Australian Kerry Madsen of New South Wales, Canadian Toni Lutar of British Columbia, and American Craig Dollansky of Minnesota are the latest trio of drivers to signal their intentions of competing in the thirteenth annual Factory Value Parts World Challenge at the Knoxville Raceway on Friday, August 11. All three have officially entered the Friday night finale during the 46th annual SuperClean Knoxville Sprint Car Nationals, presented by the Midwest Ford Dealers. According to Knoxville director of racing Ralph Capitani, “We are very pleased with the quality of the international competitors in the $10,000-to-win invitational this year. And I really want to thank our qualifying partners… Ohsweken Speedway in eastern Canada, Castrol Raceway in western Canada, Premier Speedway in Australia, Powerbuilt Speedway on the south island of New Zealand and Todd & Pollock Speedway on the north island of New Zealand.”

Madsen, a competitor on the National Sprint Tour (NST), wheels the David Helm-owned, Garrett-powered Maxim sprinter, which is sponsored by Quality Sound, VRP Shocks, Maxim and Shadow Graphics. Dollansky, a regular with the World of Outlaws (WoO), pilots the Karavan Motorsports-owned, Fisher-powered Maxim sprinter, which is sponsored by Karavan Trailers.
