Another Victory Goes the Way of Bricknell                                                             29-12-2009

There seems to be no stopping the impressive form of Jamie Bricknell during the 09/10 Sprintcar season in Tasmania. Bricknell’s latest victory came on Boxing Night (December 26) at Carrick Speedway when he defeated a strong field of local contenders during the fourth round of the Farmers Union Sprintcar Series.

This Boxing Night victory was Bricknell’s third of the 09/10 season and his successive feature race victory at the Carrick Speedway track and so far this season he hasn’t finished a feature race outside the top five.

Bricknell’s latest victory has not only extended his lead in the Farmers Union Sprintcar Series but also the Tasmanian Club Championship point standings and the key to his Boxing Night success was being calculated in lapped traffic.

“Jason [Dawkins] and I were pretty much on the same pace in the clear but lapped traffic was where the winner was decided,” Bricknell, who took control of the race lead on the fifth lap of 30 in the feature race, explained. “I had to be careful in lapped traffic as there was quite a bit of it and not make any mistakes. In lapped traffic Jason was able to catch up to me but I kept my cool and held on for the win.”

The TAS # 55 Montile Tile Boutique supported Maxim driver qualified for the feature race on the outside of the front row alongside pole sitter and highest point scorer Jason Dawkins after the 20-year-old from Launceston had charged up to fourth in his opening heat race from the rear of the field and then in the second and final heat race scored a strong victory after he had started from pole position.

Bricknell also picked up the third annual ‘Robin Best’ hard charger award, which has been won by Jason Dawkins for the past two seasons, for his solid form throughout the night at Carrick Speedway.

The next event for Bricknell is going to be on Saturday night, January 2 - 2010 at Latrobe’s Bendigo Bank Arena for the fifth round of the Farmers Union Sprintcar Series.
