Fifteen qualifying heats occurred at the Makit Hardware Narrogin Speedway on the first night of competition, with recently crowned SSA National Junior Sedan Mitchell Baker winning the first heat of the title.
Bryden Southwell, Rory Elsum Beaumont and South Australian Drew Flatman all enjoyed solid nights along with Broome's Riley Dunne aboard his Broome Boulevard Cafe Hyundai Excel.

Iwanow is ChampionBlake Iwanow has successfully defended his West Australian Junior Sedan title, at the Makit Hardware, Narrogin Speedway on Sunday night. Just Gavin Myers in 1979 and 1980 along with Bradley Oldfield in 2016 and 2017 have been able to achieve the feat prior to Iwanow in the forty three year history of the event.
Iwanow would start on the front row of the grid for the twenty five lap main with Beau Oldfield, while South Australian Drew Flatman and Broome driver Riley Dunn would start off row two.
The race would be run at a cracking pace, with the first of five stopages occurring on lap three when Branden Buszan spun on turn four, The resulting restart would see Drew Flatman, Beau Oldfield and Riley Dunne all racing closely, trying to stay with the defending champion.
On lap six, Flatman was deemed to have spun Riley Dunne, sending Flatman to the rear of the field, on the restart Dean Schofield's car didnt accelerate sending cars everywere, resulting in a third caution, with Schofield going to the rear of the field.
The race would then settle into a rhythm with thirteen consecutive laps under green, Iwanow opened a handy break, but hehind him, a brilliant ensued for the minor placings with Beau Oldfield and Riley Dunne fighting for second place, while Kayne Dellar, Brandon Buszan, Jye Irving and Rory Elsum Beaumont would have a great battle for the forth position, Irving's elevation through the field was spectacular after starting on the sixth row, with the Victorian put in a great display of driving.
Kurtis Blackburn spun in turn four bringing on the yellow lights, as iwanow had opened up a lead of 3.126 seconds, Iwanow also broke the one lap track record on lap nineteen, setting a time of 19.751, as the yellow lights came on.
With a six lap restart called, the race would change complexion, with Iwanow not getting away from the field as he had previously, with Beau Oldfield challenging in the laps that followed.
A further twist four laps from the finish would occur, when Josh Ahearn lost a wheel in the main straight, leaving drivers with the same scenario as a week previous in the National Title, a four lap restart.
Oldfield immediately challenged Iwanow for the lead, but Iwanow was able to hold off the challenges to claim his second consecetive victory, with Oldfield a gallant second, Riley Dunne drove a great race to finish third, with Irving a creditable fourth.
It would be Iwanows 51st and last feature win in Speedway Sedans Australia Junior Sedans, with the talented driver retiring from junior racing as a true champion.
The final results for the feature were 1st Blake Iwanow, 2nd Beau Oldfield, 3rd Riley Dunne, 4th Jye Irving, 5th Kayne Dellar, 6th Kurtis Blackburn, 7th Zoe Young, 8th Mitchell Baker, 9th Seth Hinsey, 10th Izak Davies, 11th Dean Schofield, 12th Blake Palmer, 13th Deagan McNally.
