Century Batteries Ipswich Super 440 Event Manager Matt Gegg said: “The free event promises fun for the whole family and is a unique opportunity for fans to meet their favourite drivers and riders before the action begins at Queensland Raceway.”
The Ipswich SuperSprint takes place August 8-10. Tickets are on sale now at Supercars.com.
Camping is available within walking distance of the circuit through the Queensland Raceway website and Supercars.com
The event is the final round of the Repco Sprint Cup. The driver who finishes atop the leaderboard after the event will be the first to book their spot in the inaugural Supercars’ Finals Series which begins on the Gold Coast in October.
Gold Coast’s Broc Feeney holds a commanding 220-point lead over his Red Bull Chevrolet teammate Will Brown heading into the Century Batteries Ipswich Super440, which runs August 8-10 at Queensland Raceway.
