🔥 THE ‘M’ WAS EVERYWHERE LAST NIGHT, AND ON THE PODIUMS TOO! 🔥

What an incredible night for the Baypark M across the speedway world! Our drivers were flying the colours proudly and standing tall on podiums around the country.

First up, massive congratulations to our current National Champion, Todd Hemingway, piloting the MD Motorsport 1NZM Superstock. Todd took out the win again, this time at Wellington Speedway’s Superstock $10,000 Shootout, banking a cool $5,000 for 1st place!

Todd continues to be the benchmark this season, unbeaten at Baypark Speedway and rolling in hot after his Easter Champs success in Rotorua. A seriously impressive run. 👏🔥

Meanwhile, over in the Waipa, the M was shining once again in the Super Saloons…
🏆 2NZM Chris Cowling added yet another win to his legendary résumé,
🥉 42M Trent Amrein grabbed 3rd in the Super-Saloon feature,
🥉 and 58M Stefan Roigard claimed 3rd place in the Waipa Superstock Champs!

Outstanding work from all our Baypark drivers, you made the M proud!

A huge thank you to Tyler Hill Photography and Sportsweb Photography for capturing the action. Make sure to check out their pages for all the incredible shots from the night! 📸🔥

We’re bringing back the “Take a Guess” competition — it’s become a fan favourite on our page! 🔥

Tonight’s one should be a little easier… but the time we post it will make all the difference. ⏱️

For reference:
➡️ Aimee Morrison was guessed in 43 minutes
➡️ Dean Henriksen took 21 minutes

So… how long will it take to guess this charmer from 2007? 😎
Get ready — the clock starts as soon as we hit POST! 🏁

Aloha !

🔥 THREE-WIDE at BAYPARK… and WIDE OPEN! 🔥

There’s nothing quite like the sight of race cars going 3-wide around the Baypark clay, and that’s exactly why we’re home to New Zealand’s largest speedway track. More room, more speed, more chaos (the good kind!), and more opportunities for drivers to push it to the limit.

When the throttle’s down and the cushion is calling, Baypark delivers every single time. 💨💨

If you’ve ever wondered what “wide open” really looks like… come see it for yourself.

This is Baypark Speedway, where big track racing creates big-time moments. 🏁🔥
