Darren Kane picked up his third Feature race win of the 2007/08 Ian Boettcher Volkswagen Super Sedan Series on Saturday night May 17 at Maryborough Speedway, his victory over Matt Pascoe and Gavin Nortfield in the Series Final closing out the season-long Championship.

 Kane, the current Qld Champion after winning the State Title behind the wheel of the Boettcher Racing Mazda RX8 at Gympie Speedway in early May, traded the lead with Pascoe during the Feature event but it was Kane who prevailed in the end, leading twenty-four of the thirty laps and finishing a little over three and half seconds ahead of Pascoe at the flag.

 Kane's Maryborough victory ties him with both Wayne and Ian Brims as winners of three Series Features this season. Kane also won two Toowoomba Rounds this season, Round 7 in December and Round 14 in March. Australian Super Sedan Champion Jamie McHugh, now retired, heads the list of Feature race winners with four victories during the IBV Series this season.

Although Wayne Brims had already clinched the Championship ahead of the Series Final, the battle for the minors was still on in earnest with Ian Brims and Craig McGeorge still in contention for second place in the final standings. Ian Brims led McGeorge by thirty-eight points heading into the Maryborough event and increased that margin with a fifth place finish in the Feature with McGeorge coming home ninth.

 McGeorge's third place in Series points is just reward for a consistent season in his comeback to Super Sedan racing following a lengthy layoff due to a work-related accident. Despite not finding victory lane during the Series, McGeorge posted nine top five finishes this season including four podium results and competed in every Round. 

IBV Series Round 18 and AS Concrete Pumping Development Series Round 8 Heat races were won by Matt Pascoe, Craig McGeorge, Russell Dobson (2), Wayne Randall, Peter Warren, Craig Goodrum, Gavin Northfield and Darren Kane. Dobson also won the B-Main from Allan Schultz and Darren Saunders. 

Super Sedan Association Inc (SSA) drivers return to Brisbane International Speedway this Saturday night May 24, their final appearance of the season at the Archerfield raceway. Early nominations for this event include Darren Kane, Wayne Randall and John Leslight, with Leslight driving Ian Brims' car in an end-of-season cameo appearance.

 The final event on the Super Sedan schedule for 2007/08 will be the Grenville Anderson East Coast Winternationals which will be held over two nights of racing at Lismore Speedway, June 7/8, and will pay a healthy $5000 to the winner of the fifty lap Feature event.
