Thirty two cars. Eight regions. Three nights. One crown.
Nominations are locked in for the 2026 All Star Welding Chariots of Thunder at Wise Group Northline Speedway, the meeting the whole sprintcar season builds toward. Three nights on Darwin dirt, one name on the trophy, and a field deep enough that nobody is calling it early.
Reigning champion Luke Storer, current Australian champion Jock Goodyer, Matt Egel in his new outfit, Brock Hallett and Lachlan McHugh, just to name a few. Storer did it the hard way last year, never winning a single night and still taking the crown on consistency across the three. Goodyer is the man who keeps winning the nights that matter. Egel and Hallett have both parked it in Darwin's victory lane before. Don't count out Max Guilford either, the lone Kiwi coming across the Tasman for a crack at the crown.
Standing in their way are eleven of the Top End's finest, flying the Territory flag on home dirt they know better than anyone flying in.
The full field:
Northern Territory: Zack Grimshaw, Lachlan Cole, Jet Thompson, Christopher Harrison, Angus Campbell, Will Prest, Zeth King, Ray Walliss, Hayden Brown, Cori Jackson and Scott Kernahan.
Queensland: Lachlan McHugh, Kye Jensen, Dylan Menz, Brock Hallett, Karl Hoffmans and James Mathews.
Victoria: Steven Loader, Aston Rodriguez and Daniel Scott.
Western Australia: Jason Pryde, Jake Pobjoy and Jye Mckenzie.
South Australia: Matt Egel, Luke Storer and Ryan Jones.
Tasmania: Tony Clasener and Jock Goodyer.
New South Wales: Michael Saller and Brett Hobson.
New Zealand: Max Guilford.
Three nights, one crown, and only one name that leaves Darwin with it.
