Kicking Up The Dirt Sunday   May 13, 2012. Joanne White Twenty-Six Sprintcars rocked up to SuperCheap Auto Archerfield Speedway last night, with not a cloud in sight, for Round 13 of the KRE Sprintcar Series. With only three rounds, including last night’s, left to run, the points battle for championship honours has really started to heat up between current leader and series favourite Bryan Mann, and his nearest rivals David Muir and Andrew Scheuerle. By the time the final chequered flag flew last night, Andrew Scheuerle, who took the win after starting from pole position, had accumulated an impressive points tally to add to his name and edged himself closer to the series lead. Both Muir and Mann put in strong, consistent performances, something both have become good at, finishing fifth and seventh respectively. Andrew Scheuerle took the win, with James McFadden, who really put the pressure on Scheuerle for the last half of the race, across the line in second and Danny Reidy securing another strong podium finish in third. Garry Brazier crossed the line in fourth with David Muir rounding out the top five.

Justin Smith - R.i.p. Sunday   April 29, 2012. Sprintcars Queensland Sprintcars Queensland is extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Justin Smith NQ51 from Cairns last Tuesday. Justin had just turned 32 and had been down with us at Easter helping Gary Finglas compete at our Tri-City Shootout. While Justin had not competed that much with us at our club events in the South East he was still part of our Queensland Sprintcar Family and will be sorely missed by many. This club extends its deepest sympathies to Justin’s parents and family and the North Queensland sprintcar fraternity who are all in deep shock at the moment.

Kicking Up The Dirt Sunday   April 22, 2012. Joanne White Cameron Gessner secured his maiden Queensland Sprintcar Title win at Supercheap Auto Archerfield Speedway last night, in an incident-plagued 35-lap feature event. Young gun James McFadden certainly made him work for the win, keeping the pressure on and even momentarily stealing the lead on several occasions. Danny Reidy was in magnificent form early in the race, posing the biggest threat to Gessners’ lead and holding down second with McFadden right on his tail. Mechanical failure in the front end of the NT5 racer however brought about an early end to Reidy’s race, exiting the race after only nine laps. Cameron Gessner drove a superb race to hold off the advance of both Reidy and McFadden, taking the win and the 2012 Queensland Sprintcar Tile. James McFadden crossed the line in second with Andrew Scheuerle rounding out the podium in third. Luke Oldfield was incredibly impressive in the #20 racer and, with a rather incident-packed Easter racing week well and truly behind him, crossed the line in fourth position with Bryan Mann, completing the top five.

Kicking Up The Dirt Sunday   March 11, 2012. Joanne White It has been quite some time since Sprintcars Queensland has endured a night of such carnage but last night’s running of Round 11 of the KRE Sprintcar Series at Supercheap Auto Archerfield Speedway proved to be a long night in the office for many of the Sprintcar teams. Twenty-six cars took up the challenge, and with double-points on the line it was game-on and every driver for themselves. An eventful A-Main saw only nine of the original eighteen starters greet the chequered flag, with Andrew Scheuerle finally getting a race win on the books after many a podium finish. Bryan Mann crossed the line in second while Peter Lack filled the final podium position. Danny Reidy and Peter Thorley completed the top five.

Kicking Up The Dirt Sunday   February 19, 2012. Joanne White It would seem there is no stopping David Muir at moment, and after last nights win at Maryborough Speedway, his third consecutive A-Main Sprintcar win, he is no doubt one of the strong favourites for the up-coming Queensland Sprintcar Title. Three consecutive Sprintcar feature wins is virtually unheard of on the local scene in south east Queensland over the past few years, with, in most cases, different winners each and every week. To secure three in a row in the tough South east Queensland competition is certainly a feat and goes to show what magnificent form Muir is in at the moment, and while Muir was one of the top form drivers all night, he certainly had to work for his win. Young North Queensland based racer Brent Aprile really gave Muir a run for the money, the pair sharing the front row for the start of the 30-lap A-Main event and opening a comfortable lead over the rest of the field at each start. Aprile drove magnificently, pushing Muir all the way to the flag, the pair drag racing side-by-side towards the chequered flag, with Muir on his favoured highline securing the win. Aprile crossed the line in second ahead of Andrew Scheuerle, Kevin Titman and Todd Wanless.
