Boileau Wins Another $10,000 Check As Bandits Rock Madison
MADISON, Wis., Aug. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Once a rookie with no oval experience, Tommy Boileau (#16) is starting to look like a veteran with a nose for the championship.
Boileau looked dominant at times Friday night, as the Colorado native took the checkered flag in the Minimizer Bandit Big Rig Series feature race at Madison International Speedway.
"Just an incredible race," Boileau said. "Wisconsin has always been good to me. This was an absolute blast."
A sold-out crowd saw Boileau earn his second straight win, as well as the $10,000 winner's check, with the biggest challenge coming from Ricky Rude (#14) and Mike Morgan (#88).
Rude and Morgan, one-two in the standings entering Friday, got tangled up trying to catch Boileau during the feature race and had to call it a night earlier than either would have liked.
"As much as I hate to say it, that was simply a racing incident," Bandit Director of Operations Brian Madsen said. "We had two hard-nosed Bandits fighting for the same spot and it ended up being a spectacular wreck."
Rude and Morgan's wreck also took out Tyler Kruckeberg (#54), whose truck got caught in the oil from Morgan's truck.
Tyler's father, Craig Kruckeberg (#55), secured his first-ever top five finish, placing fourth. Allen Boles (#3) and Justin Ball (#17) squeezed between Boileau and Kruckeberg in second and third, respectively.
"I am really impressed with how our guys took the high banks at Madison International Speedway, considering it's the fastest track we'll see this year," Madsen said. "They took to it like Bandits to cash."
It's a short turnaround for the Bandits, who now turn their attention towards a race at I-44 Speedway in Lebanon, Missouri. That event is Saturday, August 5th.
