Whanganui Chronicle
It was a long day under the hot sun at Fast Lane Spares Oceanview Family Speedway on Saturday.
But a long Whanganui drought was broken in the final race of the evening as Dylan Smith (53V) streaked to victory in the Dewtec New Zealand Minisprint Championship.

SPEEDWAY: Luke Miers finally had the luck run his way to dominate the Brent Lowe Memorial Stockcar title at the Robertson Holden Speedway in Palmerston North. The sought-after title named after the hard-hitting stockcar driver who died in an accident on Christmas Eve 2015 drew a massive field of more than 50 cars, with qualifying before a one-race final on Monday. Without doubt Miers has been the stockcar class’ outstanding driver over the past season, but has often suffered from flat tyres or cars spinning out of control in front of him. But on this occasion he had everything go his way as he cruised to a relatively untroubled win in his impressive new Peter Rees car.
