Nick Lacey put in a very consistent drive Saturday night at Avalon Raceway to take victory in round one of the 2015-2016 Eureka Garages & Sheds Sprintcar Series. Nick came out on top ahead of a recovering Brett Milburn and the new kid on the block, Dion Bellman in front a large crowd that were entertained with great racing all night long.

Forty three sprintcars lined for the opening night of the Eureka Series, that also double as the Fireball Derby and it was not long before the action was on. Five time Eureka Series Champion John Vogels took out the first heat, but luck would not go his way. The first round of heats went through with some very impressive racing. Eight heats were won by eight different drivers.

With time ticking away it was down to business in the Eureka Garages & Sheds A main event. Mollenoyux won the start from Pestka, while Sutherland took third ahead of Milburn and Lacey. With eight laps to go Lacey lead the way, while Milburn had worked his way back up to second. As the laps wound down Milburn was closing on Lacey and starting to look for a way past as they entered more traffic, Lacey was keeping his cool though to open a small gap over Milburn as the chequered flag fell to take the win by nearly one second to Milburn, Bellman had put a great drive to take third place ahead of Ramsay, with Sutherland home in fifth place.

Next Stop! The Eureka Garages and Sheds Sprintcar Series heads to Heartland Raceway on Saturday the 31st of October for Round 2 of the Series before heading to Premier Speedway on Saturday the 7th of November.
