Can The Maiolo Brothers Keep The Winning Streak Going??

Round #5 of the AHG Sprintcar Series at the Quit Bunbury Speedway this Saturday will certainly prove to be an interesting affair.

One of the questions to be answered is whether brothers Jamie and Brad Maiolo can continue their amazing run of podium places.

After the first four races of the 2015-16 campaign we see the Maiolo siblings have won three of the A Mains and grabbed another three second placings.

This is unprecedented in the 15 year history of the series.

The best performance over the previous years has been Ryan Farrell's three wins in the first four rounds back in the 2012-13 campaign.

Quite a few drivers have claimed two of the first four events in the past.

Jamie Maiolo has done this this time around - and he did likewise in the very first season back in 2000-01.

Ryan Farrell - the winningest driver over the past 15 years - has notched two of the first four feature events three times - 2002-03, 2004-05 and 2014-15.

World of Outlaws Champion Donny Schatz did it back in the summer of 2001-02.

Others to have made it in two of the first four are Dean Jacobs (USA) 2005-06, Brooke Tatnell 2006-07, Kerry Madsen 2011-12 and Luke Dillon 2013-14.

And another little stat is that only two of the above drivers were able to score another victory in round #5 - Ryan Farrell in 2002-03 and Luke Dillon in 2013-14.

Only four of the nominated drivers - Ryan Farrell 14, Jamie Maiolo 7, Jason Kendrick 4 and Ben Ellement 3 - have won at the Bunbury clayway before.

Another interesting little piece is that three of the five drivers who have played their double-point "Joker" card so far are sitting in the Top 10 in points.

But with David Priolo 6th, Ken Sartori 8th and Jason Pryde 10 not nominating for Saturday they will most like drop down a few spots in the standings.

Who will triumph at Bunbury - you will have to be there to find out!!
