Round 20: Australia

We've entered the final stretch, folks. With the European Tour over, the teams now go down under, to the infamous Outback Raceway Park for Round 20. This is the home race for Aussies Connor Atwood and Zachary Fitzwater, and getting a good result here is important to them. Charles Sandfer has won here for both the past two seasons, and he is going for three in a row. Meanwhile, William Duncan lost here to Sandfer last season in a photo finish, and he is looking for redemption.

As for the championship, DJ Kurtis leads Ryder Smith by 18 points. Will the stage change again? Probably, especially considering the nature of this track.

Qualifying will be tomorrow.

16th. Time to Win in my Home Nation and for the hometown fans

Pericles:" Great Qualifying Effort! Collins on the Pole, Me Starting behind him in 3rd, then Atwood Behind me in 5th! Sanner didn't get a good starting position but he could work his way up."

Smith:" Not Very happy with the car that much, Angel is way up the order and Thaber is just up ahead of me. Hopefully we all can get up and battle for this win."

Finguy: "A solid 9th place finish. I'm happy to see that after Russia. There's still a lot of Roadies left, try and sneak in and get up high in points."

Race is up! can Sandfer win 3 in a row, or can Collins wrap up a perfect weekend with a win?
