Third Classic title for McFadden
SPRINTCAR superstar James McFadden has won his third Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic.
In front of a full-house at Warrnambool’s Premier Speedway on Sunday night, McFadden dominated the race to take the chequered flag ahead of Corey Eliason with local Jamie Veal in third.
Rounding out the top 10 finishers were Queenslander Brock Hallett in fourth, followed by Jock Goodyer, Jordyn Charge, Garet Williamson, Cole Macedo, Matt Dumesny and Kerry Madsen.
The 52nd annual running of the Classic once again brought huge crowds to Premier Speedway over the three days and injected welcome dollars into the local economy.
While the action was hot on the track, off the track race enthusiasts of all ages were kept well entertained on all three nights, with children’s games and activities, and live music before engine starts.
McFadden and his team were also presented with the Ian Sheppard Memorial Award while Cole Macedo went home with the Hard Charger Award, Lachlan McHugh the Hard Luck Award and Garrett Williamson was the named the ‘Classic’ rookie..
