Madsen Takes Title Tilt

From Ken Brown

Kerry Madsen made his first drive for the Kendrick 92.9 Racing Team this summer a winning one when he annexed the Western Australian Sprintcar Championship down at the Coates Hire Bunbury Speedway last Saturday November 20.

Madsen becomes only the second interstater – joining fellow New South Welshman Garry Brazier (1993-94) – to take the state title honours.

Shaun Bradford – whose father (Ian) and grandfather (Noel) have both been WA Champions – came home second ahead of Jason Kendrick, Carl Dowling, David Priolo, Ben Ellement, Mark Wells, Luch Monte, David Hall, Darren Mewett, Steven Ford, Sheldon Brady and Adyme Harvey in the 30-lap A Main.

The meeting also scored points for the season long AHG Sprintcar Series.

In the absence of Ian Madsen (away running World Series Sprintcars) Luch Monte has gone back to the top of the standings ahead of Mark Wells, Ben Ellement, Sheldon Brady and Jason Kendrick.

The fifth round of the Championship will be held this coming Saturday (November 27) at the Perth Motorplex with the 29th running of the King of Wings event.
