Speedway: Katanning’s Kye Blight claims Sedan State Title victory

Katanning’s Kye Blight triumphed at the Bendotti Exporters Production Sedan State Title in a weekend of rollovers, spinouts and crashes in racing at Manjimup Speedway. The Bendotti Exporters WA Chip 2022/23 SSA Production Sedan WA State Title took place at the Tyrepower Manjimup Speedway over the weekend. In the qualifying races on Friday and Saturday, many cars lost control and were out of contention before Saturday night’s finals. But Blight avoided the carnage to eventually take the championship. Moora’s Jayden McCuish, Albany’s Calon Ball and Trent Claybrook, and Kalgoorlie’s Hamish Macalpine all retired in the final race due to collisions and spinning out. Kye Blight won the State Title after an intense final race, with Albany’s Jason Batchelor a narrow second. Kye’s brother, Jake, was third, Manjimup’s Drew Ogle fourth and Collie’s Beau Riley fifth.
