The Warrnambool-based driver was aiming for back-to-back wins on Thursday night. He claimed round-two honours at Murray Bridge after the dramatic A-Main was cut three laps short.
An incident involving Australian number one Kerry Madsen and Allansford competitor Tim Van Ginneken left the former reeling.
Madsen had climbed from the B-Main and a starting spot of 15th to be within striking range of the top-five when he and Van Ginneken were involved in a crash.
Van Ginneken made contact with Madsen, forcing him into the fence on turn one.
The American-based Madsen, speaking over the speaker at the venue, labelled the incident “the stupidest move I have ever seen at a speedway”. Van Ginneken told sprintcarworld.com.au it was part of racing.
“It’s not like Kerry’s never done that to anyone is it? So I am certainly not going to lose any sleep over it,” he said.
