Bumper field of 27 drivers nominated for Albany round of Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series on Saturday

The list of drivers is growing quickly for this Saturday’s highly-anticipated round of the Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series in Albany. The first regional round of the series will be held at Albany’s Attwell Park Speedway in front of what is likely to be a huge crowd as the 410 sprintcars make their return to the venue. American Justin Whittall will be among the big field of drivers ready to contest round six of the series, which comes just days after Kaiden Manders won the WA Sprintcar Title at the Perth Motorplex. Manders will venture to Albany as WA #1, having knocked off WA star Dayne Kingshott and Queenslander Luke Oldfield in the 35-lap final on Saturday. Kingshott leads the series by eight points over Callum Williamson with Daniel Harding in third place. In a major boost to the Albany round, nine of the top 10 drivers in the championship have all nominated for this Saturday’s event. Four-time Australia champion Kerry Madsen heads the list of 27 entries while multiple WA titleholder Ryan Farrell is also nominated. Taylor Milling, Brad Maiolo, Kris Coyle, Jason Kendrick, Jack Williamson and Jason Pryde are among the other prominent drivers headed to Albany. The sprintcars showdown is part of the Albany Speedway Club’s bumper 60th anniversary season. Gates open at 1pm and action will be on track from 5.30pm on Saturday. Albany will also host a round of the Junior Sedan Racing Association series on the night and production sedans are part of the support program as well. Entry for adults is $45, concession is $20 and children between 12-16 are $20 while children under 12 are free.
