Stadium Super Trucks
Arie Luyendyk Jnr won the opening race of the weekend for the Stadium Super Trucks at the Perth SuperSprint which was marred by a violent roll over for Matt Nolan.
Nolan’s truck was tipped into a sideways roll over on Lap 5 after hitting a jump on the main straight at an angle, with the left rear wheel departing and hitting the pedestrian foot bridge.
The incident brought out the red flag, with Nolan, who was leading at the time, getting out under his own steam.
Luyendyk Jnr led the field back to green before the Safety Car was deployed on Lap 11 when Gavin Harlien ended up on his side following a crash while battling for the lead.
The intervention left a short run to the chequered flag, with Luyendyk Jnr maintaining the top spot from Jeff Hoffman and Paul Morris who rounded out the podium.
