Chris Madden
Chris Madden has been steady although not necessarily spectacular throughout much of the 2023 season but that changed on Friday night when he scored a World of Outlaws Case Construction Late Model Series victory at Cedar Lake Speedway. The second of three nights at the track served as a preliminary for the crown jewel USA Nationals which will be contested on Saturday evening.
The Rocket Chassis driver from Gray Court, SC earned $6,000 for his efforts on the track located in New Richmond, Wisconsin in a race shown live by DirtVision.com.
A total of 48 cars were signed in for competition.

Feature Re-cap: At the start of the 25-lap feature it was Madden who jumped out to the early lead with O’Neal, Babb, English and Thornton in his tracks. English threatened Madden’s lead throughout the first half of the race with O’Neal also joining the fray.
The front runners held station as they fought through slower traffic until a lap 21 caution flag was shown to the field when Davenport spun.
Madden maintained the lead on the restart while O’Neal rose to second. Madden then drove on to the checkered flag
