Some of the country’s best sedan racers will feature at this year’s event, set to battle it out on Heartland’s iconic 510-metre track for the ‘north versus south’ clash.
Attracting teams from all over the country, a full field of around 50 cars are expected to make the pilgrimage to Moama for two days of high octane fun.
The Easter weekend event marks the return of the North South 50 to Heartland Raceway for the second consecutive year.
“Last year was a huge success,” raceway owner and venue manager David Roberts said.
“We had competitors from Tasmania, Queensland, NSW and South Australia.
“Our aim is to increase the size and reach of the event every year — we’re working to make it bigger each time.”
With a highly competitive field always on hand given the central location of Heartland, local racers Lucas Roberts, Dave MacKenzie and Ash Bergmeier are expected to put up a strong fight on their home track this year.

Defending title holder, Mick Nicola Jr, is expected to return to try and retain his glory, and also make a play for the prize purse on offer after walking away last year with a sweet $5600 win.
With Australian number one Matty Pascoe also tipped to make an appearance, David stressed that if you’re going to watch one speedway event this year, North South 50 should be it.
“This event is not to be missed if you’re a follower of speedway,” he said.
“That’s the feel around the country, at the moment this event is red-hot.”
More than 5000 people are expected to come through the raceway gates across the weekend, David said.
Whether you are a seasoned race fan or just wondering what all the fuss is about, make a night or two of excitement with world-class motorsport racing at Heartland Raceway this April.
Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for pensioners, $15 for youths (12 to 16 years) and $5 for children (five to 11 years).
