Grand Finale Night… Alright!

By Jodie Bell

Speedway fans in-the-know, already have their tickets for this Saturday night at Supercheap Auto Archerfield Speedway; have you already bought yours? The only place to be is trackside as we cap off the 2013/14 season with the final rounds of the KRE Race Engines Sprintcar Series, the Polar Ice Midget Series and the Western Landscape Supplies/David Grose Real Estate Modlites Driver to America Series.

 

Fireworks and a hilarious, legendary Caravan, Boat and Dunny Race to top off what’s already a massive night of action. Twenty-eight Sprintcars will thunder around the clay way and after a rock-solid season, Toowoomba racer Andrew Scheuerle has another win wrapped up for the Ausdeck Patios and Roofing Team in the KRE series and the Queensland championship.

“We can go there this Saturday night, have a bit of fun and not worry about points; just race to win,” said Scheuerle, who has now claimed his fifth series win.

 

Luke Oldfield sealed his second place fate a fortnight ago when he crashed in the feature; ending any chance of catching Scheuerle’s lead but the battle for third is still on between Kevin Titman and Darren Jensen.

 

Australian Sprintcar champion Dave Murcott is flying in from Victoria to take on the confines of Archerfield and have one last crack at it this season… it’ll be on for young and old. 

 

Michael Kendall has complied a raft of point’s that that may see him cruise to victory in the Polar Ice Midget series. It’ll be back-to-back wins in this series for the five-time Kiwi Midget champion if he can get the job done.

 

Former Australian Super Sedan champion Darren Kane is making a guest appearance in the Jason Gray owned ‘Lucky 7’ car that Matt Smith has piloted to the podium recently.  Darren will join a quality field of Midget drivers that are sure to entertain.

 

The Modlites driver to America series is still wide open with double points up for grabs in the final round.  Two-time Australian Modlite champion Jamie McHugh leads Dylan Menz, Chris Ruane and Luke Whitehill; any of these four could take the win.  Lapped traffic could play a crucial role as numbers are well up in the Modlites – 27 of them will meet the green this weekend.

 

 A strong field of AMCA’s add to the mass of horsepower set to unleash along with the SSA Juniors as our future speedway champions take to the track for the final time this season.

 

Pit gates open at 3pm, spectator gates open at 4pm, there will be early racing from approximately 4.30pm and the main program commences at 6pm. Check www.brisbanespeedway.com.au for prices and check www.facebook.com/archerfieldspeedway for updates.
