Boettcher Racing Team driver Darren Kane last Saturday night at Sydney Speedway claimed his third feature race victory of the 2010/11 season after he was able to successfully defend his NSW Super Sedan Title.

After winning last season’s NSW Title at Dubbo’s Morris Park Speedway, Kane was able to back up that performance this time around at Sydney Speedway, a track where he had limited experience around, but it was his years of experience that proved the difference in the end.

Kane, who had qualified third for the feature race, had followed long-time leader Wayne Brims up until the closing stages and that was when his experience came to the fore and when it mattered most.

With the help of a late stoppage, Kane was able to outfox Brims on the restart and once he hit the lead he was never headed and scored a comfortable victory. All of this was achieved despite the handling of the QLD # 36 Boettcher Race Parts supported Dominator’s being less than ideal due to an incident earlier in the night.

“We certainly didn’t have the best car, as it was quite a handful for most of the night and with minimal time between races there was little time for the team to properly fix the car and it affected the car’s setup considerably,” explained Kane. “In the end I was able to stay in touch with Wayne [Brims] and keep the pressure on him throughout the feature race. On the final restart I knew that I had to have a go at taking the lead or else. Luckily on the restart the door was left open and I grabbed the opportunity that presented itself and that was what setup my victory.”

Kane’s latest feature race victory was his third of the 2010/11 season. He has now defended his NSW Title and won two rounds of the Proton Queensland Series.

Kane and the Boettcher Racing team will be in action this Saturday night (November 27) at Brisbane International Speedway for the sixth round of the Proton Queensland Series where the aim is to consolidate their lead in the overall point standings.
