Rossburg, OH — (May 3, 2013) — Kerry Madsen won the STP World of Outlaws sprint car series feature Friday night at Eldora Speedway. For Madsen it was quite a turn around after the Keneric Racing team parted ways with their head mechanic during the week after some disappointing results.
Brad Sweet led from the front row until debris broke a spark plug, sending him pitside. Craig Dollansky then took over the lead, but Madsen able to catch and pass Dollansky on lap 17. From there Madsen motored to victory.
Dollansky held onto second with Paul McMahan finishing third. Donny Schatz, after having to run the Last Chance Showdown, charged from 24th starting position up to fourth. Jac Haudenschild rounded out the top five.
