Bunbury Speedway season to start with Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series LJM Sprintcar Grand Prix

Bunbury Speedway’s new season will get under way on Saturday night by hosting the Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series for the LJM Sprintcar Grand Prix. After initially being slated to start on November 2 before the first event of the season was cancelled only days in advance, this week’s event is the first on a revised 10-night calendar. Bunbury’s Krikke Motorsport team has made a fine start to the Sprintcar Series season, with defending champion driver Dayne Kingshott starting the new season with two wins in the first three rounds to sit on top of the championship standings. After starting his championship defence with a fifth-placed finish in the first round of the season, Kingshott has won the two rounds since, dominating round two’s feature race from start to finish and backing up with a win in the King of Wings in round three. Last year’s LJM Sprintcar Grand Prix winner and South West stalwart Brad Maiolo, who sits fourth in the standings, also shapes as a strong contender in a 23-driver field which will compete for a $30,000 prize pool. As well as the Sprintcar Series, the night will also see the SAWA Sprintcar Series, Speedcars Bullring Showdown and Wingless Sprint South West Slam action. Bunbury will also host rounds of the Sprintcar Series on January 1 and January 4.
