Current back-to-back Australian Speedcar champion Kaidon Brown and Tasmanian Super Sedans champion Callum Harper will each join the field for the Legends Nationals at Sydney Motorsport Park.<\/p>\n

Utilising the shorter \u2018Druitt\u2019 layout of SMP, an anticipated 40+ Legend Cars will battle for a $10,000 cash prize.<\/p>\n

Brown has an impressive roster of drivers in his corner, including Supercars champion-turned NASCAR race winner Shane van Gisbergen.<\/p>\n

The relationship between the two dates back to the 2024 New Zealand speedway season, where they partnered in the United Truck Parts stable.<\/p>\n

Brown also has the help of NASCAR star Christopher Bell and Supercars driver Macauley Jones to assist in the shift to tarmac.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to race in the TFH Hire Legends Nationals in Sydney,\u201d said Brown.<\/p>\n

Refresh your internet.
\n Super speedy internet with award-winning innovation. Get some. <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never raced in Sydney and only raced a few endurance kart events with my uncle, but I\u2019ve been getting plenty of advice from knowledgeable people.<\/p>\n

\u201cShane van Gisbergen is among those after we raced in the same team while he was competing during the speedway season in New Zealand a couple of years ago. He was in the Sprintcar, myself in the Speedcar.<\/p>\n

\u201cChristopher Bell is another. We\u2019ve been friends for a while and also Macauley Jones, who has been a mate since we raced at NAPA Speedway in Adelaide for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no expectations, but I hope I go well and maybe open up opportunities on the tarmac as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Thomas family have been a sponsor of mine for 10-years and maybe if I have a good result here, it might lead to a TA2 test.<\/p>\n

\u201cUs speedway drivers will be competitive at the event and with prize money on the line, it should be great fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harper has been a champion in both Late Models and Super Sedans and is eager to undertake a new challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just taken the Tasmanian Super Sedan Championship, so I\u2019m eager to take on a new challenge at the TFH Hire Legends Nationals,\u201d said Harper.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere aren\u2019t really any expectations, I just want to get used to a Legend Car and maybe grab some of the prize money along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad there is a test day, so I can get used to the package and racing on tarmac, as my only experience is karting when I was younger.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to have some of the best speedway drivers like Jock [Goodyer] coming and racing, while Clay-Per-View continue to do an awesome job of showcasing our sport and I\u2019m glad that it is involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown and Harper join Sprintcar champion Jock Goodyer and Super Sedans champion Joel Berkley as the confirmed speedway contingent thus far.<\/a><\/p>\n

The speedway quartet will undertake a Legend Cars test at Queensland Raceway on April 13.<\/p>\n

The AASA Legends Nationals will be held on April 25-26, and will be aired on speedway streaming platform Clay-Per-View.<\/p>\n
