Gerdes, Scott, Adams, Vogel and Lange leave Madtown happy with feature money in hand

MADISON, MN (September 26) - Racers and fans gathered at Madison Speedway for one final weekend September 26-27, as the southwestern Minnesota speedplant hosted its annual Lou’s Madtown Showdown.

WISSOTA Dirt Track Series winners Friday included Brady Gerdes, Travis Scott, Blake Adams, Justin Vogel, and William Lange.

Gerdes started from the front row in the WISSOTA Modifieds and took the lead from polesitter Jacob Knapper with about six laps in the books. From there, he was able to stretch his advantage in the remaining three-fourths of the race by just slightly more than 1 second at the checkered flag ahead of Knapper. Justin VanEps, Dustin Bitzan and Ryan Flaten were top-five finishers.

In the WISSOTA Super Stocks, Scott also took the green from the front row, taking the lead with a few laps in the books and driving on to the victory. Ryan Kostreba, Zach Schultz, Doug Koski, and 11th-starter Andrew Hedtke completed the top five.

Justin Vogel held the lead early in the WISSOTA Street Stock feature, before Levi Randt got by for the top spot. Following a couple cautions around the midpoint of the race, Vogel regained the lead just past the halfway point and grabbed the checkered flag .717 of a second ahead of Randt. Fifteenth-starter Eric Riley charged to third at the finish, while Mike Jans and Coltyn Schuler rounded out the top five.

Blake Adams started from the pole of the WISSOTA Midwest Modified feature and led from start to finish to garner the win. Twelfth-starter Ryan Flaten picked his way forward to finish about a second behind in second place, while Travis Engebretson was third. Darren Engesser and Tim Kanten completed the top five.

Lange fended off challenges from Jeff Rohner in the middle stages of the race and then pulled away late to take the win in the WISSOTA Hornets. Jerik Stabler, Anthony Jenson and 13th-starter Brayden Begalka completed the top five.

In the track’s nonsanctioned action, Parker Gilbertson won in the Gen X Late Models and Carter Rice took top honors in the Pure Stocks.
