Chris Madden Continues Southern Nationals Stranglehold with Bulls Gap Win!

BULLS GAP, Tenn. (July 22) - Race Notes: Chris Madden virtually locked up his third Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Championship tonight with his win at Volunteer Speedway. After laying down the quickest lap during the qualifying session, Madden grabbed the lead at the start of the race and never looked back en route to his third series victory of the year and the seventeenth of his career. The race was for second behind Madden, as Eric Jacobsen and Ty Dillon raced side-by-side for multiple laps. It was a tough night for a couple of the Southern Nationals regulars, as Donald Bradsher hit the turn four wall on the second lap and Johnny Pursley, Jr. went up in smoke on lap 22. The Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series will crown a champion on Saturday, July 23 at the Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, Tennessee, as the miniseries concludes its seventh season with a $5,300 to win show.
