AVALON, Vic. (January 17, 2018) – Robbie Farr capitalized on James McFadden’s misfortune to start off the biggest week for sprint car racing in Australia in victory lane winning the President’s Cup Wednesday night at Avalon Raceway.

McFadden raced to the lead and was dominating the feature event before tangling with a lapped car, handing the lead to far for a green/white/checkered finish. Farr was immediately under siege by American driver Terry McCarl, who took the lead on the restart. Farr would not be denied though passing McCarl back for the lead before driving away to the victory.

McCarl held the runner up spot at the finish with Corey McCullagh, Brooke Tatnell, and Jamie Veal rounded out the top five.
