Doyle 's maiden Australian speedway title
And topped off beautifully by winning his home round in Kurri KurriJason Doyle wrapped up his maiden Australian Speedway Championship in style after winning his home round at Kurri Kurri on January 10.
Doyle, born in nearby Newcastle, required just 6pts to secure the title and, after winning his opener, he wrapped things up in heat five with victory over Max Fricke, Tyson Nelson and Joey Ringwood.
Doyle star ended his heats on 14pts, before charging to victory in the A Final ahead of Sam Masters, Rohan Tungate and B Final winner Dakota North.
It was a Newcastle one-two in the series as 16pts from Masters, including 13 in the heats, earned him championship silver on 52.
Justin Sedgmen’s 11 in the heats were enough to seal him bronze on 48, despite him finishing third in the B Final. He tied on 48pts with Max Fricke, but Sedgmen was awarded third after beating his former Edinburgh teammate in three of the four rounds.
Fricke missed out on A Final after being excluded from the B Final under the two-minute time allowance. He was left with the 11pts he scored in the heats. North was fifth overall on 47pts, with Tungate sixth on 46.
Former world champ Chris Holder finished 10th in the final standings on 23pts after crashing out of practice for round three in Undera on Wednesday and dislocating his left wrist.
