DRIVER ANNOUNCEMENT - DAVE MURCOTT

After a breakout season in 2018/19 which saw him challenge for a number of Quick Times, together with his first Preliminary A-Main World Series victory, Victoria’s Rusty Hickman will return as a contracted driver in 2019/20 in the Hickman Motorsport Vic 40.

Rusty Hickman was the surprise packet World Series Sprintcars last season. Any doubts about the 19-year old’s inexperience were quickly put aside, thanks to his incredible speed in Time Trials, backed up by race craft equal to many of his more esteemed peers. After an off-season which saw him contest the 59th Knoxville Nationals, together with a string of other events in the US and Australia, Hickman will be out to improve on his 4th overall from 2018/19 and challenge for what could be his first World Series Sprintcar title.

Two-Time Australian Sprintcar Champion Dave Murcott makes a welcome return to World Series Sprintcar competition as a contracted driver in 2019/20, piloting the famed Victory Lane Racegear V88 Sprintcar Team

Statistically one of the most consistent drivers to ever contest World Series Sprintcar competition, Murcott has never won an outright series crown, with a best result of 2nd Overall in both 2010/11 and 2014/15. However, with nine World Series Main Event wins to his name, the current Victorian Sprintcar Champion looks set to break his duck in season 2019/20, and challenge for that elusive first WSS Title.
