Two race wins at Queensland Raceway have delivered Tony Ricciardello and the #5 B&M Ricciardello Alfa Romeo GTV yet another clean-sweep in the Kerrick Sports Sedan Series, bringing his Series winning streak to 15 races straight.
Ricciardello led home last year’s QR round winner Darren Hossack (#4 Audi Union Deutsche Audi A4), returning six-time champion Kerry Baily (#68 Rent Depot Aston Martin DBR9), series veteran Phil Crompton (#12 Moombi Pil Traders Ford Mustang) and Michael Robinson (#32 Bell Real Estate Holden Monaro) in both of the 12 lap races.
Their performances saw Ricciardello and Hossack awarded 1st and 2nd for the round respectively, while 3rd went to Phil Crompton. Baily took 3rd from each race, however as a ‘State of Origin’ competitor the Queenslander is not eligible for national Series points. Robinson – 4th for the round - was also recognised on the podium, awarded the Kerrick award at the presentation following a weekend of hard-charging races for the Victorian which included a charge from 10th to 5th.
Robinson was part of a number of battle packs across the weekend which also included Shane Bradford – who retired in the #68 Aston Air Conditioning Chev Camaro from race 3 after two laps with engine issues following earlier problems – as well as Colin Smith (#44 MR Automotive Holden Monaro), Bob McLoughlin (#51 Marinellos Mechanical Commodre VS) and Bruce Banks (#1 BJ Banks Electrical Mazda RX7).
