Kicking Up The Dirt Sunday   May 9, 2010. Joanne White With the end of the season now within sight, and only a couple of rounds of the Queensland Speedway Spares Sprintcar Series to go, twenty-six Sprintcars rolled into Brisbane International Speedway last night for a no-holds-barred Round 9. Peter Thorley entered the night with a slim points lead, but after suffering engine issues in the #51 Tyrepower racer and being unable to take part in the A-Main, the points battle has really started to boil. The star of the night however was Danny ‘Rockstar’ Reidy who was clearly a class above most of his competitors and determined to go one better than his second place at the 2010 Queensland Sprintcar Title last weekend. Reidy took the win in last night’s A-Main event with Darrell Hodges crossing the line in second ahead of Todd Wanless and Richard Morgan with Kevin Titman rounding out the top five.

Kicking Up The Dirt – 2010 Qld Title Finale Sunday   May 2, 2010. Joanne White It promised to be a thrilling show, full of action, excitement, brilliance and frustration – and it did not disappoint. The final night of competition in the 2010 Queensland Sprintcar Title had everything a good race does – a couple of favourites, a few surprises, some unexpected fortunes and several racing lines that amounted to one of the most intensely contested Sprintcar events seen in South–East Queensland in recent years. Brisbane International Speedway played host to the event, but it was East Coast Pipelines racer Robbie Farr who eventually took the win, and the Title, with Danny Reidy, having led the first 30 laps of the race, across the line in second ahead of Todd Wanless, Bryan Mann and Allan Woods.

With some big names in the field, and at least a dozen drivers with a serious shot at Title honours, there was never any doubt it would be a no-holds-barred night of fierce racing action. Early favourite and defending Champion James McFadden recorded the fastest qualifying time, but it was Robbie Farr who took out the preliminary A-Main, with Danny Reidy in second, McFadden in third and Todd Wanless and Darrell Hodges completing the top five.

Kicking Up The Dirt Sunday   April 18, 2010. Joanne White There is no denying that James McFadden is one of the of the biggest rising stars of Sprintcar racing in Australia and last night at Brisbane International Speedway he showed everyone, once again, why. James was brilliant around the highline and slowly worked his way into the race lead, much to the delight of the large crowd in attendance, after initially fading to seventh after the start. Andrew Scheuerle, wrist still strapped after suffering an injury in Maryborough over Easter, crossed the line in second ahead of Todd Wanless. Peter Thorley, back after a belated honeymoon in America, came from the B-Main to finish a very impressive fourth with Darrell Hodges rounding out the top five.

James McFadden did not finish last night’s main event, but had managed to secure enough points across the weekend to be crowned the 2010 Easter Tri-City Sprintcar Shootout Champion, with Todd Wanless and Cameron Gessner rounding out the top three of the weekend. Unfortunately for James (and everyone involved with Sprintcars Queensland) his win was soured by the knowledge his close friend David Muir was in hospital after being involved in what was young ‘Blingy’s second big crash of the night.
