The field for the Northern Territory Junior Sedan Title has been released, with the event to be held on Saturday, 4 November 2017, at Arunga Park, Alice Springs.
Twenty four drivers have entered, with entries received from Western Australia, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia, to join the Northern Territory drivers for the event.
Multiple State and defending Champion, Ardie Jonic, heads the line-up, which also includes former National Champion, Todd Atkins and Ricky Cornwall who finished third in the Victorian Title last season behind Jonic.
Jonic has already been in red hot form this season, winning recently at Kingaroy and previous to that at Gympie. Jonic will be looking to become the third driver in the history of the Northern Territory Title to win the title twice, with Adrian Cottrell for South Australia (2009, 2011) and three times winner Jason McIver (2003-2005) being the other two.
Last seasons runner-up behind Jonic, Dylan Parkes from Western Australia, is also in the field, along with Zac Minshull from Broome, who has also been impressive this season.
Zack Grimshaw and Lance Carew will be prominent for the Territory, who have not had a home based winner in the event since Lachlan Vincent won the event a decade ago.
