For me, the last 10 laps after I got lapped I passed six or seven cars, but it doesn't show it because you're a lap down. With a full load of fuel the balance wasn't very happy, but it felt great at the end of the night.

"Hopefully we can get rolling better this weekend and earn some better results."

"When I left home a few years ago the only place I ever wanted to win a race was at Knoxville Raceway," the Australian said. "The other races, yeah that's the goal to win. But if I never won a race at Knoxville it would have really bothered me. I'm glad we got that out of the way."

Bogucki kicked off the weekend by qualifying seventh quickest on Friday before he charged from fifth to win a heat race. That lined him up on the inside of the second row for the A Main.

"The first night in the feature I got the car way too tight," he said. "I fell back real fast. I was maybe 10th. I was trying to hang onto it. I searched and searched. I was too tight to run anywhere."

Bogucki hustled to a seventh-place outing.

Saturday began with Bogucki posting the fifth quickest time in qualifying. He then finished sixth in a heat race, but damage sustained during the race forced the team to work extra hard prior to Bogucki starting on the pole in the feature.

"I made a mistake in the heat race and knocked the rear end out of it," he said. "We thrashed to get it ready for the feature. We made half the adjustments that we did on Friday because I was not going to let myself get too tight again."

Bogucki led throughout the feature before slipping to second in the closing laps.

"I led one of these two years ago and Clint Garner got me with two laps to go," he said. "I was thinking, 'Not again.' I let it rip."

Bogucki stuck the bottom groove entering turn one on the final lap and edged into the lead exiting turn two. The battle for the win was nearly even in turns three and four with Bogucki using the bottom lane to propel him to the victory.

"It's the best race car I've ever had come feature-time at Knoxville," he said. "I've never had it where I could run it that hard and deep.

"I was looking at this weekend as a two-day test. I'm pretty happy with it."

Bogucki returns to Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour competition this Saturday at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark.

The Big Game Motorsports driver guided the Killer Instinct Crossbows sponsored sprint car to a podium finish on Friday before finishing fifth on Saturday at Cedar Lake Speedway, which hosted a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series doubleheader.

The action began on Thursday when preliminary competition featured qualifying for both the Friday and Saturday programs. Madsen set quick time for Friday's show and he was third quickest for Saturday's event. The night concluded with an elimination race, which inverted the top 12 from Friday's qualifying session.

"Qualifying night went well," he said. "We had to start 12th in the race because of the invert. We went forward and moved ahead every time they had those five-lap runs. We figured we'd mess around a little bit. It was good to try something and get track time."

Madsen advanced to place sixth in the special race.

Friday's competition featured a runner-up result in a heat race and a fifth-place outing in the dash to give Madsen the fifth starting position for the main event.

"We were real strong at the end of the race around the bottom," he said. "If I picked up that line a little earlier we could have had a better result. Who knows. Once I found that line it came to us. I was moving around and got caught in traffic and lost a couple of spots. I moved to the bottom and got it all back and then some. It was great to get a podium. We were catching the leader so it was a great boost."

Madsen's second-place showing was his best result with the World of Outlaws this season.

It gave the team added momentum entering Saturday's finale. Madsen won a heat race and finished fourth in the dash to line up on the outside of the second row for the main event.

"We got up to second right away and were running really strong in the A Main," he said. "I felt we could challenge for the lead when we got into traffic. We were pushing pretty hard. The last restart with eight or nine laps to go we were running out of fuel and I had abused the tires by that point. I tried to hang on as best as I could."

Madsen salvaged a fifth-place finish, which was his fourth top five of the year.

The team plans to compete with the World of Outlaws this Friday at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, and Sunday at Terre Haute Action Track in Terre Haute, Ind. Saturday's race will either be at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., with the World of Outlaws or at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa.

Daniel Earns Career-Best World of Outlaws Result at Cedar Lake Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - NEW RICHMOND, Wis. (July 6, 2020) - Mason Daniel produced his best weekend of the season during the Independence Day Shootout hosted by Cedar Lake Speedway.

Daniel made the most of his debut at the track, tying his second-best result of the season with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series last Friday before establishing a new career-best Outlaws finish on Saturday.

"It was a good weekend," he said. "We've had these flashes of good runs and then some bad runs follow. I think we're definitely improving. I am more consistent than I was at the beginning of the year."

Daniel qualified 19th quickest for Friday's show. He placed seventh in a heat race before winning the Last Chance Showdown, which earned a transfer into the back of the A Main.

"They reworked the track before the main event," he said. "It seemed like you could run wherever and maintain the same speed. I couldn't figure out where to run to be fastest and ended up on the bottom. I didn't really make any progress as we battled around 20th the whole race."

