For a second year in a row, Sprintcars are coming to stun crowds at the bp Adelaide Grand Final with a 40-car field to race for the $140,000 prize pool.

Sprintcars made a stunning debut on the Supercars stage at last year’s Adelaide finale, with big crowds enjoying the race at the 342m NAPA Speedway.

Not only was it a big tick for the event, expanding its wide range of attractions, but especially for Sprintcars as it brought its form of racing to a new crowd and big stage.

In 2025 there are more stakes with drivers chasing a bigger with the winnner getting an extra $25,000 as part of a massive $140,000 prize pool.

Sprintcars will not only be on show with Speedcars, Junior Sedans and Junior Formula 500s being support acts.

Michael Stewart claimed the crown last year, but has not been named in the intial entry list, which still includes numerous stars.

The 2024 Australian champion Lochie McHugh and five-time World Series Sprintcars Champion James McFadden will be the biggest names on show.

Kerry Madsen hopes to go back-to-back after winning last year’s finale with Lisa Walker and Tarhlea Apelt hoping to make an impact.

There will be some international names coming with New Zealand champion Max Gullford looking to make a splash across the Tasman, while making the journey from America is Riley Goodno and Thomas Meseraull is also listed amongst the entries.

In the Speedcars Kaidon Brown is the one to beat with Melissa Couch and Zoe Pearce expected to be contenders.

“The NAPA Speedway is back, bigger and better at the bp Adelaide Grand Final with world-class drivers ready to race in the heart of the city for the $140k prize pool,” South Australian Motor Sport Board CEO Mark Warren said.

“Hosting four different categories with talented drivers will ensure every moment produces adrenaline pumping racing and guarantees it will be a key spectator experience to see where champions are made.

“The NAPA Speedway has a strong sense of community for fans, and this will be seen with various family duo’s competing across the categories creating exciting rivalries and battles to watch throughout the field.”
