But it's a fantasy on a select few live out.

Here are The Standard's Aussie drivers to watch.

Hometown: Warrnambool, Victoria

Car: V35

Highest finish: First (2016)

Verdict: The popular Warrnambool racer has shown he can feature at the business end of the prestigious event and this year will be no different.

Hometown: Warrnambool, Victoria

Car: W17

Highest finish: First (2017)

Verdict: With a strong American season under his belt and an impressive run of form from the World Series Sprintcars, 'Jmac' is one of the hot favourites to claim another classic crown.

Hometown: Sydney (Australia)/Knoxville (Iowa)

Car: W2

Highest finish: First (2005, 2007, 2008)

Verdict: A three-time champion and World of Outlaws regular is not one to be discounted when considering favourites for the classic.

The Sydney export will be looking for redemption at Premier Speedway after crashing out in the recent World Series Sprintcars finale.

Hometown: Warrnambool

Car: V90

Highest finish: First (2018)

Verdict: The fire will be burning brightly under the 2018 winner who will be eager to make amends after his title defence last year ended prematurely due to injury.

Back in his family-owned V90 car.

Hometown: Gold Coast

Car: Q7

Highest finish: First (2019)

Verdict: After waiting decades for his chance to taste classic glory, don't expect Farr to give away his title easily.

The Queenslander will return more confident than ever with a victory and another podium finish under his belt.

Hometown: Archerfield, Queensland

Car: A1

Highest finish: N/A

Verdict: Having the Australian number one on your car is guaranteed to bring you some attention and with it some confidence.

Scheuerle will be looking to show why he is one of the nation's top sprintcar drivers.

Hometown: Sans Souci, New South Wales

Car: V55

Highest finish: First (1995, 1999, 2009)

Verdict: US-based driver who will be determined to make a mark after losing his American ride. Three-time champion who is too shrewd to discount.

Hometown: Mount Gambier, South Australia

Car: Q83

Highest finish: First (2011, 2013)

Verdict: A two-time winner and a regular visitor to Premier Speedway will cross the border again with hopes of a third title. Everything must go right if Lines is to become a three-time winner.

Hometown: Albury, New South Wales

Car: V37

Highest finish: Third (2015)

Verdict: Currently enjoying a rich vein of form at Premier Speedway. Won a preliminary night at the classic a couple of years ago and is a shot if everything works out.
