Tough Night for Bricknell in Tasmanian Title 16-2-2010 |

|
The Tasmanian Sprintcar Title was one event that Jamie Bricknell was looking forward to most in the 2009/10 season but last Saturday night at Carrick Speedway the event didn’t quite go according to plan. A crash, which resulted in a DNF, in the opening heat race of the night didn’t help Bricknell’s Tasmanian Title aspirations one bit. Despite a fifth place finish in the next heat race he was forced to qualify for the Tasmanian Title deciding feature race via the B-main. In the B-main, where he started from position seven, Bricknell worked his way into a feature race transfer after he finished in third place. With a lot of work ahead of him in the feature race; Bricknell started from position 15 in the field, and by the middle stages he had worked his way up to ninth place only to spin out of contention and be forced to go to the rear of the field once he was restarted. From the restart through to the finish Bricknell charged his way forward and ended up finishing in sixth spot.
