MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (May 22, 2023) – Ian Madsen and Mitchellville, Iowa’s TKS Motorsports were strong from start to finish on Friday night at Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa, capping the POWRi 410 program with not only a top-five outcome, but an impressive preliminary effort to boot. Madsen, who finished fourth on Friday night to secure his first top-five score of the year for TKS Motorsports, started seventh in his A-Main efforts, activating the evening program with the sixth-fastest time in qualifying, followed by a third-place effort during his respective heat race.
Despite all-out success on Friday night, Madsen and TKS Motorsports were unable to harness that momentum into Saturday, forced to settle with a 19th-place outcome at the Sprint Car Capital of the World, Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. A flat tire during A-Main action was the final culprit, negating any and all potential the team may have gathered.
“Not the Knoxville ending we wanted, but it’s certainly not from a lack of trying,” Troy Renfro, owner of the TKS Motorsports, Albaugh – Your Alternative, Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, deWit Construction, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, Freedom Concrete Pumping, No. 2KS sprint car, said. “Overall, pleased with how our evening went at Lee County. We want to build on this and create similar success at Knoxville. That’s always been the goal.”
ON DECK:
TKS Motorsports and Ian Madsen will continue their 2023 campaign with another visit to the “Sprint Car Capital of the World,” Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, May 27.
