WHAT A SEASON!

The 2025/26 Pro Dirt Series delivered one of its most competitive and entertaining seasons to date, featuring a blend of dominant performances, breakthrough victories, and dramatic late-race finishes across Western Australia. From season-opening success at Ellenbrook Speedway through to the historic 100-lap Nationals and rounds at Kalgoorlie, Esperance, Albany and the Perth Motorplex, the campaign showcased the depth of talent within the field, with multiple champions, first-time winners and veteran performers all contributing to a season packed with storylines.

Jamie Oldfield opened the 2025/26 Pro Dirt Series season in dominant fashion at Ellenbrook Speedway, winning both heats before converting pole position into victory in the Ray Tulk Memorial and Round One feature after a hard-fought 30-lapper marked by multiple cautions and lead changes. Warren Oldfield struck back at Perth Motorplex in Round Two, taking the Powerpalooza X win from Jamie Oldfield and Joe Chalmers after a composed drive at the front, before backing it up in Round Three with another controlled victory over Chalmers and Brent Vosbergen to establish early-season momentum.

Brent Vosbergen then added his name to the winners’ list in Round Four, claiming the John Day Classic at the Perth Motorplex after consistently managing a chaotic 30-lap feature to defeat Joe Chalmers and Michael Holmes, while Round Five saw Kye Blight return in style at Boxing Night, sweeping heats and leading much of the feature to beat Jamie Oldfield and Holmes. Round Six delivered a historic Oldfield family podium at the Motorplex, with Jamie Oldfield winning ahead of Warren and Beau Oldfield after a race defined by strategy, traffic, and multiple cautions.

Blight continued his strong form in Round Seven at Albany Speedway, overcoming early pressure from Warren Oldfield before taking control of a caution-heavy feature to defeat Chalmers and Holmes, then followed it up in Round Eight at the Perth Motorplex with another dominant flag-to-flag performance, beating Beau Oldfield and Chalmers. Warren Oldfield returned to victory lane in Round Nine at Bunbury Speedway, charging from mid-pack to defeat Jamie and Beau Oldfield in the Allan Blake Classic after taking control mid-race and managing restarts expertly.

Round Ten produced a breakthrough moment as Abbey Pickering made history at the Perth Motorplex, becoming the first female Pro Dirt Series feature winner after a late-race pass on Luke Halliday to secure a landmark victory over Chalmers and Halliday. Round Eleven saw another strong Oldfield performance at Esperance Speedway, with Warren dominant from pole to claim his first Pro Dirt Series round win at the venue ahead of Beau Oldfield and Chalmers after controlling a heavily interrupted feature.

Beau Oldfield broke through for his maiden Pro Dirt Series win in Round Twelve at Kalgoorlie Speedway, holding off Rod Musarra and a charging Warren Oldfield in a tightly contested 30-lap feature shaped by traffic and late pressure. The WA Title weekend at the Perth Motorplex featured preliminary night success for American visitor Shane Clanton and Jamie Oldfield, but it was Kye Blight who ultimately claimed his third WA Late Model Title with a composed, high-pressure feature win over Musarra and Warren Oldfield.

Clanton responded strongly in the mid-season stretch by winning the Michael Holmes Racing Hump Day Hustle at the Motorplex, leading much of the 30-lap feature to defeat Chalmers and Knowles after a race of constant traffic battles. The season then shifted into history-making territory with the first-ever 100-lap Late Model Nationals, where Warren Oldfield triumphed in a dramatic finish over Nicastri and Clanton after a long, attrition-filled endurance race.

Warren Oldfield capped off a dominant 2025/26 Pro Dirt Series season with victory in the final round at the Perth Motorplex, but it was Joe Chalmers who ultimately secured both the series championship and the track title through consistent podium finishes. Oldfield started on the front row and held strong in a race repeatedly interrupted by cautions, while Chalmers steadily worked his way forward to apply late pressure in the closing stages. In the end, Warren proved too strong to be caught over the final laps, taking the win ahead of Chalmers and Beau Oldfield, while Chalmers’ consistent season results sealed the overall championship crown.

Blight then produced complete dominance across the Easter Spectacular at Albany Speedway, sweeping both nights with unbeaten heats and feature wins over Holmes, Peter Walker and Jay Bassanelli to reinforce his season-long form. Warren Oldfield closed out his standout campaign with victory in the Red Dirt Rumble at Kalgoorlie Speedway, edging Jamie Oldfield and Joe Chalmers in a tight family-heavy finish after another controlled drive through traffic.

Overall, the season will be remembered for its shared dominance between several standout performers, with Warren Oldfield, Kye Blight, and emerging winners like Beau Oldfield and Abbey Pickering all leaving a significant mark. From tight championship battles to landmark victories and historic events, the 2025/26 Pro Dirt Series delivered a full spectrum of racing drama, setting a strong foundation for another highly anticipated season ahead. This would bring the season to a close, so stay tuned for a full stats release before we get our annual awards night underway in a couple of weeks!
