In
breaking news, SSS Director Ken Jenkins has today announced
American Sprint & Midget legend Jimmy Sills will be
contesting round three of the Speedcar Super Series. Steering the
brand new Stanton Mopar/Beast Speedcar owned by Paul
Jordan, Sills is set to take on Australia and New
Zealand's top Speedcar drivers in what looks to be
another smashing SSS round!
With over thirty years of speedway competition under his
belt in divisions including Super Modifieds,
Motorcycles, Sprints, USAC Champ Cars and Midgets; Sills
has literally raced it all! In doing so he's added a
barrage of wins to his name such as multiple Silver
Crown Championships, the Hulman Hundred, Indianapolis
Hoosier 100, Bettenhausen 100 and Ohio Speedweek, plus
over 400 feature wins across the grades, including
multiple victories on the World of Outlaws Sprintcar
Series.
Renowned for his School of Open Wheel Racing in
California, Sills has ventured to Australia sixteen
times and New Zealand five, where he has successfully
captured the Sprintcar Classic, Pan Pacific Championship
and the Queensland Sprintcar Title. Now he is set to
take on the likes of young-gun Michael Pickens of New
Zealand, Sydney star Mark Brown, the current Australian
Speedcar Champion Steven Graham and a huge host of
Speedcar talent at Borderline Speedway Mt Gambier on the
7th of January.
The question now is whether the legend can teach the
Speedcar hot-shots of the Southern Hemisphere a thing or
two!
