An Inpressive A Main front row of drivers at recent Eureka Series round at Premier Speedway will be like this again on Sunday Night?
The Penultimate Round of the Eureka Series Heads to Premier
Author : Ian Vale
Sunday the 13th of March will see the penultimate round of the 2015-2016 Eureka Garages & Sheds Sprintcar Series conducted at Premier Speedway where the current Series point leader Brett Milburn could claim him first Eureka Series Championship.
This round of the Eureka Series has attracted a massive field with drivers from every state and territory in the country on hand with sixty six nominations received that include Eureka Series Champions, Australian and World Series Champions and many state Champions.
Why has the event attracted so many drivers you may ask, well for a variety of reasons other than there is some forty plus drivers that are regular Eureka Garages & Sheds Series drivers that are battling it out to be in the top twenty of the Series in the points heading into the final round of the Series.
Now add the $5,000 to win on the night which adds more incentive plus the local track points score sponsored by Parr Motorsports at the end of season, $10,000 pay day, then this round of the Eureka Garages & Sheds Series also doubles as round two of the Parramatta USC Series, to top all that the Sprintcar Control Council of Australia and SRA of Vic inc is conducting the Australian 360 Sprintcar Champions at Mt Gambier on the Friday and Saturday nights prior to this event and many of the drivers that have made the trip from interstate for that event have chosen to stay on for a third night of racing action.
It is a who’s who of the best, Max Dumesny John Vogels, James McFadden, Darren Mollenoyux, Luke Dillon, Ben Atkinson, Brett Milburn, Robbie Farr, the 2016 Classic winner Jamie Veal, Shaun Dobson, Grant Anderson, Ian Loudoun, David Murcott and Steven Lines is hoping to be back fresh from his Krikke Boys race win last weekend, this goes on.
With the likely hood of Brett Milburn wrapping up the Eureka Garages and Sheds Series by just finishing in front of his nearest rival Corey McCullagh on the night that should give him the Championship but the battle between the next nine drivers is on with only seven hundred points and two round of the Series to be completed it is still an open affair.
The Battle to finish in the top ten is very important for chance to win the KTM Motorbike at the end of the Series and a major share of the prize poole money but the minor placing’s 2nd and 3rd is on in earnest between Corey McCullagh, Darren Mollenoyux, Jye Okeeffe and Shaun Dobson.
With over a $40,000 points fund monies going out to the top fifteen drivers that meet the criteria the drivers that finish between 11th and 20th are in with a chance of taking some of that money and the chance for the luxury Port Douglas trip thanks to Essendon Ford.
Again there is only three hundred and ten points separating these drivers where some drivers can advance to the top ten and others sitting outside the twenty can still make it in.
To Pick a winner for this round of the Eureka Series is a tough call or just qualify for the Eureka Garages and Sheds A Main will be a feat in itself. The ten heat race will be done with a random draw for this round of the Series which should present some very hard close racing on the night before that all important Main events.
