Night One bragging rights at the 49^th South West Conveyancing Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic went the way of Lachlan McHugh after he was able to get by pole sitter Ian Madsen part way through a stop-start 30-lap preliminary night feature event.

Madsen was impressive all night, with a strong points haul now banked, he will be looking for a strong run through his Sunday night heats to lock in a prominent feature race starting spot.

Corey McCullagh’s third place was reminiscent of his Classic winning form while Carson Macedo threw everything (and some!) at his fourth place finish with current Aussie Champ Jamie Veal round out the top five.

The Super Rod Final capped an entertaining night of racing for the popular class with Jason Kavenagh again enjoying the Classic Stage in taking the win.
