Single-handedly flying the flag for South Australia, Joel Chadwick will no doubt launch a strong assault when he travels to Carrick Speedway in Tasmania to contest this weekend’s 2016-17 season Powranna Plant Hire Australian Wingless Sprint Championship.
The form driver throughout his state so far this season, having already racked up a number of feature-race wins, Chadwick will be heading into the Australian Championship in the best form possible, after recently dominating the South Australian Title at Adelaide Motorsport Park to impressively score back-to-back wins in the event, after first claiming the crown at Murray Bridge Speedway the previous season.
Voted the 2015-16 season South Australian Driver of the Year, Chadwick will be looking to improve on last season’s Australian Championship result at Toowoomba’s Hi-Tec Oils Speedway, where he finished in a gallant sixth after a tough run earlier in the weekend.
