In an epic 35-lap feature race at Eastern Creek Speedway on Saturday night (April 1), Marcus Dumesny created history when he joined his father and brother as a winner of the New South Wales Sprintcar Championship. In a drive reminiscent of his national title win in Brisbane last season, Dumesny started from row five and was clinical in his advance through the field, chasing down current Australian champ Jock Goodyer and Grand Annual Classic winner Brock Hallett to hit the front with 10 laps remaining. Goodyer went back to the front momentarily following a final restart with eight laps to run, but Dumesny was not to be denied, sliding back under Goodyer through turn two to reclaim the lead to clinch a memorable win. Having led for much of the running, Hallett regained one spot late in proceedings to push Goodyer back to third, with Queensland young gun Jy Corbet flying into fourth ahead of Luke Stirton, Lachlan Caunt, Randy Morgan, Aaron Kelly, Kaidon Brown and Michael Stewart.
