World of Outlaws American professional driver Carson Macedo returns to Premier Speedway in the Sean & Felicity Dyson owned entry. Macedo is joined by Chase Randall, the reigning 360 Knoxville Track Champion who hails from Waco, Texas.
The American stars will have tough opposition with Australia’s top talent all in attendance. A total of fifty-four Sprintcars are nominated for the $7000 to win Max’s Race Feature which is also Round 3 of the Total Tools Warrnambool Track Championship.
The field includes competitors from five states of Australia including great support from NSW with twelve drivers making the trip south.
Current Australian Champion from Tasmania Jock Goodyer and Albury’s Grant Anderson return after missing the previous Premier Speedway event.

The current Australia #1 Brent Vosbergen has entered in the Domain Ramsay owned machine, joined by current Victorian Champion Peter Nicola and a solid field from across Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania, who are well represented with four cars.
