"There are very few atmospheres in racing that can compare to Western Springs; the place is always electric, and that makes it exciting for us racers to come out here and put on a great show," said Clauson.
The Australian trio will be made up of Brett Thomas (Qld), Lee Redmond (WA) and captained by Nathan Smee (NSW); while Shayne Alach will captain the local squad, accompanied by fellow Aucklanders Brad Mosen and Hayden Williams.
With five race meetings in just nine days, including a double-header this weekend, drivers will need to be on their best behaviour as there will be little time to repair equipment between events.
"We've got some quick turnarounds between meetings but that's not something these drivers aren't use to, especially the Americans who sometimes race every night of the week, so we should see fantastic racing all throughout the Christmas / New Year period," said Springs promoter Bill Buckley.
Tonight's action will also feature the TQ Grand Prix, sprint cars, F2s and Kiwi Kidz.
