As the kick off for the 2009 World
Series Sprintcars draws ever closer, another major component of the
on track presentation was announced today.
Arguably the best ‘ringmaster’ in the business Wade Aunger has
signed on for the 2009 series and will be the voice of WSS on its
nationwide tour. Announcing the new deal with Aunger, WSS Chairman
Geoff Kendrick said he was delighted to with the outcome.
“Wade was a key part of the success of WSS over many years. He has a
unique understanding of the show and is the best on course
ringmaster in the land. As part of the development of the new look
WSS we have spoken to many interest groups and it was clear that
Wade was seen as an element that takes the WSS to the levels it
needs to be at,” said Kendrick.
Aunger too was happy to be back with WSS. “I have been sitting on
the sidelines for a while which is a good thing. It has given me a
chance to reignite my batteries and my passion for Sprintcars,”
Aunger commented. “I am very excited to get back on the road and see
what I can add to the series. Speedway is still my first love and I
am completely focused on the job of livening up the show and giving
the fans a great night out,” Aunger added.
Aunger will be at 16 of the 17 nights of racing this season. A
pre-contractual commitment to the Mini Series in Perth will see
David Tapp launch the series in Brisbane. Tapp is no stranger to the
WSS crowds and is delighted to be filling in for Round 1.
The 2009/10 World Series Sprintcars championship kicks off in
Brisbane on November 21 and includes 14 rounds at the premier
Speedway venues around Australia.
