Redline Media release:
THE 2024-25 season campaign for the Krikke Motorsport team and their driver Dayne Kingshott was without a doubt their strongest together so far.
Highlight was their successful defence of the Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series crown.
In their fifth season together, the Krikke Motorsport and Kingshott duo (both from Bunbury, WA) had one main goal . . . and that was to make it back-to-back Maddington Toyota Series wins. They were thrilled to be able to achieve that, off the back of consistent podium finishes over the 22 rounds that saw them pick up a total of 12 feature race podiums, which included four victories.
It was the Krikke Motorsport team’s biggest season ever, competing in 30 nights of competition which included the Adelaide Velo 500, the High Limit International, the Grand Annual Classic, the JBS Sprintcar Jamboree at Tolmer Speedway and the Australian Championship at Murray Bridge.
“It was a fantastic effort from the entire Krikke Motorsport team to put together a full season by showing consistent front running speed and being able to defend our Maddington Toyota Series crown,” expressed Kingshott.
“Callum (Williamson) and I had some very close battles throughout the season, and it all came down to the wire in the point standings between the two of us in the end, and thankfully we were able to come out on top.”
Kingshott continued on by saying that, apart from defending the Maddington Toyota Series, there were plenty of other highlights during the Krikke Motorsport team’s 2024-25 season campaign.
“Being able to stand tall throughout the High Limit International events over the Christmas-New Year period was a massive thrill as I was able to mix it with world class drivers, in Americans Brad Sweet and Kyle Larson, and the whole event was a huge boost for Sprintcar racing here in Australia,” commented the WA # 2 Mobil 1 / Bunbury Toyota supported Maxim driver, who also picked up during the season the overall USA VS WA Speedweek Series point standings win.
“During the season we made two trips over to the east coast, and although our results weren’t a true reflection of our speed over there, we learned so much as a team, especially during the Australian Championship weekend at Murray Bridge Speedway, where we were super-fast in the feature race but suffered a flat tyre while running second inside 10 laps to go.”
Team manager Ryan Krikke was extremely proud of the whole Krikke Motorsport team’s efforts throughout the season.
“The Krikke Motorsport team worked their butts off all season, and it was great for them all to be rewarded with another Maddington Toyota Series in the way that we did, as that was our main focus all season long,” he said.
“During the season there were a couple of tough nights, but the whole Krikke Motorsport team never stopped working all the way through to the end of the season, and I couldn’t be prouder of the whole team and the season we have enjoyed together.”
The final 2024-25 season event for the Krikke Motorsport team will be the Maddington Toyota Series / Perth Motorplex awards night on the Saturday night of June 7 at Perth’s Burswood on Swan.
