ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD - TANNER BARCLAY
After making his return to the Super Rod class this season, Tanner Barclay set out with a fresh start behind the wheel of the eye-catching P76. Still one of the newer faces in the category, Tanner approached the season with a great attitude and a willingness to learn every time he rolled onto the track.
Contesting 11 of the 15 Aggregate rounds, Tanner put together a very consistent season to finish an impressive 7th overall in the Aggregate standings. He also enjoyed an outstanding G & C Forestry / Lupton Builders Super Tour, finishing 5th overall against a quality field of contracted drivers.
While the results speak for themselves, this award recognises much more than finishing positions. Throughout the season, Tanner continued to develop his racecraft, gain confidence behind the wheel and learn more about both the car and what it takes to be competitive in the Super Rod class. With every meeting, his improvement was easy to see.
The Encouragement Award is about recognising a driver who continues to grow, puts in the effort, and has an exciting future ahead of them. Tanner certainly ticks all those boxes, and we're looking forward to watching him continue that progress next season.
Unfortunately, Tanner was unable to join us at the Presentation Dinner, but it was wonderful to have his parents there to proudly accept the award on his behalf.
Congratulations, Tanner, on being named the recipient of our 2025/26 Encouragement Award. We look forward to seeing you back on the track next season and continuing your impressive development.
