Australian Sprint Car racing is entering a new era led by newly-elected SCCA President, Jason McIver.
McIver, a former Sprint Car driver himself, is already heavily involved in the sport through the operation of Northline Speedway in Darwin - host of the annual Chariots of Thunder event.
Jason speaks for the first time since taking on the role, joining Toby to chat about a number of topics including what the role requires of him, traction control, driver concussions, modernising the sport, plans for a national series, revamping the Australian Sprintcar Championship, the TV & streaming debate and more.

As a punter that loves Speedway in general, if they can get a national tour up and running with free to air TV, it would have to benefit every speedway enthusiast. There's no Supercars in Summer and on TV or even live stream has got to be a winner for us petrol (methanol) heads. Please include late models, super sedans, modified production, midgets etc.
I think the way the sport is at the moment, is in a very very good place, its better then it ever has been, thats even with a national series. Tracks are doing their own things, aswell as each states series, which are drawing big crowds, big prize money, and racing like we havnt seen
Rather shocked to see Jason as the pres of SCCA. But knowing how he has brought back and rebirthed the COT in NT, He is gunna be going ball's to the wall's in making sure things are improved
Yeah I think it’s cool to see him in this position. I’m not a fan of change for the sake of change, so hopefully he can make worthwhile improvements that benefit the sport as a whole.
He was generous with his time and gave answers to a lot of questions people have been asking.
A good start!

Great interview, I think Jason will be great in the position. His a sport first guy and will listen to the people within the sport. I feel will see a massive improvement across the board going forward with him at the helm.
Sounds good I wish them so much luck such great racing and so many local talented Aussies.
Please don’t lock it behind a paywall yes! I mean you Fuxtell
Great update and things look promising 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Let’s see how things progress!

What I really want to see from the S.C.C.A, is a concerted effort to bring back another 1/3 mile track to the East Coast of Australia.
The last 1/3 mile track closed in 1996, when the Sydney Showground Speedway closed, and I for one say its about time Australian Speedway, and Sprintcar Racing in particular, put on their "big boy pants" and started advocating for one too.
Also, I'd personally like to see the Wingless Sprintcar Division grow up and start sporting a 410" division, or is Todd Hobbson the only Australian Sprintcar Driver capable of handling one, and to do that, he needs to travel 12,000 miles away to do it.
And how about the S.C.C.A throw their hat in the ring, and give the "idiots in charge" of the Eastern Creek Speedway a hard with their dilemmas?
P.S : - To the very best of my knowledge, the only 1/3 mile tracks in Australia, are Bunbury and the Perth Motorplex.
Allow Americans to run the title
