BURLINGTON, WI (Wednesday, May 07, 2008) – Back in January, Dan Fredrickson made this statement, “Going into this season, if we get a good start and have a good time at what we are doing, we will make a run for the points.” After two events, its safe to say that he is on track as he holds a 62-point lead over Josh Vadnais after two events.

Fredrickson picked up his fourth ASAMT win this past Sunday in the ECHO Chainsaw 100 at Madison International Speedway. This was a great follow-up to his second place finish at the opening event at Elko Speedway back in April.

He also has collected an ECHO Blower for picking up the Fast Qualifier award at Elko and came up .002 seconds short of beating Jacob Goede at Madison.

Fredrickson will look at continuing his good start at the Kwik Trip Stores 100 on Saturday, May 17th at Jefferson Speedway.

Kyle Busch will join Matt Kenseth and his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Tony Stewart, in the fourth annual event.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Busch stated this past Sunday where he finished third in the ECHO Chainsaw 100 ASA Midwest Tour event. “I think it will be a great race. I am looking forward to coming out and having fun with Matt and Tony. I meant to be up here last year, but I didn’t have a car ready. This year we got our stable built up a little bit and we will be ready to come back and have some fun.”

OREGON, WI (Sunday, May 04, 2008) – Dan Fredrickson will admit that he never had a good run at Madison International Speedway. After tonight, Madison is one of his favorite tracks as he captured the ASAMT ECHO Chainsaw 100 in front of a large crowd.

“I haven’t won here and never been real good here, but had a pretty sweet car here tonight,” a happy Fredrickson stated in victory lane. “I hope we can keep going with this, it was cool to beat Carlson and Busch. And now Madison is one of my favorite tracks.”

Fredrickson held off a late charge from Steve Carlson to take his fourth ASA Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment win. “The deal here is you can’t run pretty well with someone on your back bumper. But once I got two car lengths on him, I could run my line and run better.” Fredrickson stated.

OREGON, WI (Sunday, May 04, 2008) – Jeremy Miller and Michael Bilderback got the large crowd on hand at Madison International Speedway on their feet as the two put on a classic short track battle in the Big 8 Series presented by Gandrud Chevrolet feature event. At the checkers, it was the defending champion holding off the young pilot.

Bilderback led most of the 38-lap event, while Miller made a hard charge at the end. “I kinda used Mikey up there. He was pinching me on the bottom and I got a better run than him and he was slowing up, so I gave him a little nudge just to move him back where he belonged. It was a racing thing,” Miller described his last lap move as the two came out of turn two.

Bilderback wasn’t to upset with the move, “We started burning off our right rear, we were getting real loose off of the corner,” Bilderback stated. “He got into me a little bit, but you know its racing.”

I will be on Madison's ESPN Radio (1070 AM) from 11 am to noon today. Hope you can listen. Kevin
