World of Outlaws late model driver Chris Madden continued on a hot streak this weekend at Lernerville Speedway. Kicking off Firecracker 100 weekend with his third World of Outlaws Craftsman\u00ae<\/sup> Late Model Series win, Smokey Madden worked his way from a fourth place starting position during Thursday night\u2019s first 30-lap feature of the weekend to begin a hard-fought mission that culminated during Saturday night\u2019s 100-lap feature.<\/p>\n

Although Madden had to settle for a third-place finish in Friday night\u2019s 30-lap feature, everything changed as the green flag waved over the 26-car field during Saturday night\u2019s 100-lap Firecracker 100. As our friends at the World of Outlaw so eloquently put it, \u201cIf you just kept your eyes on Madden during the 100-lap event, it might have looked like he was on a Sunday afternoon cruise to the grocery store.\u201d<\/p>\n

In dominating fashion, Madden and his Barry Wright Race Cars No.44 had no serious challenge for the top spot and at one point held a more than six second lead over the field. Despite six cautions, the Gray Court, SC driver led every lap en route to a $30,000 payday as well as his first-career Firecracker 100 victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a bit of a different combination in our Barry Wright Race Cars No. 44 on Saturday night,\u201d said Madden. \u201cBecause of this, I was able to run the middle of the racetrack and I knew then that we were going to be the car to beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks to an eye-popping weekend, Madden retains the World of Outlaws Craftsman\u00ae Late Model points lead going into the DIRTcar Racing Summer Nationals at Terre-Haute Action Track on June 29 and Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 on June 30.
