Matty Pascoe has won one of the best ever Speedway Sedans Australia, National Super Sedan Title A Mains, which went forty laps without a stoppage, in a brilliant spectacle at the Heartland Raceway, Moama.

The race track lent itself to the occasion, with two, three and sometimes four wide racing through the field, in a great advertisement, not only for the category but for Speedway.

Defending Champion, Callum Harper started on the front row with Ash Bergmeier, while Pascoe and Mick Nicola Jnr started on the second row.

Harper immediately took the lead and in the early stages did not get away from Bergmeier or Pascoe. On lap five Harper started to move clear, as Bergmeier and Pascoe were joined by Ryan Alexander in what turned out to be a brilliant three way battle which lasted for the next fifteen laps.

On lap twenty, Harper lapped his first competitor, Gary Higgs, as Pascoe and Alexander both passed Bergmeier, and started the chase after Harper. Harper would hit very heavy lapped traffic, and eventually was caught by Pascoe and Alexander, and at one point the three were fighting for the lead in pits bend (turn four).

Pascoe took the lead on lap twenty five, with the traffic now Pascoes issue, with Harper and Alexander having issues getting through the traffic, with Alexander moving to second with ten laps to run.

All the while, behind fourth placed Bergmeier, Michael Nicola Jnr and Darren Kane, ran literally side by side for twenty five laps, in a brilliant spectactle.

With traffic playing a part through the field, Peter Nicola, who won the B Main after a horror run in the qualifying heats, had moved into seventh place with five laps remaining. Pascoe meanwhile had a handy lead, a lead he held to the very end, to become a three time Champion after previous victories in 2013 and 2015.

Ryan Alexander was a highly credible second, with Callum Harper, the outgoing Champion third. Darren Kane finished fourth, while Peter Nicola stormed home in the concluding stages to finish fifth.

For Matty Pascoe, it would be his seventh feature race win of the season, one he dedicated to his Mother and Father who passed away in the last twelve months.
