The National Association of Speedway Racing national office in Adelaide has been overwhelmed with the number of expressions of interest received by drivers wishing to contest the 2009/10 World Series Sprintcars Championship. As a result of the improved schedule of events, a good number of expressions has been received, including some of Australia’s leading drivers, some seasoned WSS veterans and some exciting new rookies. Heading the list is World of Outlaws regular Kerry Madsen, who is keen to contest his first full WSS championship for a number of years. Madsen has based his Australian racing schedule around Tyrepower PCR in recent years and is a welcome addition to the WSS touring show. Madsen is the last feature winner of WSS competition, taking out this year’s two-night Grand Final at TPCR last January. Backing up again will be Australia number two, Trevor Green, keen to improve this season’s WSS result of fourth overall. Australia number three Ryan Farrell has also expressed his interest in going on the road full-time for his maiden assault on the Championship in the Monte Motorsports machine. Peter Lack looks set to return for his third assault in the GW Racing entry, while Performance Wholesale racer Bryan Mann also wants to hit the road again after concentrating his racing in Brisbane in recent seasons.
