From Premier Speedway
Warrnambool, AU — (January 26, 2015) — Brooke Tatnell tamed the high banks of Sungold Stadium, Premier Speedway, Warrnambool to claim night one honors in what was a non-stop 30 lap feature event on night one of the 43rd Lucas Oil Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic.
The three time Classic Champion started from position three behind pole sitter Ian Madsen and Tasmanian young gun Callum Zizek who gave car owner Darren Goodyer a two pronged front row assault in a dream result.
It wasn’t long though before Tatnell asserted his authority as the moves further back in the pack began to play out.
Ian Loudoun having started from position seven , Darren Mollenoyux from eight and Jamie Veal from position 17 were slicing their way forward as Tatnell went about taking care of business at the front of the pack.
Ian Madsen’s stellar night one run was also continuing as the pole sitter ran strongly throughout the 30-lap journey, holding down second place as Loudoun made his way inside the top three.
There would be no stopping Tatnell aboard the Krikke Motorsport Cool Chassis, as he powered to a fourth Oval Express Magazine Australia America Challenge Cup win.
At the drop of the checkers it would be Tatnell taking out night one, from the current Knoxville Raceway Track Champion – Ian Madsen with Ian Loudoun home in third, doing popular Geelong based car owner David Dickson proud with a podium finish.
The top five was completed by Darren Mollenoyux while Jamie Veal again impressed at his home track with a fifth place finish, salvaging something from a night that required a transfer from the B-Main.
Sixth would be Daniel Pestka who was followed home by Robbie Farr, Lucas Wolfe and Trevor Green with Tim Rankin rounding out the top ten.
Livewire American Christopher Bell fought his way to an 11th place finish ahead of Callum Zizek, Terry McCarl, Brad Sweet, Jackson Delamont, Bradley Keller, Danny Holtgraver, Chad Ely and B-Main transferees John Vogels and Jamie Hennessy.
Earlier in the night Robbie Farr set quick time in qualifying to earn himself an extra $1000.00 and a shot at taking out the prestigious Alan Pollard Memorial.
Heat wins then went the way of Farr, Terry McCarl, Tatnell, Daniel Pestka, Ian Madsen, Matthew Dumesny, Danny Holtgraver, Darren Mollenoyux, Brendan Balcombe and Trevor Green.
The night was marred by an injury to Tim Kaeding who was transferred to hospital as a precaution following a heat race incident.
