Sprintcars are gearing up to invade the Make Smoking History Bunbury Speedway next weekend for the Auto One Sprintcar Grand Slam.

With drivers having this weekend off after a demanding start to the season, all drivers will be set and ready to hit the Bunbury clayway.

Leading the charge after four rounds is Myalup’s own Brad Maiolo, who sits comfortably on the top step after already playing his “joker” round in the opening rounds, giving him double points on the night’s action.

Brad’s older brother Jamie is not far behind in third place in the standings, although he still has not played his double points round just yet, and has won two of the previous rounds.

Last year’s series champion Jason Kendrick finished just 0.299 seconds behind Jamie at the King of Wings event held at the Perth Motorplex at the weekend and is another driver who is set to figure prominently in the pointy end of the field as he looks to score his first series round win for this season.

Also on the cards is round six of the Keen Quip Wingless Sprint Club Championship, with local driver Chad Pittard looking to continue his good run of form in Bunbury having won a Wingless Sprint event last season at the venue.

The Bunbury Car Club is also proud to announce that entry for the December 1 event will be just $25 for adults, while children14 and under will get in for free when accompanied by an adult.
