• After what seems like one of the longest breaks in competition for quite some time, Sprintcars return to Ausdeck Patios Archerfield Speedway this Saturday night (March 7) for round 11 of the Supercheap Auto Track Championship. It has been six weeks since Sprintcars attacked the Archerfield clay and both drivers and fans are no doubt primed for a big night of competition from a typically strong field of dirt track daredevils. In what is shaping as a feast of open wheel competition, the Polar Ice Midget Series is also on the card, along with Formula 500’s, Compact Speedcars and Lightning Sprints.

    Most of the usual suspects are amongst the Sprintcar nominations, including current championship protagonists young gun Luke Oldfield and veteran racer Andrew Scheuerle. Over the last few weeks, Scheuerle has recorded feature race wins at Toowoomba and Kingaroy, while Oldfield has been unable to replicate the results he has produced here at Archerfield that have put him in such a strong position in the track championship fight. Both drivers are proven race winners and whilst their battle will be a fascinating element of the night’s competition, there are 25 other drivers who will be doing their utmost to make their own mark on the championship.

    Whilst Bryan Mann has featured on the podium several times this season, he hasn’t yet been able to produce the level of consistency needed to make a serious run for the championship lead. However, with plenty of rounds still remaining, if he can maximise every opportunity that comes his way and secure a feature race win (or two), then he will very much zoom into contention and there is no better time to start such a surge than this Saturday night.

    Tasmania’s Jamie Bricknell returns to the Titan Garages #36 this weekend after stepping aside to make way for American Danny Holtgraver. Others who have shown glimpses of great form include the likes of Kevin Titman, Brent Kratzmann and Mick Sauer, all of whom have been feature race front runners at various stages of the season. If they can reproduce their best form, they will feature somewhere near the front of the field.

    Also nominated for this event are Brock Dean, Dan Murray, Brandon Rawlings, Ben Hilder, Melissa Boyes, Andrew Leibke, Dan Moes, David Whell, Richard Morgan, Kristy Bonsey, Dave Fanning, Mark Pholi, Tony Michelle, Mitchell Gee, Steve Greer, Steven Johnson, Anthony Lambert, Cairns veteran Mike Walsh, current Bathurst 1000 champion Paul Morris and 16-year-old rookie Callum Walker, who will be making his Sprintcar debut.

    A solid line-up of 20 cars will contest the Polar Ice Midget Series with everybody gunning for defending champion and current series leader Michael Kendall. Unfortunatley Adam Clarke is a late withdrawal, however others worth watching include Darren Vine, a feature winner already this season, along with Scott Wilson, Brett Thomas, Michael Harders, Troy Ware and Mark George.

    The Formula 500’s have again produced a quality field which includes Kristin Brown, Charlie Brown, Billy Foyle, Nathan Pronger and Dale Shilletto, all of whom have scored feature race wins this season. Kaydon Iverson, Cody Maroske and Brooke Wanless are also potential winners, setting the scene for what may well be the closest contest of the night.

    Compact Speedcars and Lightning Sprints complete the all open wheel program, which gets underway with pre-program events from 4:45pm. The main program will get underway at 6:00pm.
