A star studded line-up of 410 Sprintcars will dawn on Avalon Raceway for round two of the calendar and the annual running of the sprintcar Fireball Derby backed by the Junior Formula 500 Speedweek.
Fresh out of the USA and straight back into full time racing under his belt, the W17 of James McFadden will touch down on Avalon Clay for the first time this year.

Corey Mccullagh was on a mission from the first drop of the flags upon his last appearance for the Christmas Cup at Avalon, he will go on to look for that top step result that team has searched so hard for.
After a monumental roll-over at Avalon Raceway for the Gold Cup, the T7 of Tim Hutchins is currently locked in to make the show. With a never say die attitude, this Tasmanian will be out for one epic return.
Daniel Pestka has played into his recent career best form, shaping up to the big guns of the sport with fierce intent.
Grant Anderson has been electric in recent weeks, always managing a good result at Avalon, The Gun will be one to watch.
Among other competitors locked in to do battle, will be Callum Walker, Brett Milburn, Jordyn Charge and Rusty Hickman all capable of dishing out a serve on their given night.
The Junior Formula 500 class is a tight group fronted by teams mainly out of both Victoria and NSW where the Junior 500s are most represented.
Among the Victorian contingent Tyler Maggs has been a figure of the Junior 500 class since his first run. The V24 is already a respected and revered car every moment it is on track.
Zoe Pearce has decades of speedway royalty behind her, which pole vaults the V67 into a league truly of her own when embarking on Avalon Raceway for the Formula 500 speedweek.
Dakota Luckett, Jett Hart, Rusty Ponting and more have been carving their teeth fast since joining the 500 ranks.
The New South Wales drivers putting in the miles will be looking for the home state upset and make NSW the state to revere.
Among them, Kobi Wright, Blaxx Caton, Ky Young, Max Bevan, Riley Simpson and Mitch Saunderson all fast shaping up to the Victorians for the state based Junior Formula 500 speedweek series.
