Brazier Claims The Preliminary A-Main

Garry Brazier has scored a come from behind win in the Preliminary A-Main on night one of the Scott Darley $50,000 Challenge at Tyrepower Sydney Speedway. Second to the line was Ian Loudoun who led the majority of the race and third was Max Dumesny.
The 30 lap Preliminary A-Main started off in brutal fashion when Ben Atkinson flipped wildly end-for-end down the back straight after contact with Ian Madsen and Robbie Farr. Madsen and Atkinson let their feelings be known to each other as they traded heated words after the crash. Roddy Bellbowen also flipped in a separate incident. All drivers walked away okay.
Ian Loudoun set about setting up a huge lead ahead of Dumesny and Brazier but the pressure mounted as Brazier began to close in, with the six-time Aussie Champ initially passing Dumesny and then with just four laps remaining, passed Loudoun for the win.
A special mention must be made of the track, wide and smooth, producing some awesome slide-job action.
Fourth to the finish line was Grant Tunks who drove a great, consistent race. James Thompson, Shane Stewart, Robbie Farr, Trevor Green, Darryl Campbell and Matt Young rounded out the top ten.
In earlier heat race action, it was Roddy Bellbowen, Loudoun, Jeremy Cross, Farr and Alex Orr who all scored wins. The Preliminary B-Main was won by Matt Young from Sam Walsh and Shane Stewart. Jon McCorkindale won the C-Main.
Matt Young topped the time sheets in qualifying with a 12.504 second lap.
In the Wingless Sprint division, Joel Rhind took the win from Jason Bates and Jeff Thomas.
The scene is now set for the final night, tomorrow night for the Scott Darley $50,000 Challenge. The night will finish off with a metal crunching Demolition Derby.
