MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (April 17, 2023) - Despite Mother Nature ruining all chances of additional testing prior to the upcoming blockbuster, Ian Madsen and TKS Motorsports are more than prepared, ready to take on the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in a two-day invasion of Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Friday and Saturday, April 21-22.
Madsen, certainly no stranger to the Sprint Car Capital of the World, is a former track champion at the famed oval, hoping to utilize that experience in what he hopes to be a major weekend for the Albaugh - Your Alternative/Iowa Barnstormers No. 2KS team.
As hinted, Knoxville Raceway’s season opener, slated for Saturday, April 15, was eventually canceled due to poor weather.
“This will be our first major test against the Outlaws, but I think we’re ready to compete,” Troy Renfro, owner of TKS Motorsports, said. “We haven’t had the best of luck so far this year, but no better time to shake that off than when the Outlaws are in town.”
Speaking of bad luck, Madsen and TKS Motorsports were forced to DNF during High Limit Sprint Car Series competition at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, on Tuesday, April 11. Incidental contact - a “nowhere to go” situation - during the evening’s $50,000-to-win A-Main kept the team from any further progress.
ON DECK:
TKS Motorsports and Ian Madsen will continue their 2023 campaign with an early season World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series doubleheader at the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Friday and Saturday, April 21-22.
