The Sprintcar Entrants Group (SEG) and the Sprintcar Association of WA, has signed a deal with Albany Speedway to host round five of the 2025-26 MaddingtonToyota Sprintcar Series, on Saturday, December 13.

 SEG chairman Geoff Kendrick is excited to take Australia’s leading speedway series to the Great Southern.

 “Over the past few seasons we have built up a lot of momentum with our series, giving us a solid foundation to build on as we head into the next season, which gets underway at the Perth Motorplex in October,” Kendrick said.

 “As part of lifting the profile of our series and series sponsors, we are pleased to have done a deal with the Albany club to go there in December.

 “This will be a great challenge for the drivers in our series to test themselves on a different track and we can’t wait to put on a show in Albany to show everyone in that part of WA what the series is all about.”

 Attwell Park is a 440 metre clay surface, with the track being 20 metres wide all the way around and having 5-10 degrees banking.

 Chantelle Rowley, of Albany Speedway, said it was going to be “absolutely fantastic for our club and the Great Southern region to bring the sprintcars here”.

 “I think it will be amazing to see all the sprintcars drivers who we always see up at the Perth Motorplex down here on our track,” she said.

 “We get the limited sprintcars, but nothing like the 410s, it is going to be great to see them just tearing the track up.”

The Albany round will be part of the local club’s 60th anniversary season that will feature a cocktail dinner on November 7, before the opening meeting on November 8.

 More details on the overall series calendar will be confirmed in coming weeks.
