After completing the 4 Round International World Midget Tests in New Zealand, USA's Danny Stratton was heading home with a $10,000 to win 50 Lap Feature glory credited to his name.

Running the NZ49, Danny crossed the line ahead of US team mate Scott Hatton and New Zealand's Steven Currie.

But it seems, the racing isn't over yet! Plans have changed for Danny Stratton!

In a last minute decision, Stratton is now heading to Sydney to compete in Rd 4 of the Speedcar Super Series this Saturday night at Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway and then a week later, race the prestigious 2 night 65th Australian Speedcar Championship (10 & 11 Feb).

With Stratton's visa only approved today, Sydney Speedcar Star and last seasons Bikebiz Track Champion, Michael Pope has elected to step out of the next two events and offered Danny the seat in the Advantage Tyres Stealth/Ed Pink.

Not only does the Advantage Tyres team have 2 Speedcars nominated, Danny Stratton driving the #18 and local racer Nathan Smee behind the #81, the Tyre Professionals are delivering Speedcar Racing to family homes across Australia by sponsoring TV coverage on Foxtel's Chequered Flag program. Record numbers are expected at this round, with all teams on show for the national telecast.

Danny Stratton is a Regular front runner at Angell Park Speedway racing BMARA sanctioned events. 5 feature wins from 22 at BMARA shows last season, Stratton finished a solid second in the overall points tally behind Scott Hatton. 4th in the Belleville Nationals and winner of the USAC 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora, Stratton in the #18 is one to keep your eyes on!
