MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (July 29, 2024) – It was an incredible run for the “Quickest Chicken” Chase Randall and TKS Motorsports, capitalizing on a busy, five-race campaign with five consecutive top-ten scores, all of which highlighted with a $7,000 victory at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minnesota, on Friday, July 26. Randall, now a four-time winner in 2024 with Mitchellville, Iowa’s TKS Motorsports, led all 25 circuits of the Border Battle main event – his first triumph of the year at the state-of-the-art complex.
“It’s really special to win a really, really special race,” Randall said in Jackson Victory Lane. “I definitely felt a lot of pressure. Once I got to lapped traffic I was committed to the top in (turns) one and two. Once I got close to guys I felt myself slowing down and couldn’t get off the corners. I was searching a little bit. I saw the bottom was still good in (turns) one and two. We were able to hold them off.
“We’ve been making a lot of gains the past couple of weeks on the bigger tracks. It’s good to head into these next couple of weeks with a lot of momentum.”
In addition to his victory, Randall, ace of Troy Renfro’s Albaugh – Your Alternative, Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, AL Driveline, TJ Forged, No. 2KS sprint car, finished fourth during 360 action at Jackson Motorplex on Thursday, July 25, seventh and fifth during 410 and 360 action at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, July 27, and second at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, South Dakota, on Sunday, July 28 – the weekend’s final Border Battle program. Impressive enough, Randall led much of Huset’s Sunday night showstopper, taking command on lap nine before surrendering the top spot to Garet Williamson on lap 24. The runner-up performance was Randall’s fourth of the year on the Huset’s highbanks.
“We couldn’t be more proud of Chase, especially leading into the 360 Knoxville Nationals,” Troy Renfro expressed. “He’s really making our jobs look easy. We’re confident big things are ahead this weekend at Knoxville Raceway.”
