If you love your weeknights loud, fast, and slightly unhinged (in the best possible way), clear the diary — the TFH PWR Sprintcar Power Tour (Round 5) is rolling into B&S Earthworks Timmis Speedway, Mildura for a one-night-only showdown on Wednesday, January 14.
And this one’s got a proper international flavor: four American sprintcar stars are part of the headline act — bringing that “USA sprintcar” aggression, confidence, and flat-out speed to our wide-open Sunraysia clay.
The four American drivers to watch
Hunter Schuerenberg
Schuerenberg is one of those drivers who’s been building toward the big time for years — and in 2025 he and Vermeer Motorsports stepped up to chase the World of Outlaws tour full-time.
He’s known for being smooth when it’s slick and brave when it’s fast
Aaron Reutzel 
Reutzel is the kind of bloke who turns up with a résumé and leaves with a target on his back — a 2015 ASCS National Tour champion who then rattled off three straight All Star Circuit of Champions titles (2018–2020).
He’s quick, calculated, and not afraid to race you hard — which usually makes for either a masterclass… or fireworks.
T.J. Stutts
If you reckon fairy tales don’t exist in sprintcars, Stutts would like a word. In 2024 he scored his first World of Outlaws win by taking down the big names at Williams Grove in the Morgan Cup — one of the sport’s iconic stages.
He’s proof that experience + hustle + a good car can ambush anyone on the night.
Tim “TK” Kaeding
Kaeding’s no stranger to Aussie dirt. He famously won the 2014 Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic at Premier Speedway — and then celebrated so wildly it became part of Australian speedway folklore.
If you’ve never seen TK race, expect commitment: high line, high speed, and very little “backing out of it”.
The locals and the internationals collide
Of course, it’s not just about the visitors — the beauty of a tour night in Mildura is watching international heavy hitters clash with the drivers who know our conditions best. The line-up features a strong Aussie contingent, and there’s a local storyline worth keeping an eye on: Sunraysia car owner Terry Kelly will be in the mix with the Kamstra-backed operation, paired with Adelaide driver Brendan Quinn. It’s the kind of combination that can quietly sneak up the order — especially if they hit the setup early and find clean air at the right time.
So it’s not “guest stars doing laps” — it’s stars vs stars, and our region gets the midweek main event.

Why this one matters for Sunraysia
The Power Tour has been pitched as a major new sprintcar series with big incentive money across the run, and it’s pulling drivers from Australia, the USA and New Zealand — so having Round 5 in Mildura is a genuine “circle it on the calendar” moment.
So if you’ve ever wanted to watch World-level American sprintcar talent tackle our local clay, this is your chance — one night, one track, full noise.
