Last night, young Sammy Walsh emerged as the local star of the evening with his #92 Maxim finishing fourth in the sprintcar A Main at the Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway.

With the cream of American and local racers on hand, Sammy’s “gasman” attitude was on show, with him being fast and impressive all night. He set third quick time in early qualifying before a solid second placing in heat 3. In the opening dash race, Sammy was simply too fast going on to take out a great victory giving him position one in the all important 30 lap A Main feature.

Sharing the front row with Outlaws Champ Donny Schatz the more experienced Schatz won the start, leaving Sammy holding down second place for a number of laps. Unfortunately both American stars Daryn Pitman and Steve Kinser gained the upper hand on Sam putting him back into fourth a position he would hold until the checker. Despite only racing sprintcar’s for a couple of years, Sam’s fourth position placed him ahead of some more experienced drivers.

‘We had a great night. Maybe got lucky in the dash draw but after qualifying well I kept it on a roll all night. It was only the big guys who beat me and that’s nothing to be ashamed about, they were just better in traffic. The track was a bit more physical tonight I got tired and made a few mistakes but my car was great all night.”
