Keller Auto Speedway, Saturday night, was the scene of the King of Thunder Series where, in the night’s fourth race, a talented Carson Macedo, in his Winged 360 Sprint Car, won the 30-lap main event, despite a having a strong field up against him.

Winged 360 Sprint Cars filled the pits Saturday night, but when the checkered flag finally came down, Macedo was out front. Macedo becomes the fourth different winner in the four races held so far. Macedo is off to a strong start. He also won the World of Outlaw victory at Silver Dollar Speedway in March.

Twenty-six competitors made Macedo’s task more difficult and just making it into the feature was a challenge. The other two heat races went to Dominic Scelzi who finished just ahead of Cole Macedo and Collin Markle.
Brooklyn Holland scored a big win in the 25-lap IMCA Race Saver 305 Sprint Car class. Holland has been knocking on the door for some time and has finished as high as second. Her previous start was a disappointing eighth-place finish, but Holland gave indication early on that this was going to be her night when she held off recent Merced Speedway winner Grant Champlin to win their eight-lap heat race.
