BORDERTOWN SPEEDWAY CONSTRUCTION WORK ON SCHEDULE

The Speedway will host the second round of the annual December 26-January 1 extravaganza and is welcomed into the schedule for round two on December 27.

Promoters and management of Geelong’s Avalon Raceway, Borderline Speedway, Mount Gambier, and Warrnambool’s Premier Speedway recently inspected the spectacular earthworks.

“The Speedway in Bordertown is spectacular already and it’s not yet completed,” Avalon Raceway’s Jeff Drew said.

“As the collective of promoting tracks of the Sprintcar Speedweek, we couldn’t be more excited to welcome Wayne and Andrew Rowett and their team in Bordertown on board for 2024/2025. This is going to be a wonderful addition to the Australian Speedway industry and our annual Speedweek series specifically.”

The inclusion of Bordertown now makes Speedweek a five-tracks-in-seven-days proposition.

The news of Bordertown’s addition to the schedule has also been welcomed by many of the elite Sprintcar teams that have already indicated interest in Speedweek ’24/25.

Whilst the venue has yet to be officially named and earth and logistical works continue at a steady rate, there is little concern for Wayne Rowett that their new dream arena will be completed in time for the 2024/2025 season.

“We’re on target,” says Rowett, “we’ve been working hard on many aspects of the facility and we’re really excited to be part of the Sprintcar Speedweek Series. Naturally, there is still plenty to do before we open and we aim to have several test, practice and race event sessions completed before Christmas but it is absolutely our intention to add our own special Bordertown magic to Speedweek.

“It’s an honour to be included and we’re grateful for the show of faith from Murray Bridge, Avalon, Borderline and Premier. We can’t wait.”

December 26: Murray Machining & Sheds Murray Bridge Speedway, SA

December 27: Bordertown Speedway, SA

December 28: Borderline Speedway Mount Gambier, SA
