This coming weekend sees the new era of the Australian Sprintcar Masters begin at Murray Machining & Sheds Murray Bridge Speedway. The event which was previously staged at Virginia for over 30 years, will take place over two nights of racing on Saturday March 9 & Sunday March 10.
Saturday March 9 will feature Night 1 of the Masters, with the 25-lap preliminary feature including the annual Ross Wright Memorial. The Masters Champion will then be decided on Sunday March 10 in 40 lap feature that will pay $15,000 to the winner.
31 nominations have been received for the event which includes new Australian Champion Lockie McHugh, and former champions Jock Goodyer (2023) and Marcus Dumesny (2022). Several other interstate competitors also join the field including Brock Hallett, Jordan Charge, Jy Corbet and Tim Hutchins. While flying the flag for the South Aussies will see regular campaigners such as Matt Egel, Ryan Jones, Luke Dillon, Brendan Quinn and Chad Ely.
Wingless Sprints will also be in action for their annual marathon event – the Wingless Sprints 60 Lapper on March 9, with a Street Stocks Invitational providing the support action on March 10.
Canteen, food truck and bar facilities are available on the night.
