Jack Barnewall has gone back to back with Stocktober victories, after winning Saturday nights twenty five lap Street Stock A Main at the Kalgoorlie Case & Drill International Speedway.
His victory was hard fought after a great battle between himself and Collie’s Ethan Genev, with Genev driving around the outside of Barnewall on the last lap resulting in contact, leaving Genev on the infield. Officials deemed Genev to be the primary cause, relegating Genev to the back of the field for a two lap restart.
The pair started on the front row for the main event, with Genev winning two of his three qualifying heats, while Barnewall finished first, second and third in his three preliminary outings.
The duo were never separated by more than three car lengths throughout, with Barnewall leading from the start. Peter Seaton and Cody Avins saw just six and nine laps respectively before succumbing to the infield.
Evan Wakefield raced a large part of the second half of the race by himself, being brought back into contention by the two lap re-start at the end of the event. Barnewall crossed the line ahead of Wakefield, Peter Walker and Genev who recovered to finish fourth.
