Sungold tradition continues at Premier
Venue naming rights partner Sungold Milk will continue its support of Premier Speedway for the 2024/25 season, achieving a remarkable 20-year association with the club.
The venue branding Sungold Stadium reflects the tremendous support received from Sungold Milk, now spanning two decades.
The partnership commenced in unique circumstances according to manager sales marketing and distribution (packaged milk) Bill Slater.
“The Premier Speedway Club needed a new highway fence and didn’t have the money to do it,” he said.
“In return for purchasing the colorbond sheets for the fence, Sungold Milk branding was erected, and the venue was renamed Sungold Stadium.
“It is a partnership that has continued ever since, and we are glad to be associated with a local club that assists with injecting millions into our local economy each year.”
Premier Speedway general manager Michael Parry said it was “fantastic” to have such an iconic brand associated with the Warrnambool venue.
“Sungold Milk is a staple brand in the southwest and also at Premier Speedway with its range of flavoured milk,” Mr Parry said.
“We look forward to the partnership continuing for years to come and encourage everyone to support those who support our racing industry.”
The Premier Speedway Club is a member-based club which originated in 1958.
It manages the nation’s largest annual speedway event, the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic.
Online ticket sales for the 2024/25 season will open from 10am on Wednesday, October 9.
From that date, admission tickets and reserved seating can be purchased for all 2024/25 events including the Flying Horse Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic and the Total Tools Warrnambool Sprintcar Track Championship.
Reserved seating for the Classic is available for purchase as a three-night ticket only.
The 2025 Classic will be held January 24, 25 and 26.
Round one of the sprintcar track championship will take place on Saturday, November 2.
