Kerry Madsen victorious in Border Battle showdown at Jackson Motorplex

JACKSON, Minn.—Kerry Madsen and Trevor Serbus hustled to feature triumphs on Friday night at Jackson Motorplex during the C & B Border Battle presented by New Fashion Pork and SW Broadband.

Madsen held the point throughout the 25-lap Wieskus Memorial feature, which kicked off the Border Battle No. 2 weekend with additional races on Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, and Sunday at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D. It marked Madsen’s first win at Jackson Motorplex since 2021.

“I knew there was probably a lower line in (turns) three and four,” he said. “I figured if I could make some clean laps around the top and maintain track position I would be okay. I just tried to pace myself a little bit and not get too close to the lappers.

“Jackson has always been a favorite. I love the big track and love the little track. Tod (Quiring) does an amazing job with sprint car complexes.”

Madsen was challenged early by Justin Henderson before Kaleb Johnson, who started eighth, made his way into second place on Lap 10 of the Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event.

Johnson closed within a few car lengths, but Madsen was strong on the cushion and picking through traffic before a restart on Lap 17 cleared the track. He ran clean laps during the final third of the race to hold off Johnson by 0.973 seconds.

“I didn’t get a good start there at the end,” Johnson said of the late-race restart. “Unfortunately, we were one spot short. We’re getting better and better every night. We have some momentum going into the rest of the weekend.”

Austin McCarl rounded out the podium with Henderson ending fourth. MSTS 410 Sprint Cars points leader Jack Dover captured a fifth-place result with a pass on the penultimate lap.

Henderson was quickest during Nordica Warehouses qualifying before Landon Crawley, Christopher Thram and Ryan Timms posted heat race wins. Henderson was also the Sioux Falls Toy Show dash winner.

Serbus led the distance of the 20-lap Heser Auto & Detailing RaceSaver Sprint Cars main event for his first victory at the track since 2022.

“Obviously I knew Lee (Goos Jr.) was going to be a challenge with both of us starting on the front row,” he said. “This is the track that I struggle at the most. Honestly, most of the time I suck here so it’s good to get a win.”

Following a caution on the start of the feature, the race ran non-stop until Lap 18 when second-running Lee Goos Jr. collided with a lapped car entering turn one. John Lambertz, who was running fifth, also sustained race-ending damage after clipping the front end of the stopped Goos Jr.

Dusty Ballenger recorded a runner-up result – 1.933 seconds behind Serbus – with Brandon Halverson placing third. Brandon Bosma advanced from 10th to fourth place and Nick Barger was fifth.

The heat races were won by Goos Jr., Halverson, Bosma and Matt Johnson. Jeremy Kerzman was the B Main winner.

The next event at Jackson Motorplex is Tuesday for the Jeff Heser & Denny Froderman Memorial featuring the Heser Auto & Detailing RaceSaver Sprint Cars, USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, USRA Hobby Stocks and USRA B Modifieds.
