TAZEWELL, Tenn. (July 26) — Leading all 53 laps at Tazewell Speedway, Chris Madden of Gray Court, S.C., wrapped up his second consecutive O'Reilly Southern Nationals championship. Madden's series-leading fifth victory boosted him to the title worth $5,353 over Dennis Franklin, a three-race winner on the series who was fifth at Tazewell. | Slideshow

Madden started outside the front row at the high-banked Tazewell and got the jump on polesitter Ronny Lee Hollingsworth of Northport, Ala., Madden was never headed throughout the race as he crossed the finish line ahead of Tommy Kerr of Maryville, Tenn., the previous night's series winner in Bulls Gap, Tenn. Vic Hill of Greeneville, Tenn., was third followed by Billy Ogle Jr. of Knoxville, Tenn. Franklin started seventh and finished fifth but fell short of gaining enough positions to beat Madden for the series crown. Hollingsworth ended up 14th.
