For the third time in as many race meetings, Danny Reidy has walked away with a topโfive result. On this occasion, it took place during the third round of the KRE Sprintcar Series at Brisbaneโs Archerfield Speedway last Saturday night.
After fifth and second place finishes in the opening two rounds of the KRE Series, Reidy finished just off the podium in fourth on the weekend. He had maintained third for the majority of the feature race up until he was passed on the inside in the closing stages of the 30โlap event which denied him of a spot on the podium.
โWe were looking good there for another podium result, but (Andrew) Scheuerle got me in the end, which was disappointing to miss out,โ explained the NQ # 5 Desert Palms Resort โ Alice Springs supported J&J driver. โOn the positive side of things, weโve managed to finish inside the top five in every outing this season, so Iโm hoping that we can continue our consistent form. It certainly makes life a lot easier and more enjoyable for our team when weโre able to roll the car back into the truck after every race meeting without any damage.โ
Earlier in the night, Reidy posted the third fastest lap in qualifying and then ran seventh and third, from the rear of the field on both occasions, in his two heat races. Heading into the topโsix dash, he was second highest on points and drew a position four start. In the dash, he finished in third and it gave him his inside second row start for the feature race.
This Saturday night (November 10) is Reidyโs next appearance which will be the fourth round of the KRE Series at Archerfield Speedway.
Reidy would like to thank Desert Palms Resort – Alice Springs, Camden Neon Signs, P&M Motor Body Repairs, Gonzoโs Race Pipes and Inglis Race Engines for all of their 2012โ13 season support.
