Madsen mauls sprintcar opposition

KERRY Madsen won 30-lap World Series Sprintcars Grand Final in front of a strong crowd at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday night from Ryan Farrell and Brooke Tatnell. It was also round 12 of the AHG Sprintcar Series. The professional racer from America was never challenged in the main event as he dominated in the Keneric Racing #29 in front of his Perth-based team owners. Tatnell’s third was enough to win the WSS championship after his main rival David Murcott crashed out of the feature race late in the final. Madsen started the night by qualifying 12th in the 31-car field before taking a pair of fourths in his heats. He really hit his straps after qualifying in the Top 8 Dash, winning the Bronze, Silver and Gold Dashes to elevate himself to the front row. Farrell put in a barnstorming drive after starting from 15th, methodically picking off the drivers in front of him to get himself onto the podium. He did it the hard way after being forced to qualify from the B Main thanks to motor problems in qualifying that saw him 27th after time trials. He managed to get some valuable points after winning both his heat races, albeit from the front. Tatnell qualified 11th at the start of the night and also had motor dramas but the Krikke team also put in a massive effort to get the W2 onto the third row of the grid for the final. Brad Maiolo, who started from P14, lost valuable ground on the first corner, dropping back to last place. Madsen only took four laps to get into lapped traffic and showed he was a class above his rivals. The race went 12 laps before the field regrouped after Lee Nash spun on the back straight. Murcott and Jason Kendrick had contact on the main straight with six laps remaining, forcing Kendrick out of the contest despite running in the top five. Murcott was able to resume but is appears he suffered damage because moments later the A1 failed to turn at the end of the main straight and he ploughed into the fence – ending his chances of winning his maiden WSS crown. On the final restart Farrell was third but pounced on Tatnell for second in a stirring drive from the Diamond Bay Motorsport pilot. James McFadden, who started from P11, was fourth from Robbie Farr (P10), Cameron Gessner (P12), Kyle Hirst (P3), Steven Lines (P10), Shaun Bradford (P7), Matt Egel, David Priolo, Daniel Harding, Luke Dillon, Ryan Jones, Jamie Maiolo and Brad Maiolo. Murcott and Kendrick were the only non-finishers in the main event.
