Tight at the Top for Bricknell Heading into Farmers Union Series Finale                  30-3-2010

A strong result in this Friday night’s final round at Latrobe’s Bendigo Bank Arena is going to be paramount if Jamie Bricknell hopes to wrap up the Farmers Union Sprintcar Series for the 09/10 season.

The current leader of the Farmers Union Series had a disastrous ending to last weekend’s double point’s penultimate round at Carrick Speedway when he was involved in someone else’s accident during the middle stages of the feature race and resulted in a very costly non finish. As a result of this non finish and Shaun Dobson’s second place finish, it has narrowed the margin to only a handful of points between the pair heading into the final round.

“This non finish couldn’t have happened at a worse time, especially with double points on offer for that round, but it now sets the scene for what will be a thrilling final round of the Farmers Union Series,” commented the TAS # 55 Montile Tile Boutique supported Maxim driver. “I was running in fifth during the middle stages of the feature race when two cars ahead of me got together and crashed and I had to spin the car out to avoid becoming involved. Moments after spinning to a stop I was collected by two others cars following behind me and the impact from them has caused a substantial amount of damage which included cracking the chassis.”

In between now and Friday night’s (April 2) Farmers Union Series finale at Latrobe’s Bendigo Bank Arena, the Bricknell Motorsport team will go over their car with a fine tooth comb in readiness for the Farmers Union Series finale.

“With a crash of that size we cannot leave anything to chance, so we have the chassis getting repaired and we are going to make sure we have checked and double checked everything,” explained Bricknell, who finished last season’s Farmers Union Series point standings in fourth place overall. “It’s certainly not the way we wanted to head into the final round of the Farmers Union Series but we are going to be doing all we can to wrap up the title.”
