24.01.2022 Long time racer Murray Iwanow has raced junior sedans, production sedans, super sedans and now sprintcars. In all this time one thing has eluded him, a WA Championship.

22.01.2022 Top 12 Points Countdown 7th - Mitch Wormall Points - 1054 After sitting out the first half of the year, Wormall returned to racing at Perth Motorplex. After a starting in P9, Wormall was hardcharger on a slick track finishing 5th. ... Next up Wormall made the trip to Collie Speedway. After a strong night winning multiple heats, Wormall dominated the feature racing to win his second WA 360 Sprintcar State Title. Missing the next round, Wormall returned to contest the Kalgoorlie event. With a pair of third places, Wormall backed it up with a 3rd place podium in the main event. The final round at Pithara saw Wormall leading the feature event before a flat tyre saw the W97 retire. It's fair to say if Wormall contests a full season he will be a serious championship contender. We at the SAWA Sprintcar Series would also like to wish Mitch a full recovery after suffering serious burns in a accident several weeks ago. Pic by Peter Roebuck

In his first season back from a long hiatus, David Priolo was eighth overall in the Diamond Bay Motorsport/David Priolo Motorsport W26, showing he will be a force to be reckoned with next season. Ninth was a former two-time series champion in Brad Maiolo in the LJM Racing W77, also showing plenty of pace in the second half of the season to also be a threat next summer. Rounding out the top 10 was AJ Nash in the Colonial Motorsport W9 in what was a busy year for the third-generation sprintcar racer - also racing a Wingless Sprint at the back end of the season. 11th was Andrew Priolo in the Highway Harley Davidson Racing Team W8. Unfortunately he had a few top five race finishes slip after enduring some big crashes - which also saw him receive the SAWA King of Crash award. 12th went to Daniel Harding in the Harding Racing W41 - being another driver who had some big chances for victory slip after a big run of bad luck.

The SAWA 360 awards were also presented with George Eaton winning the Encouragement Award and Hartigan getting the nod as the Driver with the Most Potential. Hartigan’s haul continued when he also won the Bonza Bradford Memorial Trophy for the best performance in the division, taking the win from Peet and Ryan. Naturally his good season also meant he won the Most Feature Race Wins trophy (3) and he was the Feature Race Champion as well. Wormall collected the WA 360 Sprintcar Championship award.

19.01.2022 Top 12 Series Points Countdown 11th - George Eaton Points - 789 Rounds contested - 5... Newcomer to the sport George Eaton endured an up and down season. A good start to the season saw George racing both the SAWA Sprintcar Series and SEG Series. During the SAWA Sprintcar Series, George had good results including a 5th at Moora Speedway and a fine 6th at Collie Speedway during the WA 360 State Championship. The season went pear shaped after that point, when a big crash at Kwinana Motorplex saw the young racer on the sidelines for the last two rounds. Eaton was third on points at that stage, but decided to sit out and rebuild the car for the coming season. Pic by Stumac95
19.01.2022 Top 12 Series Points Countdown 9th- Ryan Lancaster Points - 942 Rounds contested - 5... An up and down season for Lancaster started at Ellenbrook Speedway with a DNF in the feature race. On a tricky track at Moora, a fourth placing in the feature race was a decent result. The third round at Kwinana saw Lancaster run both 410 SEG Sprintcars and the SAWA Sprintcar Series with two cars. After qualifying on the front row, Lancaster started outside on a very slick track and managed to finish third. At Collie Speedway, Lancaster struggled in the feature race finishing 9th. Returning for the final round at Pithara, Lancaster retired from the race after damaging a left rear rim during the feature. Pic by Stumac95 Photography

13.01.2022 Top 12 Series Points Countdown 12th - Taylor Milling Points - 696 Rounds contested - 3 rounds... Taylor Milling's season with the SAWA Sprintcar Series was a mixed bag of results.

At the State Title at Collie Speedway, Milling hurt an engine in his final heat while leading and near top of points. Kalgoorlie saw Milling race to a big win in front of his local fans. While Pithara saw a blown right tyre end his charge. A special thanks must also go to his father Scott Milling, a former Sprintcar racer who's business was an inaugural partner of the series.

Over the coming months news will be updated when received, but we look to an even bigger season. More series rounds, bigger cars counts and a larger prize-pool.
07.01.2022 Ben Butcher is another young West Aussie sprintcar driver trying to reach the top step in a tough, at times brutal sport. Last weekend Butcher was racing in the WA Sprintcar Speedweek when he was the innocent party of a first lap pileup in the final feature race. Butcher is sure to bounce back and will this week put his trusty 360 engine between the rails to compete for WA 360 Sprintcar Title at Collie Speedway. ... As a former 360 Australian Championship placegetter and 360 Power Series winner, Butcher will be one of the favourites to win an elusive WA 360 Sprintcar Championship. Pic by Stumac95 Photography

04.01.2022 Last round Tom Callaghan was runner up in the feature race, can he go one spot better this coming weekend at the WA 360 Sprintcar Championship? Callaghan was last seasons SAWA/SEG rookie of the year, impressing many with his maturity while still at high school. If Callaghan breaks through and wins this weekend's WA championship, he would become one of the youngest ever winners. But a field of 19 other drivers are ready to fight for glory at Collie Speedway.
01.01.2022 A wildcard joins the field!! Aldo DePaoli is back in the seat after being team owner for Scott Bogucski during the recent WA Sprintcar Speedweek.

01.01.2022 Top 12 Series Points Countdown 10th- Tom Callaghan Points - 888 Rounds contested - 4... After winning SAWA Rookie of the Year the previous season, Callaghan joined the series at the Perth Motorplex round. Starting with a bang Callaghan won his first heat race contested and took a fine second place in the feature race. At Collie Speedway for the state title, Callaghan again placed well with a 4th placed finish against strong competition. Moving onto Bunbury Speedway another podium placing of third was achieved. Kalgoorlie Speedway unfortunately saw the youngster crash out at the start of the a-main after starting on the front row. At each round contested, Callaghan won heat races and proved to be a serious contender. With his 360 Sprintcar now sold, Callaghan is rumored to be moving to midgets. But hopefully we haven't seen the last of the young hardcharger in the winged warriors. Pic by Mel Parker
