Super Sunday at Premier
KALEB Currie has taken out the final round of Pro Speedcar Week, taking the chequered flag at Warrnambool’s Premier Speedway last weekend.
While crowd numbers may have been down a little, those who spent last Sunday night trackside were treated to some great racing.
With over 100 cars competing across various divisions, the fields contained a host of interstate drivers who were keen to do battle against the Victorians, with series finals for both the Speedcars and Wingless Sprints on the program.
Sunday’s Pro Speedcar Week round saw Currie take the win ahead of second-placed Dylan Menz with Luke Storer finishing third.
Wingless Sprints Summer Slam Series round results saw Tyson Martin take the win on Sunday, followed by Kirby Hillyer in second and Ryan Furler third.
Super Sedans driver Brock Atkins also took the win in his division, with Trent Wilson second and Callum Harper third.
Action will return to the Premier Speedway track on Sunday, January 19 for the ARB Warrnambool International Sprintcar Carnival.
With a fourth-placed finish in the 35 lap A-Main, McHugh ended his Speedweek campaign with a top five finish in all five events (including two wins, a fifth, a second and a fourth).
But it was Warrnambool local Jamie Veal’s time to shine at the Bool on January 1, taking the chequered flag in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Premier for the fifth and final round of Sprintcar Speedweek.
In what was a night of thrills and spills, Veal raced his new Maxim chassis across the line, leading home impressive newcomer Jordan Rae in second and Missouri’s Garet Williamson third.
Veal was forced to bolt a new Maxim together after destroying a car in the A-Main at Avalon.
He came from the second row of the grid in what was an impressive display of driving to take the flag.
The top 10 finishes in the A-Main were: Veal, Rae, Williamson, McHugh, Marcus Dumesny, Ryan Jones, Jack Lee, Brendan Quinn, Brendan Guerin and Jordyn Charge.
