The facts speak for
themselves. Since the
Carline Mufflers
National Super Sedan
Series began, Queensland
has been the dominant
force in the
competition. No other
state is yet to produce
a series winner or have
as many drivers
represented in the chase
for the championship.
The level of Queensland
success enjoyed over the
last five years is due
largely to a thriving
state competition –
which is the envy of all
others with regard to
competitor numbers,
prizemoney, sponsorship,
spectator and venue
support. The level of
competition is intense
every week, which serves
as the ideal preparation
for those drivers
chasing the NSSS
championship.
Traditionally, this
local depth also ensures
that the Queensland
rounds of the series
attract the biggest
fields and provide some
of the fiercest
competition for the NSSS
contracted stars. The
strength of the
Queensland Super Sedan
scene is easily
recognisable through the
fact that seven
Queensland-based drivers
have confirmed their
place amongst the 23
contracted drivers
confirmed thus far.
Defending NSSS champion
Matt Pascoe headlines
the Queensland
contingent, with fellow
Ipswich-based speedster
Darren Kane the only
driver in the field who
has also claimed a NSSS
crown. Having slogged
it out for series
honours last season, the
duo are again expected
to lead the charge for
the championship.
Townsville’s Trent
Wilson, who enjoyed a
stellar NSSS debut last
season, will be making
the trek from Townsville
again to chase the
championship, along with
a fellow north
Queenslander in Des
Korn.
As one of the most
exciting drivers in the
category and fresh from
a feature race win in
Toowoomba on Saturday
night, Steve Jordan is
always a welcome
addition to the NSSS
driver roster and will
be a genuine contender
for the title.
Meanwhile, Gladstone’s
Graeme Elliott has
re-signed after an
aborted campaign last
season, with Rookie of
the Year contender Colin
Hockley completing the
Queensland line-up.
However, with most other
states having assembled
their strongest fields
ever for the 2010/2011
championship, the days
of Queensland domination
may be over. Only time
will tell.
