KWINANA BEACH, W.A. (January 9, 2026) — Dayne Kingshott took advantage of two drivers colliding in front of him to drive from third to first in a single corner in route to the feature victory Friday night at Perth Motorplex during USA vs WA Speedweek.

Kingshott, from Bunbury, Western Australia, was running in third position when Callum Williamson and Kaiden Manders were racing for the lead through lapped traffic. Williamson and Manders made contact in turn four and allowed Kingshott to go from third to first halfway through the 30-lap main event.

Kingshott then held on through multiple restarts for his first win of the 2026 calendar year.

Williams was second with Kerry Madsen charging from sixth to round out the podium.

Defending Australian Sprint Car title winner James McFadden was fourth while Manders rounded out the top five.

Matthew Iwanow won the Wingless V6 Sprint Car main event.
