Workshop Diaries with Cole Robertson 🔧🏁

Hayden caught up with Cole Robertson to reflect on a positive 2025/26 season, where consistency was key.

Cole also shares insights from his time in the USA, where he picked up valuable knowledge and ideas that he's looking to bring into his racing program back home.

Over the off-season, he has been busy stripping down and rebuilding his 10" Harris TQ, with plenty of hours spent in the workshop refining and developing the package.

After building a strong foundation last season, Cole's sights are firmly set on climbing the podium and challenging for the top step in what promises to be another fiercely competitive TQ Midget season.

Kyle Jones set for Lucas Oil Auckland Speedway with Dewtec Motorsport

Lucas Oil Auckland Speedway is pleased to announce that American racer Kyle Jones will join forces with Shane Dewar and Dewtec Motorsport for the upcoming season, bringing another exciting international combination to New Zealand's Midget racing scene.

Jones arrives with an outstanding record across both Midgets and Sprintcars in the United States, having built a reputation as a versatile racer capable of winning at every level of dirt track competition. His extensive resume includes a USAC Gulf Coast Midget Championship, Tulsa Shootout Ecotech Midget Championship, victories with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series, POWRi National, POWRi West, and multiple appearances on some of the biggest stages in American Midget racing.

Among his career highlights are qualifying for the prestigious 2023 Chili Bowl Nationals A-Main, becoming the highest-finishing Texan in Chili Bowl history with a sixth-place finish, and starting the feature at the 84th Annual Turkey Night Grand Prix.

Jones has also excelled in Sprintcar competition, recording feature wins in ASCS 410 Winged Sprint Cars, POWRi 410 Non-Wing Sprint Cars, ELITE 410 Non-Wing Sprint Cars, and several other categories. His achievements include being a two-time 305 Belleville Nationals Champion, further highlighting his ability to perform against some of America's toughest competition.

The pairing with Dewtec Motorsport adds another chapter to Shane Dewar's growing reputation for bringing international talent to New Zealand. Based in Palmerston North, Dewar has previously hosted Thomas Meseraull and now welcomes another proven US racer to the team for what promises to be an exciting campaign.

The combination of Dewar's experienced operation and Jones' proven winning pedigree is expected to be an exciting addition to the Lucas Oil Auckland Speedway Midget field this summer.
