CHAD Pittard went into the 2024-25 season campaign a marked man as the defending Limited Sprintcar Association Club Champion, but he managed to withstand all of that pressure throughout the season and was rewarded with a successful title defence.

To say that Pittard’s Limited Sprintcar Association Club Championship achievement was a dominant performance would be quite the understatement after the Bunbury, Western Australian-based driver raced to a total of six feature race wins over the 11 rounds. He came away with a comfortable 125 point winning margin over his nearest rival in the final LSA Club Championship standings.

Pittard’s LSA Club Championship defence was made all the more impressive when he went through three rounds in a row (Albany Speedway, Bunbury Speedway and Perth Motorplex) undefeated in both of his heat races and the feature race on each night – and there is no doubt that it was one of the keys to his back-to-back LSA Club Championship wins.

Amongst his six round victories during the season, Pittard managed to clinch three blue-ribbon events, the Carby Nationals, Davis Family Derby and Martin Laughton Cup, held over the busy Christmas-New Year period and it rewarded him with the LSA Club Championship point standings lead that he never lost all the way through to the season finale.

Heading into the recent season finale at the Perth Motorplex, Pittard played his double points ‘Joker Card’ and he managed to seal his LSA Club Championship win by virtue of his second-place finish in the feature race.

As one could imagine, Pittard was thrilled to successfully defend his LSA Club Championship for another season.

“It has been an awesome season, and it was very pleasing to be able to make it back-to-back LSA Club Championships,” the # 92 RAM Bunbury / Pittard Motors supported Triple X racer commented.

“I can’t thank the whole Pittard Racing team enough for all of their great efforts during the season and being able to come away with the LSA Club Championship was the perfect way to thank them.”

After four seasons in Limited Sprintcars, Pittard and his team will now be stepping away from the class and focusing on their transition into 410 Sprintcars for the full 2025-26 season campaign.

“I ended up running three race meetings in the 410 Sprintcars at the end of this season around the Perth Motorplex, and it was really good to be able to have a few runs on the board in readiness for next season’s big challenge,” he explained.

“I’ve enjoyed my time in Limited Sprintcars, and it’s been a great grounding for my step into 410 Sprintcars, and the team and I am now going to be working during the winter break towards our first full 410 Sprintcar season.”

Pittard and his team are excited to announce that they will be getting a head start on their home state 2025-26 season in September by travelling up to Darwin’s Northline Speedway in the Northern Territory.
