December 16, 2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Super Sedans superstar Mathew Pascoe added another Queensland title to his trophy shelf on Saturday night after a dominating performance at the Kingaroy Speedway.<\/p>\n

Pascoe won all his heats before claiming a three-second win in the final.<\/p>\n

It was the fourth Queensland title win in a row for the Aussie champion, and his sixth overall.<\/p>\n

Former Queensland champions Darren Kane and Michael Nicola took out second and third spots in a keenly contested 40-lap final.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy\u2019s Travis Barron was also among the Super Sedans action, finishing in 10th spot after securing a third in an earlier heat.<\/p>\n

The biggest bingle of the night came in the final of the Wingless Sprints when Michael Lampard and Lachie Robertson came together in spectacular fashion on Lap 8.<\/b><\/p>\n

Lamperd’s Q60 car grew wings before pivoting on its rollbar and landing back on its wheels to finish the race in 10th position.<\/p>\n

Robertson was not so lucky, retiring with a broken race car.<\/p>\n

The Kingaroy track was kept well-watered throughout the evening with regular appearances of the water truck between heats.<\/p>\n

This not only helped to keep the dust down but ensured there was track-wide racing during the Super Sedans final.<\/p>\n

Local driver Nathan Barbeler took out the 20-lap final of Round 3 of the Edge Automotive Street Stock series.<\/p>\n

The series is being raced at Kingaroy across five rounds with cash prizes to be distributed in May.<\/p>\n

Also raced on the night were Lightning Sprints, Modlites and Production Sedans.<\/p>\n

A highlight of the Christmas Cup meeting for younger speedway fans was the appearance of Santa around the track, handing out lollies.<\/p>\n

The next speedway meeting in Kingaroy will be the massive Australia Day long weekend Kings Royal event for Modified Sedans.<\/b><\/p>\n

Racing will run across three nights – January 24-26 – and will also feature Street Stocks, Production Sedans, Modlites and Juniors.<\/p>\n
