Sydney set for drag and speedway extravaganza 

Fans will enjoy a double dose of motorsport in Sydney in March when the drag racing and speedway worlds collide.

The Chaos At The Creek event will see Professional Drag Racing and Sprintcars feature on the same program for the first time on March 22.

At the Sydney Dragway, the National Drag Racing Championship comes to town where the Pro Drag Racing Championship headlines with Pro Alcohol, Pro Mod, Pro Stock, Pro Bike and Pro Import, while sportsman’s racers will run in the 2025 NSW Track Championship.

More than 40 of the nation’s leading sprintcar drivers are anticipated with Wingless Sprints, Late Models and V8 Dirt modifieds also on the bill.

Just like in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, Sydney International Speedway is fresh from hosting its own busy and bumper speedweek.

Importantly for fans, a single ticket will give them the chance to watch both speedway and drag racing on the single Saturday night.

Chaos at the Creek is the brainchild of PDRC owner Jason Hedges.

“The proximity of the venues to each other in the Sydney Motorsport Precinct absolutely lends itself to this style of event,” he said. 

“I’d like to extend my thanks to the operators of both Sydney International Speedway and Sydney Dragway for their willingness to work together towards what I believe will be one of the biggest motorsport events in Sydney for years.

“This is going to be huge! Two Events, One ticket – Drag Racing and Speedway – what more can you ask for?”

Both Sydney Dragway and Sydney International Speedway representatives are excited by the prospect of a doubleheader.

“This will be a big step forward for cross sport collaboration,” Sydney Dragway Board Member Rob Marjan said. 

“Having the Speedway and Dragway effectively on the same property creates opportunities that we have not even considered yet.

“This will be the first of hopefully many events working side-by-side.”

“This is without a doubt one of the biggest announcements for Speedway and Drag Racing in the last 10 years in this city,” said SIS Operator Garry Wilmington. 

“There is so much crossover of fan interest between our two motorsports and I genuinely hope that the fans take advantage of this awesome event!”
