Mat Pascoe Takes a Second Qld Super Sedan Title

25/11/14…Pam Franz…courtesy www.speedwaysedans.com

Matt Pascoe last weekend won his second Queensland Super Sedan State Title, defeating a stellar field of drivers from all over the nation.

Pascoe, also a former Australian Champion, who first won the Queensland title in 2010/11 raced his way to victory in the feature, defeating outgoing champion Darren Kane by just 0.255 seconds.

Kane, although he has had a consistent run with two second place finishes in the last two weekends, will not be happy, after losing both the New South Wales and Queensland State Titles by the barest of margins.

Coming home in third place was Victorian Ash Bergmeier in a fine drive.

Earlier in the night heat wins were shared by Mick Nicola (2), Dave Gartner, Darren Kane (2), Matt Williams, Wayne Brims, Peter Nicola and Pascoe.

Australian Champion Kodee Brown had a night he would rather forget, suffering mechanical issues and missing the final, while Dave Gartner was taken off to hospital scans after a rough ride, which have now all come back clear.

Modified Sedans were also on the program with Greg Worling scoring his first feature victory of the season, with Michael Nicholls grabbing the win in the Street Stock feature, while Carter Armstrong and Brendan Learoyd shared the Junior Sedan features.
