Gavin Fletcher won another big event last night, by winning the Firecracker 1000 for Modified Sedans at the Ausdeck Patios, Archerfield Speedway, leading all the way in the thirty lap decider.

Fletcher would have to survive numerous stoppages along with several challenges from former Australian Champion Aidan Raymont, before taking victory.  A previous winner of the event, Greg Worling would be third for the entire distance, finishing ahead of Max Clarke and Nathan McDonald.

Raymont was the quickest car on the track not only in the A Main, but also throughout the night, and despite numerous attempts to take the lead, Fletcher would hold sway to win narrowly.

Six qualifying heats were held in the lead up to the A Main, with Fletcher winning twice, while Raymont, Max Clarke, Quinton Clarke and Steven Quirk would be successful once.
