BUNBURY SPEEDWAY: VISITING AMERICANS DOMINATE

Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series media release: January 4, 2026.

It was an all-American lockout in the feature race in front of a capacity crowd at Bunbury Speedway on Saturday night, January 3.

Aaron Reutzel won the 30-lap feature race from Carson Macedo and Cole Macedo in round six (6) of the eight (8) night Speedweek series, which was also round 11 of the 2025-26 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series.

The driver of the Monte Motorsport #U17 started from pole position for the first and only appearance of the series this season on the recently-reworked Bunbury surface.To get to that point he was third quickest in qualifying two (2), won his heat race from position two (2), and won the Revolution Racegear A Dash.

In the final Reutzel was never challenged, taking the lead from the green and despite all the restarts, held on for his first win in six WA outings.

Carson Macedo also claimed his first podium result for the J&S Racing U60, stealing second from brother Cole at the end of the journey after starting from p3. He was third quickest in qualifying 3, won his heat race from p2 and then was second in the Revolution Racegear A Dash after starting from p4.

Carson was fourth up to lap 18 and when second-placed Brock Zearfoss headed to the work area with rear-end damage and didn’t return, he moved up to third.

At the same time Cole, who was running third in the HighLine Motorsport U40, moved up to second. Cole started the night by being third quickest in qualifying 1, before winning his heat race, from p2 and then taking second to Zearfoss in the Revolution Racegear B Dash.

Fourth went to Kerry Madsen, who started the Diamond Bay Motorsport W26 from p14, while fifth went to Kaiden Manders, who started fifth in the Dan Golding Racing W71. Madsen missed the dashes and started from p6 in the Last Chance qualifier, moving up to be second behind Cameron McKenzie.

Defending Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series champion Dayne Kingshott started 10th in the Krikke Motorsport W2 and moved up four spots to take sixth. He started third and finished fifth in the B Dash and the sixth overall for the night helps his points defence, as well as the eight-night Speedweek points chase.

Jason Kendrick, in the Triple M Kendrick Racing W11, took seventh after earlier in the night having engine issues in qualifying, seeing a new power plant go in. Starting at the rear of the Last Chance Qualifier, he moved up to fifth, before starting the feature race from p17.

Callum Williamson was also in the wars on the night, being a DNF in his heat and also starting at the rear of the Last Chance Qualifier, where he crashed out. This put him out of p24 for the final and he finished eighth in the Williamson Motorsport W3.

Ninth went to young gun Mikey Green who started from p6.He is starting to string together some good results in the W74.

Kris Coyle rounded out the top 10 in the Merger Motorsport W79 after starting from p15.

Taylor Milling was 11th, after starting from p7, while Jason Pryde was 12th (from p9), Harrison Peet 13th (p16), Daniel Keen 14th (from p21), Aaron Chircop 15th (from p18), Chad Pittard 16th (from p22), Kodi Clayden 17th (from p19) and Daniel Harding limping home in 18th, with a badly damaged car after big crash on about lap 12 when running in about 13th (started the race from p11).

Milling set the pace at the start of the night, with a 13.504 in qualifying 2 good enough to be the Victory 1 Performance Quick Time.

It was a tough night for some competitors, with Ryan Lancaster heading home early with engine issues, Jaydee Dack also withdrawing midway through, and Brooke Newson crashing in pits bend when a front wheel centre spoke on the W90.

American duo Zearfoss and Justin Whittall were non-finishers in the final. Zearfoss was pushing Reutzel hard until he had damage as previously mentioned, while Whitall, who started from 12th got up to 7th before he headed infield on lap 17.

Rounds 12-13  of the Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series return to the Perth Motorplex next Friday and Saturday nights – for the Slinglight WA Speedweek finale.

The overall winner of Speedweek will receive $10,000 from a $30,000 prize purse that goes to the top 15 overall – thanks to $20,000 from Speedway Australia, $5000 from the Sprintcar Entrants Group and $5000 from the Perth Motorplex.
