Chris Madden got underneath and past Scott Bloomquist to claim victory at Night 1 of the Colossal 100 at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Thursday. Bloomquist had led the entire 30-lap event from the pole to that point, but lapped traffic came into play, upsetting Bloomquist’s No. 0 Super Late Model, allowing Madden to squirt past with three laps to go and hold on for the win.
Madden stalked Bloomquist for the latter part of the night after getting by Ross Bailes on a restart midway through the feature. As the two caught traffic, Madden’s No. 44 crept closer and closer. Bloomquist washed up the track, and Madden got underneath him coming off Turn 2. This is Madden’s seventh all-time win at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
“We needed that long run. We were good in traffic. We got into lapped traffic and he got a little loose,” Madden said. “We were able to get up under him down the backstretch and make the pass.”
Bloomquist held off Jonathan Davenport for second, Bailes finished fourth and Chris Madden finished fifth. This is Madden’s seventh all-time win at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
