Media Release Jarryd Stokes

The final round of the 2007-2008 Eureka Garages and Sheds Sprintcar Series came to a conclusion last night (April 12) at Hamilton’s Western Speedway with Scoresby’s Matthew Reed capturing his fifth SRA Eureka Series victory, while Point Cook’s David Murcott held on for his third Eureka Series feature win this season.

Reed was full of smiles knowing he had secured his fifth SRA Eureka Series victory before his first American racing campaign in the coming months.

“We’ve raced these things (Sprintcars) for just over a decade and in five of those years to have won the SRA Series is a great achievement. We’ve won the series every time we have competed in the whole competition,” Reed said.

SIMPSON SPEEDWAY HOSTS 360 AUSTRALIAN TITLE

Spectators at Simpson Speedway saw plenty of action on Saturday 5th January as it hosted the 360 Victorian Title and the Brodix Sprintcar Series.

Competitors such as Troy Little, Lauren Densley and the current Victorian Open Sprintcar Champion Matthew Reed driving the V48 sprintcar of Mark Charge, were among many that competed for the title and the points in the Brodix Series.

Reed, with his experience on the tricky Simpson track looked like a strong contender for the title as he got his night off to a great start, with a win from seventh position for the first heat. However a DNF was recorded in heat 2 after "Mr Speed" took a wild ride when he got tangled up with V23 Ashley Bourke in turns 3 and 4, resulting in him being restarted rear of field. With the car sustaining severe wing and rear end damage Reed had only completed a few more laps before the torque tube dislodged and caused him to pull infield and sit out for the remainder of his heat.

With a win and a DNF in his heats Reed still qualified to start from 7th position alongside Ashley Bourke in the feature, with Tony Moule and Johnny Vogels on front row.

The Victorian Title went to Tony Moule, with Johnny Vogels 2nd and Ricky Barrard 3rd.

Matthew finished in 7th position.

The Wanless World Series Sprintcars hit Avalon International Raceway in force last night the 30^th of December. With the Victorian champion ‘Mr. Speed’ Matthew Reed competing in round 12 of the series.

Reed driving the USA 29 car powered by a 372 engine came up against some of the more powerful 410's of Jason Johnson, Max Dumesny, and Brooke Tatnell and alike. With a gusty display of passing manovers throughout the night Reed started on pole in the 35 lap feature after a successful win in the dash with Robbie Farr beside in second. Farr got the jump but Reed was hot on his heels and at one stage fans were on the edge of their seats as it looked like Matthew was going to take the win in Round 12 of the Wanless World Series. Farr however was determined to hold on to his position and did so leaving Reed to come home 2nd and Brooke Tatnell in third.

MATTHEW REED OPENING NIGHT AVALON

Matthew Reed hit the track at Avalon Raceway on Sat 20th Oct for the first round of the Eureka Garages and Shed Super Sprint Series. The current Victorian Champion driving the Westside Honda V92 Maxim qualified 3rd in for the top 6 shoot out, placing him on the second row alongside Troy Little, with quick time winner David Murcott and Domain Ramsey on the front row.

Reed got off to a great start and was gaining huge momentum coming out of the turns but on the 7th lap a passing maneuver on the high line saw Reed loop the V92 Maxim to a stand still, bringing on the caution lights momentarily and having to restart his race from rear of field.

On the restart Reed was determination to get back up amongst the front runners, so once again he set his sights on taking the high line and this time it was with great success.

Reed after having to fast track himself through the 16 car field finished respectably in 4th place, placing him behind (MVB) Mike Van Bremen 3rd, Troy Little 2nd and David Murcott who took out the win.

Matthew's next race will be at Adelaide's Speedway City on Sat 3th November where he will compete in RD 1 of the Australian Sprintcar Masters.
