2009 Kerrick Sports Sedan Series information

The 2009 Kerrick Sports Sedan Series was an Australian motor sport competition which began on 25 April 2009 at Wakefield Park and ended on 22 November at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit^[1] after five rounds and fifteen races. The series was open to Group 3D Sports Sedans, Tran-Am automobiles and New Zealand TraNZam automobiles.^[2] It marked the 19th running of a national series for Sports Sedans in Australia.

Chevrolet Corvette driver Des Wall won the series after a fierce contest between the top three competitors. Winners of the previous two series, Tony Ricciardello (Alfa Romeo Alfetta) and Darren Hossack (Audi A4), competed initially for the race wins, but mechanical unreliability and on-track confrontations, usually with each other, allowed Wall to close the gap. Wall only won three races (compared to Ricciardello's six and Hossack's five) but was only out of the top five race positions once all season with an eighth-placed finish at Oran Park. Ricciardello and Hossack each failed to finish two races during the series. Wall, who has been a Sports Sedan front runner since 1989, claimed his first series win with a twelve-point victory over Ricciardello. Hossack was third, nine points behind Ricciardello.

The only other driver to score a race win was Opel Calibra driver Chris Jackson at Oran Park and he finished fifth in the points chase behind series veteran Kerry Baily (Nissan 300ZX).
