Classic winner to pocket $60,000
THE winner of next year’s Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic will take home $60,000.
Premier Speedway general manager Michael Parry last week announced the club would increase the cash prize by a massive 50 per cent (from $40,000 to $60,000 in 2026), bringing the total prize pool for the three-night event to $300,000.
“It isn’t only the overall winner who will benefit,” Parry said.
“Every classic A-Main position will increase in prize money, with an additional $30,000 across the A-Main event.”
This means every driver in the A-Main will now receive a minimum $2,000.
“This increase sees the final night A-Main prize money almost $150,000 in total,” Parry said.
“This is a significant investment in the event by the Premier Speedway Club after increasing the preliminary night prize money by $20,000 across the two nights for the 2025 event – and now adding another $30,000 for 2026.”
Parry said the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic was now regarded the most prestigious Sprintcar event in the southern hemisphere, attracting the largest number of competitors globally.
The event was first held in 1973, with 2026 to mark the 53rd running of the iconic event.
Admission tickets for the 2026 Flying Horse Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic will be available from Tuesday, October 7.
