Ryan Newton became the latest interstate invader to join the list of Sprintcar feature race winners at Eastern Creek Speedway when the young Queenslander blitzed the field to win round 13 of the ECR Track Championship on Saturday night (March 18). Newton started on the inside of row four and used the highline to round up his rivals and negotiate lapped traffic, emerging with the lead on lap 21. Daniel Sayre enjoyed a brief stint at the front after deposing Lachlan Caunt from the lead on lap 18 but would ultimately have to settle for second, while a last-lap leap would see Sam Walsh round up both Caunt and Aaron Kelly to snatch third. Warren Ferguson, Luke Stirton and Kaiden Brown were next in line, with Zac Pacchiarotta and Ben Atkinson rounding out the top ten.

Sam Walsh proved a popular winner when he chased down former national champ Marcus Dumesny to take out round 13 of the 2022/2023 Sprintcar Track Championship at Eastern Creek Speedway on Saturday night (March 11). When Walsh swept past Dumesny to assume the lead with nine laps remaining, Walsh became the third different driver to lead the race, leaving Dumesny to fend off Kaidon Brown, who put his Australian Midget Championship disappointment behind him with a strong run into third. Brown moved ahead of Dumesny on more than one occasion but was unable to lock down the runner-up spot. Troy Little finished fourth without really threatening the leaders but still proved too quick for Daniel Sayre, Luke Stirton and Michael Saller, with Jordyn Brazier, Zac Pacchiarotta and Jessie Attard completing the top ten.

Already widely regarded as one of the leading Midget drivers in the country, Michael Stewart has wasted little time in establishing himself as a force amongst the Sprintcar set, racing to victory in round 11 of the Track Championship Series at Eastern Creek Speedway on Saturday night (February 11). Stewart trailed Michael Saller through the early going before slipping into the lead on lap 14 to secure his maiden Sprintcar feature race success. On a frantic final lap, Warren Ferguson stormed into second spot with a pass on Michael Saller as Kyle Mock, having posted the fastest lap of the race on the previous circulation, snatched fourth from Aaron Kelly. Rebounding from a spin on the opening lap, Kaidon Brown salvaged sixth, with Daniel Sayre, Jimmy Matchett, Troy Little and Blake Skipper rounding out the top ten.

He hasn’t raced in Sydney since November, but that certainly didn’t hinder Matt Dumesny in any way, as he led all 30 laps of the feature race on Saturday night at Valvoline Raceway to record his second victory of the 2019-20 season.
