Whats the story with him? Is he just a "arrow without feathers?" The Swindell family is always taking jabs at him on Twitter and so forth, but they bitch about everything so I don't know what to think of it. I have been to a few races this year but havent witnessed anything personally.

I remember the Madsen/Gravel incident at Eldora but I am not convinced that wasn't more of David's fault than Kerry's. I also remember Madsen/Pittman tangling for the lead at Farmer City but I didn't see it well enough to have judgement.

We all know whatever happened isn't Sammy's fault. I guess Kerry just needs to lay down for him? Who knows, maybe one day he will learn.

Just curious as I keep reading this stuff but don't know what to make of it.

I saw the latest tweet from the Swindell's after Kerry retweeted it. That right there is funny if you ask me!!!

As a Madsen fan, there is really no denying that he does have his troubles keeping it on all 4 wheels at times. I like to call it a whole lot of bad luck. I'm pretty sure every driver causes a wreck every once in awhile. Some of them Kerry causes, some of them he gets caught up in, and others are just fluke ordeals. Maybe you can call him a gasser and that explains it. Possibly he is just another one of those checker or wrecker type of drivers. I'm a little bias, but I think he has been doing a great job this year. He has a couple of wins and seems to be finishing more than in years past. It's really no surprise that the Swindell's are taking jabs and pushing the blame on someone else.

It's totally fine for the Swindell's to point fingers cause, you know, they've never caused any problems before (rolls eyes).

That being said, I'm still a huge fan of all parties invloved.

"They'll learn." 

What happened between Swindell and Madsen?

Last night at Beaver Dam, early in the A, they got together while racing for second place. Both spun and had to restart at the back. Looks like Kerry is getting the blame dumped on him by the Swindell clan.

"They'll learn." 

Screw Sammy, like when he was in Bellville and cut across 2 lines of traffic on the start and it was all okay because everybody scattered. Sammy gets pissed when people stand their ground and he bumps them and gets the worst end of the deal. Thats Funny SHIT. Sammy is dangerous on starts, runs peole over or gets pissed trying.

I recently kept a light observation about Madsen to myself, Is he just full of bad luck? is he just in the wrong place often? one ,twice? I mean, what is it? sometimes drivers attract to trouble with inasince, but, is that his case? I guess Id have to start believing he makes his destiny, just maybe not the most controlled and presice driver, there is a 20 ft zone around him one should try stay away from .. entertaining ? yes, but getting hard on equipment and making enimies on track ? yes! I hopefully he can clean up his style and he just might be a force on full tilt with no DNF or wreckers to others also , Jac is the only man that comes to mind that I cannot believe putting a car on its edge and keeping it rolling, very rarely did I see Jac pile up stuff as frequent as Madman,nothing wrong with that style of driving , it works for some , you make your bed you have to lay in it , thats all , JMO Im no Sammy fan either BTW, I like them all.

Go Sammy!

Was sitting right at turn one where the incident happened. Sammy did get into the back of him. I don't know if Madsen broke free and had to check up? My feelings? The only way they were going to make it through the corner was for both drivers not to hiccup. They were pretty close to each other. Either Sammy got in too hot or Madsen bobbled. No way to tell. 50/50.

As far as the twitter crap, that is all just a head game between the drivers and makes for good entertainment.

Since you were there, would you mind filling me in on what exactly happened? From what I gathered from your post, Madsen had second and Sammy was trying to pass him? They were obviously racing pretty close? I appreciate the info... I don't like trying to defend somebody solely off of info I have from twitter or from guys on here that weren't even there.

They had a replay on the NASCAR Dave Despain show last night. Looked like Sammy hit his tail tank to me to start the spin. I do like Madsen, and don't like whiners, so others may have a different opinion.

Tom173 pretty much summed it up. They were running nose to tail at the very bottom of the track. Happened at the apex of the corner. Right when Madsen's tail "kicked" out on him, Sammy drove into the left side of the tank. Was just a very slight bobble. Not surprised that both of them are pointing fingers. That's why I say 50/50. If I had a like/dislike for either driver, I would point in the appropriate direction. They were pretty much driving around the bottom of the track, not sliding through it. So the fact that Madsen got hit on the side of the car means to me he broke free a little bit, but I am not surprised both of them are pissed at the other.

Thanks for the info guys! Hopefully I will be able to catch a replay or something

I obviously want to say that Sammy got into Madsen to cause it. But lets just call it a racing deal! Yes Madsen has his troubles, but I don't think you can blame this one completely on him. Either way, I think calling Madsen a no talent driver is a little far-fetched. The guy has more talent than any of us on here... and I think he definitely deserves to be racing with the Outlaws. Just my biased opinion!

I'm with you on the "whiner" issue. It's pretty clear that Glad Brad likes whiners....

We're whining all the way to the winner's circle...

Go Sammy!

We're whining all the way to the whiner's circle...

I couldn't help but notice you had a typo, so I took the liberty of correcting it for you. No need to thank me, I'm just trying to be helpful!!! :D

Ooooh! I like that one....
