Dubbo hosts Sprintcar Club Championships

SPRINT Cars returned to Dubbo for the 3rd Round of NSW Sprintcar Club Championship with over 100 cars across all categories.

Club Secretary / Registrar Ian Boland says the high numbers represented clubs from right across the state.

“The event attracted cars from all over NSW, which was not only great for our club but also for Dubbo as a whole given that many people stayed in town and spent time and money locally,” he said.

A crowd of more than 1800 people was treated to a night of great racing with more than 30 events run in fine but warm conditions.

“The Central West is home to the some of the very best racers in the state and nation and our drivers performed extremely well across all categories,” Ian said.

In the main event, Round 3 of the Sprintcars, Sydney Ace Ian Madsen took home the honours.

“Madsen has returned to Australia after spending a number of seasons living and racing in America, competing in the World of Outlaws Series. It was terrific to see him battling it out with Jackson Delamont (Young) in second place and Micael Saller third.”

Veteran Dubbo Racer Mark Blyton claimed victory in the wingless sprints, followed by Delamont and Troy Carey from Tullamore.

“Earlier in the night, Gulargambone's Andrew Smith and Dubbo's Marshall Blyton claimed heat race wins while the Production feature race was won by Chris Blyton from Dubbo.”

Sharing the podium spots around, Cullen Bullen's Jayden Healy was second behind Blyton and Danny Harrison third.”
