GRANVILLE, NSW (January 4, 2020) — Cory Eliason was victorious in his first appearance at Valvoline Raceway Saturday during Ultimate Sydney Speedweek. Eliason was able to sweep past Carson Macedo and Reutzel for the lead on lap 18. With two laps to go Eliason was held up by slower traffic and allowed Reutzel to quickly close. On the final lap Reutzel got a run down the backstretch, but Eliason was able to hold on as Reutzel slipped off the backstretch for the victory. Reutzel held on for second while Carson Macedo, Brad Sweet, and Robbie Farr rounded out a top five where the top four positions were held by American drivers.
