Record Numbers?
The Wingless Sprints take centre stage Friday night at the Perth Motorplex as part of the Sprintcar Speedweek finale, with the class continuing its strong momentum ahead of the Australian Wingless Sprint Title to be held at the venue later this season.
That momentum is clearly reflected in the numbers, with close to forty competitors nominating to race on the famous Kwinana Beach clay for what promises to be a highly competitive night of action. If all drivers show up, it will also be a new record field for the division.
Matthew Iwanow (Iwanow Motorsport) arrives at the Speedweek finale in outstanding form, leading the Perth Motorplex Track Championship after five nights of racing so far this season.
Iwanow sits on 811 points and holds a narrow 13-point advantage over second-placed Daran Humfrey (Humfrey Racing), while Brandon Sharpe (Sharpe Motorsport) is a further 26 points back in third.
Heydon Hicks (Hicks Racing ) and Blake Scarey (Scarey One Motorsports) complete the current top five in the Track Championship standings, highlighting just how tight the battle has been across the opening rounds.
Friday night’s event also doubles as Round Six of the Wingless Sprints Championship Series, adding even more importance to the night.
Once again, it is Iwanow who leads the way in the series standings, with Humfrey firmly in pursuit and Riley Phillips (Phillips Motorsport ) currently sitting third overall.
With strong fields at every round and minimal margins separating the front-runners, the championship remains wide open as the series heads deeper into the season.
The entry list for Friday night showcases both depth and diversity, featuring proven winners, rising talent and a strong core of regular Motorplex competitors.
As well as the aforementioned competitors, drivers such as Tommy Britton (Tommy Britton Motorsport), Ryan Mitchell (Mitchell Motorsport) and Brad Fitzgerald will all be looking to make a statement on one of the sport’s biggest stages, while the continued growth of the class is evident with competitors travelling from across the metropolitan area and regional centres including Vasse and Bunbury to be part of the show.
We also welcome back tonight reigning Track Champion Brendon Wedge (Wedge Motorsport). A multi time feature winner at the Motorplex, Wedge has been sidelined with health issues for the season so far, but will tonight make his triumphant return to the track and after a few laps to settle back into the seat, will surely return to his spectacular form.
With the Australian Wingless Sprint Title looming later in the season, every lap on the Perth Motorplex surface is proving invaluable.
This weekends racing will not only play a crucial role in both the Track Championship and the Championship Series, but also offer an important benchmark for teams as they fine-tune their programs ahead of the national event.
As part of the Speedweek finale, fans can expect fast, aggressive and entertaining racing from a near-capacity Wingless Sprint field.
With championships on the line and pride at stake, Friday night at the Perth Motorplex is shaping up as another key chapter in what has already been a strong and exciting season for the Wingless Sprints.
