To get a victory is awesome.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Stevie Smith, who started on the pole by virtue of a dominating dash victory, rocketed to the early feature lead with Sam Hafertepe Jr. in tow. Madsen, who started on the outside of Smith, passed Hafertepe Jr. for the runner-up position around lap five and began to chase down Smith once the duo entered traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Smith\u2019s advantage of nearly half a straightaway was quickly erased and Madsen tried a slide job in turns three and four on lap 18. However, he didn\u2019t have enough speed and Smith maintained the lead. Two laps later, Hafertepe Jr. stopped on the frontstretch with a flat right rear tire while running fourth to bring out a caution a lap before the halfway point.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when things became a little hectic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were really important and they were awfully hard to figure out tonight,\u201d Smith said of the restarts. \u201cIt was a tough deal on the restarts. The bottom was still real good. The top was kinda further around and there were guys coming in the middle, so it got really interesting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe double-file restarts made it an interesting race. Unfortunately, it gave Kerry an advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Smith got through turns one and two with the lead, Madsen through a big slider on Smith in turns three and four. Smith tried to turn underneath Madsen, who had just enough to hold onto the top spot as they raced down the frontstretch.<\/p>\n<p>Smith had a shot at redemption 10 laps later when Jac Haudenschild caused a caution by dramatically slowing in front of the Madsen-Smith battle on the backstretch. Madsen chose the inside lane on the double-file restart and narrowly edged Smith for the lead exiting turn two.<\/p>\n<p>While drivers throughout the field were sliding each other every lap, the battle up front continued to be replayed with restarts after Chad Kemenah flipped in turn four on lap 34. Once again, Madsen choose the inside lane and once again, he held off a side-by-side clash with Smith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was pretty nice,\u201d Madsen said. \u201cIf it was two or three feet difference, I would have had to lift and couldn\u2019t clear him. It was as close at it got.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The final caution was waved on that restart after David Gravel was called for leaving the outside lane too early. However, Madsen was able to avoid being slid and drove to the narrow win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t really being nice to him,\u201d Smith said after finishing second. \u201cI don\u2019t really have a good excuse; he just did a heck of a job. He won the race. It\u2019s his race. It\u2019s his night and we\u2019re just going to be glad with second and move on to the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gravel, who piloted from 13<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0to third in the first half of the race, rebounded from his late penalty to round out the podium \u2013 his sixth top five of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was definitely good racing,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s the best in sprint car racing. A lot of the guys you run with up front you can trust. That was a good showing tonight how clean everybody raced, especially up front.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Greg Wilson picked up the KSE Hard Charger Award after driving from 17<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0to fourth and Donny Schatz finished fifth.
