Donny Goeden captured the season opener for the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series by capturing Round 1 of Charter Raceway Park's Duel At The Dam. Goeden, last year's winningest IRA driver,  picked up where he left off last season with another trip to victory lane aboard the Bob Walldan owned #11 Maxim. Despite starting on the front row, the win by no means came easy. Action galore throughout the field gave the fans who braved an extremely cold evening a show well worth the trip.

Opening night at Charter Raceway Park was chilly but the racing was red hot as the Badger Midget Series and the Interstate Racing Association sprint cars took to the 1/3 mile oval.  In the headline event for the IRA cars, the action got off to a rough start with Tommy Sexton flipping his 83D machine going into turn number one just after completing lap number 1.  Sexton was ok but was obviously done for the night. On the restart, King was able to get a great jump and worked past Goeden.  But following another yellow on lap 19, King coasted to the infield with a report of being out of gas giving the lead back to Goeden.  Following a red flag incident on lap 25, Goeden went on to the win followed by Steve Meyer and Scotty Neitzel.

Back in January, Dan Fredrickson made this statement, “Going into this season, if we get a good start and have a good time at what we are doing, we will make a run for the points.” After two events, its safe to say that he is on track as he holds a 62-point lead over Josh Vadnais after two events. Fredrickson picked up his fourth ASAMT win this past Sunday in the ECHO Chainsaw 100 at Madison International Speedway.

Dan Fredrickson will admit that he never had a good run at Madison International Speedway.

And now Madison is one of my favorite tracks.” Press Release (05-5-08)

Jeremy Miller and Michael Bilderback got the large crowd on hand at Madison International Speedway on their feet as the two put on a classic short track battle in the Big 8 Series presented by Gandrud Chevrolet feature event.  At the checkers, it was the defending champion holding off the young pilot. Bilderback led most of the 38-lap event, while Miller made a hard charge at the end.  "I kinda used Mikey up there.  He was pinching me on the bottom and I got a better run than him and he was slowing up, so I gave him a little nudge just to move him back where he belonged.  It was a racing thing," Miller described his last lap move as the two came out of turn two.

No matter if you are a fan or a competitor; you will need to walk up a hill to see it. Just like Richard Dreyfuss climbed up a hill to see Devil’s Tower in “Close Encounter of the Third Kind”, you climb up to see what you imagined it would look like. For many, that is how their first experience is when they come to Madison International Speedway the first time. It’s a short drive off of Hwy 138, down a country road to a piece of property that becomes a gathering place to see some of the best racing around. Press Release (05-2-08)