The 20th-place result was followed by a stout run on Saturday. Daniel, who had qualified 23rd quickest, finished eighth in a heat race before advancing from fourth to second place in the Last Chance Showdown. He then maneuvered from 20th to 13th in the main event.

"Saturday was a really good night in the main event," he said. "I think the track was in a different state starting earlier and it slicked off more. They reworked it for the A Main and it was a really racy track. I started off running the middle. Then I started moving up the track. I worked up to 11th or 12th. I destroyed the wall in turn four in the middle of the race and wasn't sure if I had a bent wheel. I was running pretty hard against it and thought there was a small cushion out of turn four. I went in harder than I had been to get a run on Dominic Scelzi and Daryn Pittman. Jacob Allen got by us when that happened. Then we had a red flag and I went to the bottom and lost a couple spots. I pulled my wing back and was able to run along the right rear of the cars running the bottom and made up ground in the closing laps."

Daniel's seven positions gained were the second most of the drivers in the field.

"It was a big confidence boost that we can start in the back and run toward the top 10," he said. "Thanks to my guys for the hard work. It's great to see our results improving."

Daniel has a trio of Outlaws shows on tap this weekend beginning on Friday at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. He will then make his debut at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., on Saturday during the Badger 40. The weekend concludes on Sunday at Terre Haute Action Track in Terre Haute, Ind., where Daniel made his World of Outlaws debut in 2018.

Kaleb Johnson Produces Career-Best Weekend at Knoxville Raceway

Inside Line Promotions - KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 6, 2020) - Kaleb Johnson enjoyed a pair of solid runs at Knoxville Raceway, including the best finish of his career at the track, during a doubleheader last weekend.

Johnson battled approximately 40 drivers each night to finish fifth on Friday and sixth on Saturday in the 360ci sprint car A Mains.

"We were really happy with our weekend in general," said Johnson, who posted similar results in qualifying, heat and feature competition each night. "It would've been even better if I didn't fade a bit at the end of each feature. But considering the number of laps we've raced at Knoxville compared to most of our competitors, I was really pleased. It's satisfying to know that we can race with them.

"I wasn't really expecting to do that well on Friday, considering the number and the quality of the cars that were there and my lack of experience. We qualified okay (14th of 41 drivers), but nothing great. We were able to move up a spot in our heat race after starting third and that put us in the 10th starting spot for the feature.

"We planned to try some different stuff for the feature, instead of running the bottom like we did the first two weeks. But the top wasn't the place to be and our car still handled well on the bottom. I was able to pick off a few cars and eventually got by Carson (McCarl) for fourth. But then I took a little too long getting around some lapped cars toward the end of the race and he was able to sneak back past me and I finished fifth."

Saturday night began with a similar qualifying effort - 12th quickest of 38 cars.

"I was a little disappointed with my qualifying on Saturday," he said. "I feel if I had watched the track a little closer, I could've done better. That's on me."

Johnson started fourth in his heat race.

"It's a bit hard to move up in your heat when you start fourth and have Carson McCarl and Davey Heskin on the front row," he said. "But I was able to move to third and finish there."

That placed Johnson in the 10th starting spot in the A Main for the second consecutive night.

"We had a really good car early in the race and were able to move up to fourth," he said. "I was about to pass Jamie Ball for third when the red came out. When the race restarted, I lost a couple of spots. Looking back, I should've searched around the track a little bit when the bottom went away in turns one and two. I think that's something that will come with more laps."

Johnson will return to competition at Knoxville Raceway this Friday.

"We're looking forward to going back there," he said. "I think we're really coming together as a team now. We're having a lot of fun."

Setters Scores Third Straight Rocky Mountain Sprint Car Series Victory

Inside Line Promotions - GREAT FALLS, Mont. (July 6, 2020) - James Setters has finished first in each of the last five races he has been on the track at Electric City Speedway, where he swept the night last Friday during a Rocky Mountain Sprint Car Series event.

Setters guided the Mike Quigley owned sprint car to heat race and feature triumphs for the second straight week. In fact, the only time Setters hasn't won while competing this year was during the heat race of the season opener when he placed second.

"We put all Slade Shock Technology shocks on last Friday and it was much more consistent," he said.

Setters won his heat race from the pole position to earn a spot into the feature redraw. He then pulled the No. 2 to line up on the outside of the front row for the main event.

"It started raining after my heat and soaked the track," he said. "Mike brought the track back in and made it runnable. It was throttle down.

"I was running the middle to top. (Tim McCune) peaked his nose in going through traffic. He almost got by me, right up to the side of me. I had the moisture and he was in the slime so I got the run down the straightaway."

Setters survived the one close call and led the distance to remain undefeated in three feature races this year.

"I adjusted my line to figure out how to get through traffic," he said. "It was so fast that if you didn't really trust your car you'd be slower."

Setters will take the next two weeks off before returning to Electric City Speedway on July 24.
