BRENDAN MILLER THE VICTORIAN SPORTS SEDAN SERIES CHAMPION

BRENDAN MILLER THE VICTORIAN SPORTS SEDAN SERIES CHAMPION 

The inaugural Victorian Sports Sedan Series was recently wrapped at Rosedale Speedway when 

Pakenham based driver Brendan Miller went on to win his fourth series final out of five, the other 

that he didn’t win, he didn’t attend!

With wins at Wahgunyah, Wangaratta & Rushworth notched up Miller headed to the most local 

track for him in the series expecting to compete against Rhys Collins. Unfortunately a final round 

battle was not possible as Collins competed at Wahgunyah on the weekend of the final round trying 

to consolidate his position in another series.

Supported by Rosedale Panels, the Rosedale events were run over two nights culminating in the 

feature on the second night being the deciding result of the weekend. 

Six heat races over the weekend were almost all dominated by the Miller brothers Brendan & 

Damien.

Brendan won the first of the weekend over Moon & Matt Nelson & then switch Moon & Nelson 

around and the same result for Miller in the second heat.

Nelson & Miller traded places in a great heat for the third before Miller was penalised at race 

conclusion for passing under the pole line dropping him out of the top three results for the first time 

in the night. Moon & William’s took the second & third place positions.

On night two Damien Miller joined the show & began by winning the first heat by passing his little 

brother Brendan on lap six of eight to take the lead & the win ahead of brother & Sam Williams.

Heat two on night two would see Damien be penalised for passing under the pole line, passing his 

brother on the final lap before being shuffled back a spot to give the win to Brendan with Williams in 

third.

The Miller brothers were at it again in the third and final heat of night two with Damien this time 

taking a win cleanly in the officials’ eyes over his brother & Moon.

Brendan Miller then outclassed Sam Williams, Tania Paull, Ben Moon & Mark Pollard in the 

‘Rosedale Panels Round five’ final at Rosedale to close out the series with another win.

Over the five rounds the top five on points was Brendan Miller, Rhys Collins, Matt Ridd, Tim 

McPherson & Mark Pollard / Aaron Marshall equal on points for fifth.

Series organiser Pollard was the only competitor in the top five to be able to make it to all rounds & 

can see some great potential in the series if the drivers chip in. “We had a reasonable field at 

Wahgunyah that dropped away a little for the next day at Mount Beauty, before a massive forty cars 

showed at Wangaratta. There is a lot going on for Sports Sedans & I’ll have a look at what we might 

do to build on this in the coming weeks.”

Brendan Miller was chuffed to win the first ever state Sports Sedan Series. “We just love racing & 

when things went our way at Wangaratta & we were close to the series lead despite missing Mount 

Beauty, we decided to give it a crack & get over to Rushworth. I’d like to acknowledge Polly for 

putting on the series & the people that supported the series & thank my own family, crew & 

sponsors for helping me out along the way.”
