Kingshott keeps championship lead as Maiolo tastes Bunbury Speedway glory

Brad Maiolo won the LJM Grand Prix at Bunbury Speedway on Saturday night in Round 11 of the Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series. Maiolo started the race in fourth place but but made up two spots in the first lap. He was able to keep on the back of race leader Andrew Priolo as the pair stretched out a gap to the rest of the field. It wasn’t until there were seven laps to go when Maiolo made his move but the pair continued to swap positions until a caution period put a dampener on the battle. In the end, Maiolo was able to win comfortably to consolidate his championship position of third place. Bunbury’s championship leading driver Dayne Kingshott finished eighth in the race after starting fifth but his title rival James Inglis only finished one place ahead. Kingshott now holds the championship lead by 20 points over Inglis. The series will now move to the Perth Motorplex on Saturday.
