Overview
- During Friday’s Sprintcar C‑Main, a front wheel from Brenten Farrer’s V34 car detached and entered the spectator compound at turn three.
- Officials reported no significant injuries, with one long‑standing volunteer treated on site and at the venue’s first aid room and a second person requiring no treatment.
- Organisers temporarily halted racing to repair the catch fence and clear the area before resuming the program shortly after.
- Witnesses told ABC the wheel bounced off the back wall into a group, leaving some spectators, including children, distressed.
- Avalon Raceway says its review will examine the on‑track failure, fence performance and after‑care, and it has raised privacy concerns about social footage shared before outcomes were known.
